Dear FutureMe, I'm writing to you from Mica and Jasper's beautiful backyard. In spring, it's the perfect time to be here. The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and it is not too hot for Fritz to sunbathe. Housesitting here is a glimpse of what the future in Victoria could hold. Speaking of house sitting, you and your handsome roommate have been doing it like a full-time job. Whether it's Mica and Jasper's, Jasper's parents' Cook Street oasis, Suzanne's Rockland wintertime cottage, or Michelle's place with a bedroom made for a king, I'm immensely grateful for all the opportunities. They have all been a great home away from home. After living in Victoria for two years, I had no clue if I'd still love it the same. However, each day I fall more and more in love with it. I don't think I could find the same fulfillment living in a bigger city, and the sense of community I feel in Victoria is unmatched. Although I want to travel lots after graduating from Royal Roads, this instead Calgary is what I call home. Another reason why I can't call Calgary home is because I have no clue if I have a mental or physical place I can go back to. I thought I would be prepared for our parents to get separated, but I still never would have imagined the outcome to be so messy. When Mom said the words, "you won't be surprised, but I'm separating from Dad," it was quite comical. I actually thought, "about time," and was thankful that Mom had stopped playing the boy who cries wolf. What I didn't see coming was the ugliest parts of my parents on full display. Growing up in an abusive household, I assumed that I had seen everything, which is far from the truth. Since the day Mom moved out, both parents have put the other on blast. Whether it's Mom taking items from the house and leaving the boys, or Dad and his slander about Mom's "cheating, "witchcraft, or Nazi great father" it is intense to be in the middle of it all. The first month was easy to laugh everything off as our parents' theatrics are nothing new to us., But after the phone call with Dad, hearing him tear up for the first time in 15 years, that's when it started to hit me. It's heartbreaking to tell your Dad that you raised yourself, and he admits it's true. I didn't say that with pride, but with regret. Anyway, the worst part is that with each day that goes by, I'm losing my brothers. They used to be my favourite people on earth, and now I don't even feel like I know them. I took for granted the relationship we had growing up. I thought nothing would break us apart, especially not our parents' splitting up. So please, if you are reading this, call your brothers and tell them you love them. Additionally, call both parents and tell them you love them, too. On the bright side, I'm excited to see what the future holds for my Mom. She is free to be herself and do things that she has never gotten to do. In my Dad's case, I hope and pray he finds true, genuine love and doesn't lose hope in finding it. Going through all this would be much harder if it weren't for Sam's support. I don't think we could have asked for a better boyfriend than him. I'm so grateful for our relationship and the abundance of love in it. He never fails to be kind, joyful, hard working, witty, ****, smart, and loving. We lucked out with this one. He has shown what real love looks like. Assuming we're still together by then, I'm looking forward to our two years and three years (when you'll be reading this). By then, maybe you two will get a little kitty hehe. Besides the family and boyfriend. The friendships in your life have been fairly good for the most part. Working at Milestones, we have made lots of friends and perhaps even long-term friendships. Although I do wish to make more friendships, (especially since the friend group in Vic might be breaking up lol). You are still in touch with all the Black Press friends, and hopeful you're still in touch with them. As for the Calgary friends, keep in touch as much as you possibly can. Hopeful you get time off and go to Stampede this summer. Additionally, let's hope you can attend TIFF 2025 and pursue more opportunities in film. Although school has been taxing and I'm exhausted, I'm hoping the payoff of graduating will feel as good as it sounds. I'm excited to see where life takes you after grad, perhaps we start writing another hit screenplay that is over 74 pages. Anyway, I'll wrap this up by answering you some questions: Have you had a threesome yet? hehe (I'M DYING TO KNOW). Are you still having lots of *** lol? Are you and Sam together? Is Sam still the love of your life? Do you live in the same apartment or city? Do you have a cat or a pet? Where have you travelled or plan to travel to? Do you have plans to make a movie or any other career aspirations? Which pretty princess dress are you wearing to grad lol? Which family members are coming to your grad? Did you graduate? What friends do you have still? What new friends did you make? Are you going on a workout grind like a full-time job? Are you toned, tan, fit, and ready? Are you keeping in touch with family, including the Island family? Is Grandma still alive? If not, how was the funeral? Do you still work at Milestones (ew)? Do you still work at Ferris? Are you happy? Umm, watch anything good recently? Did you pay rent? Did you get a tax return? Are you in jail? Are you ***? (Sam won't like that joke.) Did you dye your hair blonde and become a baddie? Are you vegan? Have we met before? Anyways, love you old head (ew 22 is sooo old). P.S. How many people from high school made Taylor Swift lyrics their birthday caption on Instagram?
