A letter from Jul 24, 2022

Dear future me, You just turned 16. These are supposed to be the best years of your life; high school is where you fall in love and plan your future. I'm going to tell you, and I assume you know that it was and most like won't be the "best years of your life." I do hope you learn from **** as I do. I hope your next boyfriend doesn't need days of you begging to convince him to take you on a date. I hope he listens to music with you without rolling his eyes. I hope you learned to love who we are, what we look like, and how we talk and act. I've been working really hard to get there, and I just wanna know I made it. If I make it, listen to Roman Candles by DCFC for me. That's the song that truly understands you today, so please remember where you came from. I know you're gonna be real embarrassed of me in a few years, but I'm doing my best. And for god's sake, I hope you can finally do even eyeliner every day, Jesus Christ!!
