A letter to someone. Anyone.
I know I should probably make a shout out to J.K. for making such a tremendous influence on our generation as a whole, but I really am not that eloquent nor do I think I could put it any better than some of my fellow peers & tumblr!folk have, so bear with me as I write some rinky dink letter.
[warning: this is a letter, in which, I don't make sense and I refer to myself in nearly every "person" possible. And by person, I mean like, first person, second person.. for some reason my brain failed and I'm not sure how else to refer to that.]
Dear future self,
As much as it pains me to say, I know for a fact that you will never read this again or that when you do, all the memories and events that have occurred will only be that of fanciful memories of simpler times. You have the best friends anyone could ever ask for and I hope you still have them now. If you don't, then I'm sure you still do, because these individuals are not the type that will ever truly abandon you.
Right now, I just got done eating dinner with our parents and we talked about how we're going to see Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2 tomorrow morning. Of course, dad & I were messing around with mom and for some unknown reason, we were quizzing each other on the elements from the periodic table. You know how random our conversations can get when they are involved.
I hope you're happy, because right now, I think it's safe to say that I am extremely happy. I couldn't ask for better friends or for a better family. Sure, they can get on my nerves sometimes, because it's like our parents don't listen to a single word I say, but they mean well. At least, that's what I tell myself, because otherwise we might be parentless in the future and I really don't want that to happen.
I hope you never lose sight of what's important: family, friends, and ultimately, your happiness. I really hope you never settle for something just to be happy. You're much too good to do that to yourself. Even if you end up a cat lady or with some guy, I know you'll be happy no matter what. Sometimes when I'm talking with my friends, I'll space out and think of how lucky I am and how satisfied I am with life. I hope the stress/glamor of adulthood never belittles that. It's one of your greatest qualities and it's definitely the one that I love the most.
Even if you make mistakes and falter along the way, I'll never be upset with you. I won't judge you for what you do - I won't even say, "I told you so," or call you an idiot. Mostly because the past can never speak to the future, but you get what I'm trying to say. I just want you to always know that I'll be there as a reminder of how far you've come, of what you've overcome. You can look through all of these old entries and shake your head at my follies and wonder why the hell I acted like a loon. I want you to look back fondly though. I'm trying my best and moving forward with my own power that my loved ones fuel me with. If all of this work and pain amounts to a happy you, then I've done my job correctly. That's all I can ever ask for.
