A letter from Apr 21, 2023

Dear FutureMe, I'm writing this from my desk in Art. I'm leaving school in literally three hours. I simply can't believe it. I can't process it. Why do I have to leave all this behind? Why do I have to grow up? I am so devastated and my heart aches. I'm not ready. How am I supposed to continue after leaving all my friends behind? I just wish I could stay with them forever. I'm the only one in class today. I am feeling their absence already. The silence is disturbing without my friends laughter to fill it. I will try to enjoy our last moments. I want to remember all the good times. It hurts my heart to leave everything behind but I cannot stop the passage of time.
