A letter from Jun 17, 2022

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Happy 19th birthday! I sent you a letter on our 18th but since that’s only 2 months away I figured not much would actually change. But YOU must be different. It’s fine if you aren’t, but I’m kind of hoping things in our life have changed a little bit. Do we have a job? Are we happy there or is everything terrible? College. How is it? Where are we going? Tell me about it! And home. Did we ever move out and find our own home, or did we become happy where we are? I’m really hoping my future holds something truly worthwhile, because where I am now isn’t where I want to be. I hope things are okay for you. There is so much I could say here about how I feel now but, you already know all those things, don’t you? Anyway, happy birthday. I hope you can tell me about it someday. Or rather, I hope I can look back on this moment, and know I’d be happy about it. Best wishes, Your past self.

Dear Past Me,
I know you say you’d be happy about where I am now, regardless of where it is, but I wonder if that’s really true.
I wish there...
