A letter from Jan 10th, 2022

Dear future self, If I'm not a dumbass and managed to send this correctly, you should be receiving this towards the end of your senior year of high school. Congrats on getting through highschool, I hope it was fun. It probably already says this somewhere but I'm about halfway through eighth grade right now (14). I'm in an ok place right now, kinda bored. My friends right now are Addy, Katie, Kylie, Jordyn, Pragna, Mason, Mylan, Jade, and Elias. I'm still pretty insecure about my looks and if anyone actually likes me but I'm getting a little better at trying to not compare myself to others and not give a ****. I don't really have a real crush on anyone. Anyone that’s not a painfully average skinny white boy is kinda bland personality-wise or taken. I'm pretty scared about highschool and my future in general but kinda hopeful. I might be interested in graphic design and something to do with helping others (therapist??) but overall I'm pretty unsure. I'm planning on mtb training this summer so I can join the high school team. I hope that goes well (I really need more exercise) and I want to climb more. I still have to wear a mask to school (which I don't mind, it's nice being able to hid my face a little) but I guess most things are normal? I got my booster shot a couple days ago but I still feel a little paranoid. Obviously this is unfortunately a one way type of thing but I have a lot of questions so it's your turn: Are you still friends with the same people? How many new friends did you make? Do you have a boyfriend? What college are you going to and what are you going to study? How was prom? How do you feel about yourself as a person? Have you figured yourself out a little more or at least accepted yourself? How would you describe your personality? Do you climb and bike more now? Do you miss middle school or are you glad that **** is over? How are the doggos? Do you hate eight grade you (me)? Do you have a full wardrobe of clothes you like yet? (this is crucial information) Does reading this make you sentimental or embarrassed? Have you gotten better at not procrastinating? What’s it like not having Lukas at home? Are you still involving art in your life somehow? What type of music do you listen to now? How ****** up is your sleep schedule? Any crazy 2020-esque **** happen? Is covid over or is that somehow still happening? Are you and your loved ones healthy? Who's the president? Some other old white dude? I'm probably forgetting something important I should mention, but oh well. I have an essay I should be writing. I just hope you're happy. I hope you still appreciate the small stuff and do stupid sentimental stuff like this. Good luck in your future <3 - Past Sasha
