A letter from Jun 04, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Wow you finished senior year. Was it everything we hoped or was it miserable? I'm so excited to be done with Junior year, hopefully the senior classes were easy enough and picking college and scholarships wasn't the worst thing. Did you enjoy your last year of Grandstreet continuing to grow and try to inspire other young kids going through similar things you did? Has your friend group shifted or have you found a stable place or are you holding on till college? I hope my 18th birthday was a lot of fun and I continue to live my life and do things to feel alive. What is the craziest thing you've done this past year? What was the most unexpected plot twist of the year? I'm so excited for college and meeting new people, how are you feeling now that you are actually graduating, is it exhilarating or scary? Did your senior pics turn out how we had hoped? Also this is cliche but what is our situation with Stella, I hope we're still close, are we best friends or something new? How are you feeling in your own skin, did our journal from last may work and did we achieve our goals or are we still struggling? Next year I hope you can look back and tell past me that it was all worth it and all the memories and friends made were the journey and not the path we had to get through to reach graduation. Did I get to go to Europe or did those plans totally fall through? Are Will and I still close, I know we're going through a rough patch but I hope we both make it through. What was my favorite roles I got to play in Grandstreet this year? Did I spend any extra time with my family and has Tyler been behaving or has he gone down a bad path? I know I'm going to look back at these questions and probably cringe but right now, at the end of Junior year, all I can do is hope that it gets better and that I don't stay in this hole for another year. When is Ryan and Mickayla's Wedding? Will I be apart of the wedding party or am I just attending it? What is currently my biggest fear as I go into this new chapter? Currently I dwell on the idea of missing out and losing my teenage years to boredom but I have a feeling it will be so much worse by next year. Am I feeling happier or is it still a rollercoaster to get through? The future holds so much hope and choices and I'm so so proud that I made it through. If you're reading this just know that you survived highschool and I am proud of that accomplishment in itself. Now go make a wild awful decision and feel the adrenaline of the world around you. Mwah, Your Junior Self
