A letter from Jul 15, 2023

Dear FutureMe, How is the last year of highschool? Did you apply for the pool this summer? How's our best friend? Is Noah doing ok? I'm asking these things because they are what matter most to me right now? What matters most to you? Is it the same stuff that matters now? I doubt it. Right now, you're probably thinking of graduation. Maybe even a new potential relationship. What matters now probably won't even come to your mind in 3 year time. A bad habit will become a bad memory. A toxic relationship will be a toxic idea. A broken up friendship will be a memory you smile at. All of this is how you see my life. You see my life as a memory. While it is a memory to you, I'm still living it. I'm living a ****** dramatic life. My life was once yours. You don't see it that way though. You look back on me and say *that was so embarrassing". Am I an embarrassment to you? I'm trying my best. I want you look at me and say you're proud. Because I want to make myself proud. Remember that I might not be you, but you are me. Inside of your once thick shell is a teenage girl trying to make a name of herself. I hope you're proud of me. I love you Dani.
