To Be Read the Day I Graduate

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Kat, Hey lil gremlin, you're graduating high school! Are you excited? You looked at your friends last year and were sad they were graduating, like they'd be leaving you behind, but you're almost there! I need you to know that we're loved right now. There is someone now that you're dating. Are you still with him? If you are, that's amazing, that's over six months! If not.. because right now, we're skeptical. Too many have left, too many have hurt us, if not, how did you deal? We said right now that 'when he leaves it would **** everything about us but our physical body.' If he's gone, how did you keep going? Are you excited for college? Where did you end up getting accepted to? Are you still going to cut your hair? Something (dysphoria) has been making us want to cut our hair, and dye it again (we miss our blue hair) but we can't til after graduation. We've been struggling with names and things lately, I know Kat and Toby have been contenders, but I hope you're not struggling as bad anymore. Just remember, future me, we, (all past versions of me, and by extension, you) we love you.

Hey, lil gremlin me.

We graduated! I was so excited and so happy! That person we were dating, based on the timeline, I think that was Mason. It didn't last...
