A letter from March 30th, 2020

Dear Future Me, Its been a couple of days since the quarantine started, everything is basically closed except for "essential" business. It has been really boring, I can't really get out of the house to hang out with friends and family. I feel like every day, I'm just doing the exact same thing again and again. I started to miss school, even though I know that I really hate school. I miss the times when I walk in the hallway with my friends and talk with them to our classes. Especially lunchtime, it is just the best time that I always miss every single day. It is also great that I spend more time with my family, but I got bored with them quickly. I started to feel a little sick and tired because I've been in my house for a long time. I took a couple of walks around the neighborhood occasionally. I also rode my bike to Tawawa Park every other day, enjoying the fresh air and getting some vitamin D. Lately I have tried everything that might interest me. I tried to play my guitar and learn new songs, but that turned boring. Then I tried to make some music, but I don't have the one thing that is really important to making music... a keyboard or a synthesizer with a keyboard, so that didn't turn out great. I tried to learn a lot more about JavaScript and it turns out it worked out really well, as you probably know in the future. Every day I mostly do the same thing, learn more JavaScript, then play some games, get some exercise in, then just listen to music every day. By the time this quarantine is done, my music library would be full of music. I really hope that this quarantine will end as fast as possible. Today, the governor just announced that the quarantine would be extended to May 4th. I don't really know how this is going to work out, and I'm just sad for the seniors because they might not get their prom and/or graduation ceremony. I just hope I can get my permit as soon as I can because I do not want to wait a long time just to get my license after I'm 16 and a half. Make sure if you have a bad day in school because somebody hurt you in any way, just look at the pain and see what you did wrong or what started it and learn from it, so next time you can handle it better. You probably don't have your license yet because of this quarantine and that is also the reason I sent this letter to you at this time because you could've gotten your license by now. I hope you have a better situation in the future, maybe a couple more friends, or maybe your life companion, and I hope your conversational skills improved from me. Just remember that there are worse times than the bad days you are having. Cheers, Joshua Pelealu
