A letter from December 6th, 2018

Time Travelled — 6 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, how has it been old pal? I totally forgot about this website until a got an email from your 8th grade self literally today. It's legit crazy man! Anyways, how are you? Congrats on completing this terrible sophomore year bro, you made it and you did it like the beast you are. Keep on going and heading in the right direction, you're a special person. What other Sri Lankan-Germany-Texas-Virginia kid will come again!? I hope the final exams were not that bad and I hope you are still happy that school has ended, although it isn't like freshman year where you were going to leave the US for Sri Lanka for a month. Enough of the flattery... let's see. It's December 6, 2018, and I just came back from track. You still remember that stupid Aidan kid? Yup, he tried to hate on you twice--no one gave an absolute crap about anything he said, including me. Haters lol, that's how you deal with them--in style. Is he still hating on you or is he trying his other tactic of being your friend so it can make him feel better about himself? That's what he did in 9th grade looool. I miss that year so **** much. Other than track, I failed my Alg II test and I'm back to a C in the class--I'm getting my butt beat. Also, midterms are coming up next week. I'm resting here tonight so that I can be energetic and ready for the studying I will be doing this weekend (and I'll hopefully be going to Greenwood this weekend with Bashar and the rest of the Byrd Kids). For future plans: Are you going to Godwin? I hope you will be going man. It'd be exciting... but if not, then oh well... Stick in there for another 2 years bro! You'll make it outta there. Anyways, that's all I can think about. Hope everything is well about this time.

Epilogue

over 2 years later

I just now realized that this letter was public. This week of March 2022 is pretty relaxed in terms of work, so I'll respond here just for the lols.

Looking...
