Time Travelled — about 7 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I guess I just need to vent. Today has felt weirder than usual. I've lost my drive to do anything. I know that I have work to get done, work I want to get done, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I started crying today, just out of the blue. And you know that I don't just start crying. These past few weeks I've felt strange. Never truly happy, but never sad. Just kinda numb. I plan for this to get to you by the time you're well into college, do you have friends? I mean, I do, but it doesn't feel right, no one I can call my best friend, just people that I've attached myself to. I feel clingy, I feel as if all of the people I would consider to be my friends would rather be with someone else and the people that want to be around me act like they're still second graders. I know, the hard life of a Seventh-grader. Anyway, I gotta go now. Have to get some real work done. -Sincerely Me
