A letter from Aug 21, 2024

Dear FutureMe, Don’t expect this to capture my whole personality or anything like the other ones. I just want to send this letter to me a year from now. Mainly because I am so curious how life is going to be. The difference between about to start your senior year of high school and the very beginning of your first year as a freshman in college, is certainly very great. For one thing I won’t have the same job as I do now, I work at sundaes. That could change any day tbh bc it’s so stupid but it gives me the money I need to purchase new school clothes. Not enough to buy a car though. I’m hoping by the time you receive this I buy a car. I’m sure we have figured our life out a little bit more, we’re great now but certainly not ready to make all those big decisions yet. Last soccer season in high school this year, I don’t even know where I’m going to college. I’ve been on this kick of wanting to constantly change things so I might be a totally person then too, who really knows. I’ve received a bunch of old letters I’ve wrote, I haven’t written any this year that I remember. I’ve isolated a lot this summer and realize maybe I don’t need friends. That carrier some intense stress on us always, but the truth is, we really reach our highest potential when we are alone. No one can push you harder than you can push yourself, remember that queen. By the time you receive this you will be 18. As of our goals now, maybe tatted up with a cute spine tatty, long hair, long lashes and nicely shaped brows. Don’t forget that big **** you’ve curated. You curvy yet? Nah bc tell me why we get “thick” and then slim tf down. At this time you are already at college, maybe doing college soccer as that’s a goal right now to. Are you studying nursing to be a CRNA or are you doing a path to become an anesthesiologist or a radiologist? If not I’m intrigued. How was the senior trip? At this point you’ve dated Donny for 2 years and 3 months. 3 in total. 5 and counting. I wonder what college we decided on, how our senior pics came out, how our relationship with our family and self is developing, and how many tears were shed when you were dropped off alone at college. How does Donny feel about all of this? I bet he is overwhelmed. We can’t even spend his birthday with him…we will surprise him that’ll be so cute. Do you miss your kitty, idk bro he’s laying on me rn. Did you get mvp for soccer? Ooh how are the boys at school? This is all so irrelevant to you it’s crazy. College girl. My biggest problem rn is that it’s so mf cold in August. You had your grad party, I hope it was an absolute rager. (I doubt it) I wonder what college you’re at, what path you’re on, how you plan to make money, how many friends you’ve made, how nice it feels to leave everyone here. Remember that those who follow the crowd are lost and that your biological cells aging matters. Stay cute. **** I had another quote to tell you bro, it was so good. Oh yeah, remember 3 things for me. 1. Shoot for the moon, even if you fall short, you’ll fall into the stsrs, the stars that are greater than the people in Roxbury and Margaretville could even dream to be. You have expectations higher for yourself than any of these nobody’s here will ever achieve. Make mama proud. She’s already our biggest fan. I’m so excited for us. You’re gonna do amazing as you continue on. You’re doing amazing sweetie :). If you see this take it as the reminder to give Donny a call. He misses you extra rn. <3 **** ***** you’re almost 19??? Gross. **** yourself out to Halloween. Have some fun. Post it. Love you. Don’t do drugs, don’t drink caffeine, don’t smoke nicotine, don’t smoke weed, don’t do what I wouldn’t do. Praise the lord, I’m praying for us. Sleep tight in your pink cutesy coquette dorm. Hoping your roomie is the sister you’ve always wanted. Hope there’s clothing stores near by, food to eat, maybe a Starbucks, maybe the city. You’re gonna go far. Here’s your reminder to play that Noah Kahan song. Have *** with your boyfriend, don’t get pregnant, make him your finance, get married, make millions, pop a ***** once in a while. Ride it right. Don’t slouch your back. Arch it ;). Pillow princess’s have more fun anyway. If you see this today, drinks on me tonight.
