A letter from Oct 28th, 2021

Dear Future Lauren, I'm writing this in 2021 sitting in my bedroom in Little Rock. I have no clue where I'm going next year but obviously you know. I really hope we like it and it makes us feel less sad than here. I hope you feel more of your worth there. I wonder what you've graduated in? nursing? I'm really not sure if I'm going to stick with it, but maybe that's what I'm meant to do. When I get this letter Will be 24... that's how old mom was when she got married... Do I even have a boyfriend? I'm praying that by now Ive at least found another boy who is willing to kiss me. Because right now I've only ever gone on like 4 dates and had half a kiss. Sometimes I feel invisible from these boys and like maybe I'll just end up alone. That's okay but I better at least be a girl boss. I wonder where you live. If not Denver it better be somewhere super cool. OMG is Kelsey married???? I hope! I'm sure Sarah is married and has a kid. Where did Reagan go to college? Is Moorley and Jack still alive? Are you still driving chad? Right now chad is having to go to the shop because her check engine light is on. so rude of her. Who's your best friend? right now mine is Ney Ney and she's dating Marko ( I feel like there solemates and there going to get married.) where's Nat? please tell me her and will get married. (if they break up I don't believe in love) and how about Nicky? I really hope you still close with them because they have made this life in Little Rock worth living. Lauren I hope you love life and found your peace and purpose past volleyball. With so much love and curiosity 19 year old Lauren <3
