Dear FutureMe,
Hi cadence. You finally turned the big 18 this year. I hope you made it. Right now life is so hard and so difficult. But I hope everything worked out. you’re almost done with your senior year. I wonder how that must feel.
What are your plans after high school? Did you follow the military route or did you end up going to college? What are you going to do in your life? are you still doing photography? are you in a relationship?
I wonder if you still remember being 16 years old and having no hope in life. I really hope that changed and I really hope you see how truly amazing you are. It’s probably such a stressful time, but you’re going to do such amazing things. you have your whole life ahead of you. I wonder what you look like. How was your hair? Did you follow through with your weight loss? Do you have a job?
I just hope everything truly worked out. Thank you for continuing to try.
With love,
your 16 year old self.
