A letter from June 17th, 2020

Dear Future Ariana, It is your past self from 2020, we are still in the middle of the pandemic and currently dealing with the BLM movement. Did the protesters get what they wanted? or did the situation vanish? Im also in the middle of being upset about not being able to play soccer and hoping to god I become a sucessful animator or artist. Are you still trying to pursue that dream? I hope you are, keep working hard even if you feel like your stuck. Did u get a good boyfriend? if yes, are you still together? Also, did you ever join soccer again after leaving the lake grove team? I hope you did that too, I regret the day I quit everyday since then. If you did join back did you get a scholarship for it? OMG also what happened with lauren? did she become successful in high school? I doubt she did but im still curious. What about our other friends? like adrienne porti, isabella goncalves, kaylee leisen, jenna guerrier, ryan gampel, greta frankonis, bella bonilla, matthew fortner, kevin handleson, taylor carey, or james fiumano i know james wasn't our friend but what happened to him? I hate him right now still. what tragedies have we gone through and how is ma, pa and jalyn? did me and jalyn ever get along in the future. one last thing before I go, just know whatever is going on right now it is going to be okay, I know im just a young and dumb kid right now but I know that you are smart caring and amazing, don't walk with your head down, get up figure yourself out, deal with it and get on with our life, I don't want you to mess this up for us haha, be happy, smile right now. NOW LIKE RIGHT THIS SECOND PEASANT. Now get up and do something!!!! much love and support, June 17, 2020 Ariana Lynn Salinas
