A letter from November 12th, 2020

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Hey. It's you from 2020. I know. 2020 has been an interesting year. We're going through a hard time right now. Our great grandma recently passed away, our hamster died, we sold the boat, we're moving, covid is going on, yeah. It's been rough. But I'm hoping by the time we get this letter back, things are better and we are happy. When you get this letter, you will be 21 years old. Just last night I was wondering how our life would turn out. Have we gone to college? Do we like the both of the new houses, or only one? How any pets have we been through? Have we met anyone? There are so many things I stress about and wonder about the future. But I'm sure God has it in His hands and He has worked it out. I hope we are living well. Maybe we already have a job. I wonder what it will be first? Are we still into baking, and forensics, and acting? I want you to look back on 2020 and to remember everything that happened. It's been an emotional year, with theatre getting canceled and everything else, but I'm sure we handled everything just fine. You are so strong and you can do anything. I'm sure you are so pretty and you don't need to worry about finding someone. If you are still having trouble making friends or your anxiety has gotten worse, I hope we've gotten help for it. I know you can make it out of anything. If we are still having trouble talking to people, don't be! Work on trusting in God and holding everything He says close to your heart. I hope we have become more open with our emotions and we've learned that they are not to be embarrassed by, because I still am. Lol. Well... that'a all I have, so I guess this is a goodbye. Love, Your Past Self

Hey Past Self,

Life is better in some aspects, some are worse. I don't remember being this weighed down in 2020, so I don't know if that's my bad memory...
