The main message is:
"Dear me,
Wassup bruh. You finished that first year of college now and onto your second, get those summer classes done and get out early. Hopefully your better off now and that medicine helped. If you are going through anything right now just remember your past, you’ve done it before, you can do it again. I know things are confusing and can get unbearable, but hang in there. Don’t get too worked up over your future and just focus on the present. You’ll get somewhere one day and find happiness, so don’t worry.
Here’s a little bit about what’s going on right now in my life:
Today’s date is Wednesday, May 22, 2019. I’m in English 3 with Ms. Weddle writing this paper to you and thinking about something interesting you’d like to know or forget, since that happens a lot. Dad just got me a gaming computer and it came in 5 days ago. You’ve been doing nothing but playing Escape from Tarkov lately. I love that game. On Monday you went to the doctor and finally got medicine, hopefully it worked by now, yesterday you went to Student Orientation for Collin and it was miserable. I’ve got a dentist cleaning appointment today and a hepatitis shot on Friday, I don’t know why I’m telling you all of this, but I find it funny that I get to waste your time.
So I don’t really know what else to say, ooh I know I’m going to predict a few things for the future.
Here we go.
You still live with mom and dad, finished 2 summer classes and freshman year of college, you hated english and loved history, science, and math was okay. You still don’t know what you want to do because there are so many options. You’re still on the line finding work after college or just doing your own thing. Life has gotten more complicated, but you have a small circle of friends that make things better. Mom and dad got you a new car for getting to college early and doing so good in school, at least that’s what they say. You bought a sewing machine and started making some clothing, but no one has really picked up on it yet. You want to pursue a creative career and everyone around you says that you should go into computer science. Don’t. Do what makes you happy and don’t look back. Enjoy life, be happy, that’s all you ever wanted to do. Don’t get stuck in a cycle, be lenient and creative. Live life.
If you feel down and like no one believes in you, it’s okay. It’s not the first time, just think of how surprised everyone will be when this works out for you. The fact that you get to say, “I told you so.” Focus on your craft and don’t worry about anyone else, be yourself, express yourself. People will not like you. People will NOT like you, but you do and that’s what matters. Who cares what other people think. They will see it as weird, ugly, dumb, hideous, gross, whatever it is. Its. all. fine. You do you.
Keep moving. Keep doing you and push for happiness. It’ll all be alright in the end no matter what’s happening right now. Good Luck out there my friend."
