A letter from Jun 14, 2022

Dear FutureMe, Happy 18th Birthday!! This is you- at the age of 13 aha… i have a couple of questions for you: - are we still doing art? Dont tell me i dropped it, i like to think that by your age im a pretty decent artist you know? Thats a very nice thought but who knows. - did GCSEs go alright or did i completely blow them, and did i end up picking art for that one as well. I cant explain how much i wanna do a career in art right now its just seeming even cooler every single day man. And hows it going being trans, im struggling with it i cant lie, my mates all make me feel comfortable but coming out to mum and dad doesnt seem like a good idea? R we still identifying as a male….? Ill feel stupid if we went back on our decision, all that pain for nothin in the end…! OOOOH DO YOU HV A BF OR GF???? i cant explain it but i love the idea of dating dude it just seems so very exciting and just loving someone aaaahhhh- i feel like youve probably still not decided on one single haircut that you want, wouldnt b surprised if you went buzz at somepoint dude. also do you remember ash- did you ever continue speakinng to them or did it just not end the way we thought- god they mean so much to me and i hope so badly you guys stayed in contact- Anyways i really hope that this suprised you and you probabaly got worried and shocked about it aha- but please im so proud of you for making it this far because i know what youve dealt with in your younger life. Im the younger you- and im so impressed that youve managed to come this far. Have fun transitioning if you choose too and well done. - you, Kei Summers, 2022
