A letter from Feb 15th, 2022

Dear FutureMe, I hate school. It's almost as bad as the other school.The bullying is difficult to handle and I dont get how barking at me is supposed to make fun of me. It just makes them look stupid. I spend most of my time doing homework, chores and taking naps with my cats.I'm currently staying with my mimi and nana while my mom tries to find a place.Mimi's house is kinda gloomy with a lot of yelling.It's so loud the only time I can get things done is at night because of it. I know we got a roof over our heads that I'm thankful for but it's not a roof I feel very welcomed under. I think I would rather sleep on the sidewalk which I have done before by accident a couple times and it was not nice at all.My cats, dog and little brothers are what makes it “home” I guess. I've just been doing whatever I can to improve my mental health and not self harm. I have weekly sessions with my therapist and I've known him for years.Now it kinda feels more like we hang out weekly. It's actually really awesome. I started getting back into drawing. I think I'm about to finish my first sketch book since it hasn't been stolen like all the other ones I tried to finish over the years.I got into making clothes and jewelry all kinds of things but it's all just stuff to keep my hands busy.A lot of my friends are really impactful in my life. Hanging out with them and my cats are part of the only things keeping me going. I would just be lost without them.I hope you're not still homeless and have an actual room that would be pretty cool. Hopefully you're not doing tons of homework and having less depressive episodes too. Overall I just hope things calm down and you don't have to deal with as much as you do now. But holy cow I really hope you can just walk in the halls without getting harassed. I feel like most of that isn't too much to ask for but who knows nowadays. Yeah I don't feel like typing anymore. Dont do stupid stuff after your done reading this and you better thank me for the advice. Sincerely: past you >:)
