A letter from June 23rd, 2016

Dear FutureMe, Hi Miranda! Happy Birthday! I'm guessing you're 21 now. I'm 12. I wanted to know if you remembered Jessie, the girl we had a crush on in year 7. Or Mrs Hunn-Smith, the creative writing teacher. Do you still have Dances With Shadows? Are you still bi? Are you in a relationship? Do you still know Pip, Gracie, Viv, Abbie and Anoushka? Or Millie, Olivia, Ava and Daisy? Have you written a book? Are you planning on writing one? I wonder if you still remember our pen name- Miranda Kinzett. I also wanted to ask you to read The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland again. Do you remember how much we loved it? When I cried so much because I wanted to go to Fairyland? And Rebel of The Sands, read that too. Has the whole trilogy been published yet? What happened to Jin and Amani? I hope you're happy, and that you're doing what you want to do. If you're not, stop doing it. You only have one life! It feels weird giving myself advice. I hope you still use this e-mail address. I hope everything went well, and continues to. If you're reading this, go to futureme.org and write us a letter for when we're older. Thank you and lots and lots of encouragement, Miranda xxx
