A letter from April 9th, 2018

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Beth, Just checking in on how life is going. I hope everything is a little better. You graduated not too long ago, I assume? :) Did you go anywhere yet? Hope so. I believe in you. I’m trying to get somewhere, and it’s somewhat working. I hope our mental health is better...and we have the same email. 😂 You’re 19 now, right? Dang. Crazy. You have another letter coming for you in I think about 7 years from now. Sent on the same date as today. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Are you still writing songs? I hope so. Mom just said she’s depressed. She wants dad’s happiness back. Did they get it? Are things better? I hope so...Maybe write them a song...I’ll try and do that right now. I’ll leave you be. Until the next letter from 15 year old, sick, you. Love you. Stay alive. |-/
