A letter from Feb 13th, 2022

Dear FutureMe, Tomorrow is Valentine's day. You do not have a valentine and that's ok. But if by the time you're reading this you still don't have one? You need to get serious. At your age you've only had one valentine and that's your mum? Which is still okay but this year it should be different, yeah? Even if it's a friend, that would be nice. Otherwise you're not doing so great, I won't lie to you. You're starting University tomorrow and you dont even know if that's the course you want. Wait should I be talking in first person? Ugh, I don't know if it's the course I want. I hope by this point you've figured something out and managed to set goals for yourself. I hope you've gotten that tattoo you've always wanted, gone bowling and to that place with the ballpit. Right now as I write this, I am kind of sad. I let a guy mistreat me because I wasn't clear on my standards and boundaries, I hope you're doing better. I hope you learned to love yourself and stopped having so many cheat meals on your diet. (You better have reached your weight goal) Not to make you feel bad or anything. Yeah so mostly right now my biggest pain is not knowing what I want with my future and my relationships with friends and family. You should check up on your family more btw. I hope you're doing that. I don't know what else to say. Please, please please, tell me you love yourself now. That's all I ask from you because right now you are just trying. I hope you succeeded. Love, Me
