A letter from May 10, 2026

Dear FutureMe, Hey, so this is for 6 months from now, which will make it 10 days before your 18th birthday, so I guess this is perfect timing. I can only begin to hope that you have gotten your OCD diagnosis and are starting therapy for it, and I can only hope things have gotten a bit better, as I know things are hard and they are currently rather hard. I'm hoping you read this and think What was she on about and laugh because things are better. This will also mark 1 year almost of being openly lesbian. I know things are looking PRETTY dry in your love life now, but I know things can change! To be honest with you, I'm so worried about the future and my mind is engulfed in every existential question ever asked, and I'm dealing with intrusive thoughts almost constantly, so I am desperately hoping things got better. How are things with school? I hope my predicted grades in history are up from a U to at least a C. I really don't know what else to say; to be honest, I'm in an uncomfortable place in my life, and I have so much hope for the future I don't want to waste it or screw it up. How was the holiday to Spain? I know I am scared about it; it's a huge step outside my comfort zone, and I know OCD and travel aren't always the easiest, but I'm hoping the trip will prove to me that the world isn't that scary. Do you have a crush on another straight, skinny blonde girl? Because if you do, I swear you need to snap out of it. Unless they are lowkey *** and in love with you, but I highly doubt that. Did you have a glow up in these short 6 months or what? I guess I don't really have anything left to say that's sticking out at me right now other than the fact that its sunday im EXTREMELY bored, and have nothing else to do than email myself.
