A letter from May 08, 2024

Dear FutureMe, You're finally graduating. I am so proud of where you have made it up until this point. You won states for your culinary program at the tech center, which sent you to the National ProStart Invitational to represent your state. You competed in SkillsUSA for your state, which did not lead you to another national competition, but that's okay. You have won first place in track meets this year, for the first time in high school. Your mental health is improving, and I cannot be more proud of how far you have come. Today is the day before the regional track meet, and you decided to try the long jump for the first time. I'm very nervous about competing in it tomorrow, but that is okay because it is an experience that you deserve. The prom is in 3 days, and you're going with your best friend Gabe. By the way, did you ever tell him how you feel? At the moment, I like him. He is funny, sweet, caring, kind, and so many more things. He makes me feel wanted and even takes me on cute dates. He is the best boy I have ever met. Our first date, we went out for ice cream, and it was the most fun I have ever had with a boy. He doesn't ********* me, or make me feel like I'm only wanted for my body. Anyways, happy graduation day pretty girl, you deserve it.
