A letter from Apr 30, 2023

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, after reading our last letter i feel bad. we were so nice and i'm glad we are ok. Sadly, i still don't have a boyfriend but i hope you do. We haven't moved again yet... our family is ok and I hope it stays that way. I hope you're doing well. I hope the AP classes aren't too hard and if they are sorry I signed you up for them. Work hard and Make a lot of money. Money matters a lot but don't let it stop you from making friends, be confident and outspoken. Just because it will make people mad shouldn't stop you from doing it. I hope we are super popular and smart. go to lots of parties but don't get ******. enjoy been a teenager it flies by so fast and it doesn't last long. Can't believe we are almost 17 make the most of it and have an awesome birthday party. Most of all i hope and pray that your mental health is ok. I pray that we have figured out who we are and what we like. have an awesome day and don't forget to write another letter. we'll look back and laugh at the "stupid" things we wanted. Have a great day and just be happy for me please.

Dear Ore, know you are smart and beautiful, you don't need a boyfriend to be happy. Isn't it crazy?...
