A letter from Jun 02, 2022

Dear FutureMe, Hello there! This is your 14 year old 8th grade self here, reporting for duty! So, the best (most tolerable) thing I learned this year was probably… a lesson from Y-Dubs. Yeah, I know it isn’t even from school, but it was how to plan a novel and it was very beneficial. I liked it because it helped me…plan a novel!!!! Well anyway, back to work. The next prompt is what I’ve learned about myself and others. Hmmm… well, there are many things I’ve learned about myself. 1) I am distant and maybe even aloof at times. I think having zero best friends at this time really does not help the situation. Also, I’m moving this summer so I’ve given up hope for good friends. 2) I’m lazy. So lazy! A procrastinator too! 3) I have little impulse control. 4) Finally, a good thing! I’m loyal, very loyal. I learned these things through reflection and Star Wars. Don’t ask. I should remember not to be aloof! That is not me. That is Crosshair. I am not aloof, will never be. The End. Alright, now for the pep talk. If you haven’t figured out what the heck you want to do next year, whether it be college, Air Force, or whatever else, follow your gut. You know yourself, you’ve always had. I know you want to do everything, but you also know you have to pick one. I suggest waiting to go to college, wait till you’re older and have an idea on what you want to do. Maybe do airplane stuff and write. Get an apartment and a cat. Just be wise, and follow your instincts. Love ya! Okay last words, coming right up. Don’t procrastinate, learn to fly a plane, write a book, and do something to help your broken country. Because it’s only getting worse, sweetheart. Happy Graduation! Love, A Fine Pilot, Somewhat Tolerable Houseguest, and Occasional Humanitarian.
