A letter from Mar 22, 2025

Dear FutureMe, hey! i guess you are sixteen now. do you still have depression? because i do. also are you still seeing my therapist? i like her a lot; i don’t want our sessions to end. anyway, my prompt was to describe my environment and daily life. mom and a and dad are always fighting about a’s sleep and procrastination. i hope that’s been resolved, even though i don’t have much hope. at least i won’t have to deal with it when she goes to college. i wish my parents would just listen to her and try to empathize a little more. but i also kind of wish a tried a little more. i’m so glad it’s spring now. it’s my favorite season. is it still yours? i just like that the weather is perfect and school is almost over. no other season comes close. you should be glad too. another thing: r is waiting for me to talk to her about “why i have been sad,” and i’m a little scared because i want to talk about our friendship. i’m scared she doesn’t like me anymore. how is your relationship with her now? do you even talk to her? i don’t know why making friends and having social skills are so hard for me. i hope i will have gotten better when you are reading this. my only other friend is y, who i don’t know super well, so i really want more friends. i just wish r wasn’t so blunt and sarcastic-seeming and not very empathetic or comforting. maybe i don’t have a sense of humor or low enough standards. i don’t really have anyone in my life right now who i think is empathetic or comforting (except maybe my therapist). i hope you have someone now. has my time management gotten better? i keep procrastinating everything because motivation is really hard to get. also has the state of the world gotten better? a was just reading an online public forum thing and it was sad because there were so many lgbtq+phobic comments. :( anyway, i am going to dinner (korean bbq, yum) now. remember to have a good time. bye! 💕
