A letter from February 8th, 2018

Dear me, Last night, I dreamed that I was able to talk to my 9-year-old self. In this dream, I told myself to stay away from the website that introduced me to the online world and ultimately damaged my mental health in many ways. However, I ask myself, if I indeed had the opportunity to talk to my younger self, would I really want to take the chance of altering my life to that extent? Though I have done some regrettable things and have been through a lot of sh*t, my history has made me who I am today. Today I sit in English class, at the school that I left my old school for. I am so much happier. I have two people that I consider among my closest friends, and I have only known them for two weeks. Next year, I will again start anew. I hope that by the time I read this letter: - I am in a school that I love - That I have friends that support me - That I still love my siblings more than anyone else - That I am able to trust in my parents - That I have built relationships with my older cousins - That I have found the motivation to do things that I enjoy - That I feel successful (to some extent) And, most importantly: - That I know who I am Thank you for taking the time for reading this, future me. I believe in you. Love, Me
