A letter from Jan 14, 2026

Dear FutureMe, Right now I’m sitting in English class trying my hardest to pay attention, but I’ll be honest, i just want to go home and take a nap. It’s my least favorite time of year and it’s cold outside. I’m tired of school and on a scale of 1-10 the senioritis it’s a cool 7, still getting higher. Between work and school I’ve been busy and tired but i need money, and i have to stay on top of my grades. Other than that I feel like I’m constantly losing motivation to do anything. I don’t really have anything that i particularly find enjoyment in doing, and i don’t have anything that major goals right now except for saving enough money to upgrade my car. Mom and dad are constantly on me about if i started filling out college applications when I’m not sure if i even want to go to college, but then again, i don’t really know what my plan is. The people i don’t want to imagine living without but have to face that i might one day are my closest friends. They’re one of the main reasons i made it this far and they’ve definitely made high school more fun for me. I don't want it to but i know some time soon the day will come when i might not see or hear from them as much or anymore at all even. I just wish them the best in life in whatever they hope to accomplish in life, and i want them to know they made a big difference in my life. I hope they feel the same. I don’t know what these next few months will bring, but I promise we will figure it out, and we will find our path and where we belong The day after after graduation my hope is that if I’m not there already I will be on the way to a place where I’ll discover something i love and that I enjoy spending my time doing, I hope I regain motivation, discover passions, maybe talents I didn’t know I had, and a lot more. One thing I’m excited to do is start something new, maybe I’ll launch a business of my own or find begin a project I’m really passionate about, whatever it is, i just hope I enjoy doing it.
