A letter from Apr 25th, 2021

Hey you, It's a random day in 2021 and you've been reading people's responses to their FutureMe letters. Of course, you wanted to do the same thing. Unfortunately, the last letter your wrote is due to be delivered when you're 30. So you decided to write this letter now and receive it a year later in order to have something to respond to LOL. Let's do a check in. Right now, you're in quarantine and your mental health has hit the ****. You think you could possibly be depressed, so, are you? If not, great! If yes, I'm sure you're handling it like a champ. You have always been one to accept life as it is and learn to deal with the hard things without breaking down. Second thing, you feel like you might be losing your best friend (it's very subtle but it is a fear), so, what happened there? Your 20 year-old self can't imagine you giving up on that bond so I hope you did something to maintain it as a 21 year-old. Thirdly, you've been thinking about jobs and it's been hard. I'm not going to ask if you have one now, I'm going to ask if in the time between writing this letter and receiving it if you've managed to snag one (whether you got fired or not) because that is still an accomplishment. If you have not, that's okay, keep trying. I believe in you. Lastly, are you still single? I wouldn't be surprised if you are considering going into lockdown for over a year and you possibly still being in lockdown now so that's okay. I'm not sure about your 21 year-old self but your 20 year-old self hates being single and finds it sad. It's something that really bothers younger you so I hope you've either learned how to enjoy being single or have gotten with someone :) Things are hard now. Honestly, things have always been hard, but things are especially hard now, so I hope things are better when you read this. I love you, older me! No matter where you are in life, no matter what you're doing. Love, 20 year-old Marts x
