A letter from May 19th, 2021

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I am sending this a year into the future so you should probably be graduating high school right about now or pretty soon. Finally. I have looked forward to this day ever since we broke up. A fresh start somewhere where people don't know anything about you or where you come from. Not that I am ashamed of myself or where I come from, but just sometimes you need a restart. College will be my restart. High school has genuinely been the best 3 years of my life. I am proud to wear this school across my chest and ready for one last ride. Coming back to in-person learning was the best decision for my mental health and overall. Being with my friends here and seeing people that I can't see at home has been so nice. I do miss taking tests online though ;) A lot can change in a year. I really hope you got accepted into IU. This is your last summer before college. How are we already there? It seems like yesterday I was walking into kindergarten with my Hannah Montana backpack and playing with the toy kitchen. It hurts. I miss that innocence sometimes. I cannot wait to teach kids with that same innocence. Now by the time you receive this, it will have been a little over two years. Two years. That is crazy. I hope you are much happier now than ever. And weirdly enough, I hope he is happy too. College!! Summer!!! We have been looking forward to this since probably freshman yearrrr. I do have some questions that I am sure you will be happy to answer: 1. Did you have to wear masks at school? Everything back to normal? 2. Are you attending IU in the fall? Go Hoosiers! 3. How did volleyball and basketball season go? Hope we acquired that state ring. 4. Do you ever think about him anymore? How are things? 5. Any boys in your life??????? SO curious to find out 6. Do you regret any part of high school? 7. Did you get any scholarship money? 8. How was summer? Are you excited for this upcoming summer? 9. Do you still live in the same house? 10. How is the family? How is Cooper? 11. Are you happy? It has been really nice writing this. Writing can heal a lot so I hope you still journal. See you in a year.

Oh, the memories that this letter holds. Senior year was possibly one of the best years of my life. I made so many memories, cried a little too much, laughed...
