A letter from Mar 7th, 2022

Dear FutureMe, Hi!!! Today was a good day. I am happy right now. This is one of the times where I’m gonna write about a memory I want you to remember. Today I sold my first painting Commission that was not for my family. So a couple months ago was my friend Aviel’s birthday and he really likes Spiderman, so I painted him one and gave it to him on his birthday. He really liked it. Then, his mom saw it and she really liked It. It was literally a very simple cartoon drawing of Spiderman that I outline with a sharpie in the car on the way to his party. It was really easy and one of the worst paintings that I have ever done. But, she liked it and asked me to paint an angel in the clouds. It was kind of hard I never done anything like that in the shading was kind of difficult to. I am going to attach the finished product to this letter. I am not sure if the attached picture thing works though. Personally I think it came out OK but whenever I showed my friend or mom or Lola they said it was really good. I’m not really sure how to price a painting I had to figure that out. I kind of talked to Aviel about it and we agreed $20, but he zelle me $35 and I was so happy. His mom really liked it. So, that was the first nice story of the day. I wonder if you got any more commissions at all. I never thought that someone would actually pay for my paintings. Anyways, I have the keys to my school. If you don’t remember right now I am 17 years old and a senior at Mount sac early college Academy. And yes, I have the keys to the school. So let me explain. It’s actually a funny story. This morning, I had a group project to create my own restaurant and figure out the price for the stuff. I was paired with Isaiah and Trennien, Who are complete opposites. Anyways, I am generally friends with both of them so I was pretty happy that I got paired with them and they let me in their group. We started doing the project on Isaiah‘s computer, looking for places to rent for the restaurant. I noticed a very bright purple line across the screen and I thought it was cool but I knew it was a crack. I made a joke about it because Isaiah and I are Friends like that, and I was like what is that purple line on your screen? He was like, and I am quoting this directly, Violet if you do not shut the **** up I will literally put a purple on your screen. And then I started dying. I said humor is like that, by the way. He is very angry and aggressive and out of pocket. But yeah also very scary because what if he’s actually not a joking. So later that day I saw him in the hallway with my other friends and we started joking about what happened that morning in class with his screen and I think he did not realize that I knew he was joking and he probably thought that he scared me a little. So, he gave me a “starting over gift.” He pulled out two keys from his bag and he said they are the keys for the school. I was like what the heck why would he have the keys in school. Also Isaiah works in wonderful ways and he’s cool and was serious like that. Anyways he said that they are for Mr. fish. Freshman year we had a PE teacher named Mr. Fish. I’m not sure if you remember him. I had a lot of fun times in that class. Sadly, he got fired. No one really knows the exact reason but we can get many. First of all, a lot of soon as he did get injured in his class. But, I just think the principal didn’t like him. Anyways long story short, he got fired and left the keys on his desk. He left to go do some thing or some thing and Isaiah took his entire lanyard of keys. There is a master key and there’s individual keys for other things in the school. Isaiah kept the master key and he just gave me the other keys. I was honored. I feel so cool. But yeah, I just thought that was a funny story and I wonder where those keys are now and what you did with them I think I am going to put them in my box that I designated for a senior year things. Also if my grammar seems weird or like the wording seems weird it’s because I’m using text to speech because I’m too lazy to type right now. But yeah, I hope you are doing good. Do not forget to appreciate little moments. I have not been doing so good lately but the little moments a really fun for me. Not to be deep or emo or anything. Also, tomorrow I will be touring northridge with Anekin, Jaytin, and Aviel. I wonder if you went there. We will see. Right now I only got excepted into a California State University San Bernardino and Northridge. I am kind of torn, because Anabelle goes to San Bernardino and it is a medical school but Northridge is a really good film school and my friends might be going there. Not to mention if I go to San Bernardino Anabelle will only be there for a year when my friends would be at Northridge as long as I am probably. We will see where this goes. I have been really stressed about college money driving living literally everything. I am trying to come myself down and not worry too much because I know stress makes you sick. I feel like throwing up every time I just am alone with my thoughts. Anyways I am going to end it here. I really hope you are feeling good and better. I hope you can look back on these little memories and have a nice pleasant time. I can’t wait for all the memories that I make in the future too. I hope they involve me having my own car in place and driving LOL. Have a good time and don’t forget to not take things so seriously and that everything will always end up being okay. Don’t stress. That’s what this violet version right now. Also I hope covid situation is better. We are lifting the mask mandate next week, but there are still vaccines everywhere and I am not vaccinated yet. I love you and I am proud of you, I know you will become such a great woman. Violet Gallegos
