A letter from May 27, 2025

Dear Future Me, You've officially changed your name by this point. It's Kahurangi, and despite wanting to choose Joseph you went with your gut feeling. You play trumpet, guitar, bass sorta, and you're in a concert band. You do drama competitions, and music competitions. Do you still do that? You live at 54a Park Road with your two birds Princess and Poocake, with your little dog Georgie. You're about to move into your caravan! Manase and Zac are graduating this year, do you remember them? Your grades are great!! All your teachers are proud. Your favourite teacher is Mrs Bullot. How is she? You've been dating Marco for over a year now!!! Are you still with him? How is everything? I have so many questions but I don't want to overwhelm myself. To my past self, Frank has moved schools and we say hello over Snapchat every now and again. You just started to play bass with your arch nemesis Rowan. Don't worry, you're still her secret arch nemesis. You know you're better than her. You got your comics and read them so much you can almost remember every picture. Lee passed away about a year and a month after you wrote your first letter. We never started our band but we have something so much better now. So, Future Me, how is everything? From yourself.
