Happy Birthday, Loser.

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, You'll be 16 when you get this, but you'll be in school when you respond, so a little past the summer (unless you somehow remember, and respond when you get it: LIKE A LOSER) Junior year! You're gonna be a senior next year, get your **** in gear! (Is that a saying?) Alright, let's cut to the chase. Sum up your summer in ONE WORD. Okay, now write me a boring and lengthy paragraph, you overachiever! How's Grey? Are you guys still together? I really hope so! You like her a lot now, I hope it's the same in the future. If not, are we still on good terms? I need all the juicy details, this is for my pleasure, not your sanity! Right now your biggest things are the variety show. You're about to perform letters in competition, you need to read through that script, loser. You didn't make KCDA, but hopefully, the new director lets you try out again next year. DD in show choir, how is it? Tell me about Allen leading theatre, is it what your mom thought it would be? Are you out to your family yet, if so, how'd they take it? If not, do you have plans or ideas on how to come out? On a scale of 1/10 how happy are you? If it's anything below a 3, why? Is this a longterm thing, or did we just catch you at the wrong time? How many TikTok followers do you have, are you famous yet? No? ****. We try soo hard. What's the biggest fandom you're in? Is it something stupid and obscure (like always)? Did you get a Garfield phone (or anything new Garfield)? Was your sweet 16 as sweet as you wanted it to be? OKAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. P.S. Tell Grey you love her for us<333 *unless you broke up, but it's only a few months, I'm SURE you'll last.

Dear PastMe,

I am 17 when I remembered this, and on spring break. It's been almost two years since I wrote this. I didn't remember in the school year last...
