A letter from Apr 01, 2026

Time Travelled — 6 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, ’m jobless. I was fired one month ago, and I didn't want to make a great effort to land a job this past month; I wanted a break. BUT (actually, there are several buts): in that job, they didn't pay me for the last two months, and one month later, they still haven't paid. That is the money I was counting on to survive because I have no savings—my savings are stuck in an apartment I can't sell right now. The other "but" is that I wanted to see how my girlfriend would react to this kind of situation. She's very stressed, acting weird, and anxious, which makes me feel guilty. Now I want to get a job. The other problem is that I'm a full-time law student. My previous job was very flexible, but if I get a new job, I'll have to drop out of school for the nth time. It’s a fact; I have to. Hopefully, I can still pass some classes. Anyway, I'm frustrated today and wanted to write something. My future self will appreciate it, maybe even smile. What if my future self is still a jobless man? ****, now that I write it down I think my life is very caothic, I have a planned trip abroad in one month (tickets and accommodation is already paid), I'm in the process to get a loan, I'm in the process to sell my apartment, I have to host my son for two months and I don't know how, I bought a car with a 100% loan 4 months ago, and they gave me the car two days ago, I have to start paying soon with no dime. Fork!
