A letter from December 15th, 2022

Dear FutureMe, First of all I just wanted to say happy 21st. Congrats, you've made it this far in life! Now. I am writing because I am curious as to how life has turned out for me at this age. If it's one thing I've learned from 2022, it's that change can happen out of no where and will always happen no matter how big or small. So in my brain I have a set way I can imagine my future going or atleast thats how my brain wants my 21st to be. I'll tell you about that idea soon so you can compare how much everything has changed. But first I'll tell you about how my life is right now. So it is 15/12/22 it is 10:57am as I write. Tyler has left for work as he starts at 11am. I don't start until 4pm. Work for both of us has been busy since it is Christmas season in retail 💀 but I am appreciating working in my current job as Maccas was mentay ******* me from the inside out slowly. Tyler is syncing his games from his Xbox one to Xbox series x. We live at Will's house. We've been together for 2 months and 10 days (I think). I am hungryyy right now. I haven't gotten ready for the day yet. I probably smell. Morgan is my son/pet dinosaur. It is raining and summer has not started yet sadly. I finished practicum quite a few weeks ago now. I am working lots and enjoying my holiday. Now a side note. One thing I struggle with is that I don't want to accept that Tyler is an important person in my life or a permanent person incase he goes. I however am going to write all of this as if he was a permanent person in your life. If he is not with you right now, I send my condolences and my appreciation as whatever it was was for a good reason to leave. So these are the questions I have for you/this is how I think life will look: Have you graduated early childhood? And are you working in an early childhood centre If so which ece centre Where do you currently live Are you still living in tauranga Are you and Tyler still planning on having kids now that you've finished polytech? Are you living in a small town yet How much has you and Tyler's relationship progressed? Are you planning on getting married at some point or is it still too soon? Are you in debt? Have you traveled outside of the north island yet If so, where have you been? What color is your hair Are you still mates with your ece class Did dad and pixie buy a house yet? What's Lilli studying Where does Lilli live Hows Morgan Did you get any other pets Are you living in a granny flat yet What are your plans for the future now that you're out of study Anyway. I think that's enough questions for now. I don't know what will happen in the next 3 years but I want you to know that no matter how life has turned out that your past selves will always think that you must be the coolest person ever as you are the only version of yourself that can achieve everything you want. I hope this letter finds you well and you have found a sense of meaning from it. From, Laura.
