A letter from June 20th, 2018

Peaceful right?

June 20th. 2018 Dear Matthew. You're what? 19 Now? What the heck? That's crazy! I can't believe it's been so long! How've you been? 14 year old, Matthew has some things he'd like to ask. #1. How did high school go? At the end of summer, I'll be just starting. #2. What is your first part-time job? And if you haven't got one yet. Get on that! #3. Did you ever do YouTube? I highly doubt it. #4. What's it like in 2023? Doubble Digits! #5. ARE YOU DEAD?! That would suck. If you're not. Congrats! If you did. Did you at least do it in a cool fashion? #6. DID YOU LOOSE WEIGHT YET!? Please do that soon if you haven't yet. Well, that's all I wanna say. So if you wanna say something better do it now! And have a good rest of your life! PS. Maybe you should write another one?
