A letter from Aug 17, 2022

Dear FutureMe, I’m writing this after crying because of the letter mom left us on move in day. I think everything is now hitting me —college, & being away from home and mostly mom. But I know it’s gonna take a little while for this college life to feel normal. Today was a bittersweet day, obviously because my parents left but I met a new girl named jazz and she’s super cool. Chelsey, Michelle, Jazz and I all made a group chat and plan to go to the picnic together tomorrow. I’m kind of nervous for next week since that’s when classes start, but I feel a little better because chels, Michelle, Jazz and I walked around to our buildings. But since it’ll be winter break when you read this, so I have some questions for our update!: 1. Who are our new friends?? 2. Did you meet any guy….? 3. How was this semester academically? 4. Did you get involved in lots of stuff? 5. How is the family? — This will a couple of months after moms last surgery so how is she? 6. What fun/crazy things did you do this semester???? 7. Did you get any tea from your friends at home?? Hahaha && 8. Last but not least, How are you? — mentally/physically (are we still working out…hopefully we have come so far!!). Wherever you are mentally/physically I hope that you are happy. I hope you know that you are so beyond loved by not only your family and friends but by me. I don’t know who we have become but I’m willing to bet but she is everything that we would’ve wanted to be. We have come so far from the girl sitting on the lounge couch at the end of our suite writing this. We have come so far since senior year of H.S. We have come so far since freshman year of H.S. Continue to be the sweet, amazing, caring, loving, understanding, passionate person we are. You have so many amazing opportunities ahead of you and so many people that will love you for you, just waiting to meet you. Don’t ever be afraid to chase after whatever you want because of the fear of failure, fear of being uncomfortable or the fear of how people will respond or the circumstances around you. Because we are in fact 1 of 8 billion people on a rock that’s flying through our universe— so shoot for the stars. I love you and I can’t wait to see who we’ve become. <3
