for you from you

Dear FutureMe, Get your act together. No, really, I have no idea what shape you're in today, but I hope with all my being that I have accomplished the following: stop questioning yourself start questioning everything else declared a major stop obsessing about a plan create art create literature take pictures giggle make out with a cute boy, or two, or three make friends (good, long, laugh so much it hurts, stay up all night talking, give high fives and listen to aretha friends) take drives figure all the charlie shit out stop worrying with money be athletic be beautiful (not just physically) learn to forgive change the world If some of this (or most of it) has not happened this year, it's okay. take deep cleansing breaths, look up at the ceiling and count to ten. Re-read the list and see if it still matters. Remember that you are dust...you're going to die. Then start over and make things better. You can do so many things. Much love for an incredible summer and an amazing and re-inventing new year. Ann marie (you)
