A letter from Aug 22, 2024

Dear Future Me, I'm in my best friends bed, she's asleep, and i'm alone feeling miserable. The weight of this sadness is keeping me awake, even though i'd much rather be unconscious right now, unaware of the pain in my heart. I fear it will never go away. I hope you're not as sad as i am. I hope you're doing things you enjoy, experiencing new things, loving people and being loved just as much in return. Don't settle for a job that makes you hate living. Don't waste your time trying to fulfill other peoples expectations. Live your life the way you want, and don't let the fear of change trap you in your misery. I don't want us to regret the way our life went when we die. Please carry on living, and try to get better every day. Past you
