A letter from June 20th, 2018

Peaceful right?

June 20th. 2018 Dear Matthew. You're what? 19 Now? What the heck? That's crazy! I can't believe it's been so long! How've you been? 14 year old, Matthew has some things he'd like to ask. #1. How did high school go? At the end of summer, I'll be just starting. #2. What is your first part-time job? And if you haven't got one yet. Get on that! #3. Did you ever do YouTube? I highly doubt it. #4. What's it like in 2023? Doubble Digits! #5. ARE YOU DEAD?! That would suck. If you're not. Congrats! If you did. Did you at least do it in a cool fashion? #6. DID YOU LOOSE WEIGHT YET!? Please do that soon if you haven't yet. Well, that's all I wanna say. So if you wanna say something better do it now! And have a good rest of your life! PS. Maybe you should write another one?

Dear PastMe,

Yes, you're 19. And things are kinda just the same as they've always been. You're still depressed, still feeling aimless at life. Sad? Maybe, but who knows, there's...
