Dear future me,Heyyyy bitch. Whatās up? Just wanted to pop in and say a few corny words of encouragement, which Iām sure youāll want/need to hear at some point. For starters, I love you, even though Iām your biggest critic. We need to be easier on ourselves, because we have so many amazing qualities that others can see. Iām sure youāre doing fine, even though youāre worrying that youāre not. I know that now we wake up every morning wondering why life has been this way for us. I know youāre hurting and not as happy as you used to be. I know you think that your destiny is to be miserable, and to suffer at the happiness of others. I know weāre asking why we had to go through what weāve gone through so young. The pain weāve suffered, the loneliness, and feeling as though weāre some hollow shell. Almost like our youth has been sucked out of us; like weāve been smashed head first into adulthood at the mere age of 20. But Iām sure by now you are kicking ass and taking names. I canāt guarantee our future, but I sure hope itās better than life now. I truly hope the fight is worth it in the end. I hope you and I will be proud of me now and the work Iām putting in for you in the future. And most of all, I hope weāre happy. I just want us to be happy again. I know itās hard, and weāve been cynical lately. I know Iāve been hardcore missing mom lately, and itās been hurting our heart. Hopefully youāre better at keeping yourself in high spirits than me. Because on the outside Iām smiling, but some days make me feel like all of the energy is being sucked out of me. Like, everyone my age has so many more opportunities than myself. They have parents that love and take care of them. I have myself to take care of now, and myself to love. It would just be nice to have someone to lean on for once. But, weāre going to be okay. Weāre getting the hard shit out of the way now, so hopefully weāll be above the curve. What Iām trying to say is, I hope something works out for us. Weāve been through a lot, and Iām sure youāll go through much more than me now. But weāre in this together, girl. I love you so much, and Iām so proud of where weāve come, and where weāre going to go. We deserve some happiness, so letās fucking get it, okay? You and me. And you better be eating healthy and going to the gym you whore btw! Iāve got your back, and I always will. I hope I donāt disappoint you. Love you very much. Weāre the best. Stay strong and keep chugging along. <3 Ā - Me/You 2/24/16
