A letter from April 9th, 2025

Dear FutureMe, this will probably be one of the biggest updates yet so here we go. I am 27, still with Richard, still a renter, still no kids and still working in the small town gas station that I love so much. in fact, im a manager there now! I've changed positions a couple times to find the right fit but as kitchen assistant I feel great :) things with Richard are still doing well, we are getting better and closer every day now that the both of us has worked on ourselves more. speaking of I just fired my therapist! not ghosted! fired! because I finally feel ok in my brain enough to handle life (thanks kev) overall things are going very great! oh and I'm talking to some of the family again! mom and I are really close she's done a lot better and she even apologized for what happened and we've made up. im actually about to go steal my lil bro for a couple weeks lol so overall its going v good in the family dept. right now my goals for the future are way more simple than they used to be and this year things could change way more than I even expected! first off my boss is thinking of leaving my favorite little gas station and I think that'll be the best time for me to do something new. I've worked retail, fast food and as a cashier,, what about working for a zoo? or being a LION TRAINER??? idk if thats possible but it is a job I saw in an index so alas I still wrote it down just. in. case. but fr there's a lot of options that ive never thought of before because I was blinded by aspirations that left no room for what I really wanted so I've been working on that the past couple years now. figuring out what was an aspiration because I was told I should want it or because I actually loved it and now that I've soul searched for some time, I've realized that my career isn't the most important thing to me its what I get to do for the world and my people around me so as long as we all happy what else should I worry about? now I still do wanna go to college but now I wanna go for something I actually enjoy! do I see that in the near future? not quite but thats ok! for now I will continue reading books, talking to people and googling the things I love most because really college ain't the only place to learn and so much is out there for free!? just to learn about?! so might as well :) welp I can't wait to read this in a year (maybe) and reflect on life again, see what has changed, get to write ANOTHER letter to myself about all the wonderful changes in life. see you later man. hope next year (or so) just keeps going up and up
