Time Travelled — 6 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Right now, things ain't really going on your way. It's an entire month and still going that the people here in this god-forsaken household has been tormenting you with hurtful words they could ever think about all because you weren't doing anything except on trying to finish the school works that has been a pain in the neck for 3 mos already. You've cried every night, your pillows soaked in tears. No one asked how you're feeling because all they know is you'll shrug it off and be fine the next morning. Just like the way you always do. Just like the way of a pretender. But you, you will change. And you may or may not notice it now, but you have changed. You left a few people on your way to change because that's how it's supposed to be. Except that getting rid of people (especially your stressors, and sources of negativity) in order to grow more, you left people behind for the better. And im not finna explain everything to you because you're smart enough to figure out why you left people behind. Aside from that, I wanna know how you've been doing lately. Have you made friends? Have you moved in to your mum's place safely? Have you met up with sparkle and f? What about your friends in the province? Still in-touch with them? Tell me about your new school! Have you even enrolled already? Because, rn you're still struggling with your enrolment cus of this ******* reqs. and late grad. ceremonies. How's your course? Are you happy? Tell me how did your Christmas Break went. Do you even have one? How's your first semester so far? Didn't end yet? I see. Hey, I'm graduating this Aug. 4, 2023 With Honors. You might wanna congratulate me 🙈🙈 I have a really long way to go. College sounds like a real challenge. Well, if future me reads this message 6 months from now then that means you survived. Even if you're just clinging into the end, you have still survived. And you will keep surviving. I am really rooting for your success. You chose this path, you and I. You're safe to say you have someone with in this journey—me. I love you, keep going strong. Maya, Mum and I appreciate your efforts. We see you. I hope you've grown fit and gorgeous, remember to always find time for your skincare and self care alright? Go for our future, RN.
