A letter from Sep 25, 2024

Time Travelled — 12 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, So... ...I know I keep writing these, but suck it up, okay? I just wanted you to know that if you're reading this be proud of yourself, you made it so far. Same goes to everyone one else reading this, since I'll set it to public. So, I don't know why I'm writing this, I guess I'm just writing it. What are you doing right now? Yes, right now? SAY IT I DARE YOU! (Totally not trying to embarrass you) So, uhh. How's life? I'm guessing that you reading this means that the rapture hasn't taken place, huh? Sad. Sooooooooo. I dunno what to ask. How's Youth group? Do we ever get ungrounded? How's it going with your writing? (Did we finish the new book abt Jess and Leo? Coz we just started it on 18/09/2024. Not sure where it's going or if I'll give up. Also, have we found the courage to finish writing DemonMyst? I know it's hard to bring ourselves to it when Sino isn't around to help us. Maybe she has a phone by now? Don't **** me for the spelling of that book, lol. Oh yeah, The Henry's are coming back to Durban this week, if all goes to plan. Which might be a tad bit awkward considering what just happened lately. But I'm super excited to see Abby! P.S; I don't wanna make you sad, but is Brownie still alive? She's alive now, just chilling outside (I'm at Gigi's house) If she isn't alive, then I'm so sorry, I know you love her, she's a great dog and has been with us since before we were born. But I do know this, God is always there for you okay? How's Mum? Is she still in the same situation? Maybe things will change. Also, how's it feel to be 16? I can't be bothered to be too excited about it right now, but you deserve to be, I'll take all that unexcitement for you, so just enjoy it. And how's Riley? Have you two managed to stay friends? 'Cause right now it hurts a bit, but anyhow, don't dwell on it, ey? Remember, learn from the past, and move forward. You can't drive always staring in the rear view. Has the government made any improvements? Like they SAID they would??? There's an owl hooting outside, bro. And how about the worship team at Youth, how's that going? Have you led anything yet? Alone? Coz next month (October) we'll be leading Firm Foundation (He won't). Don't get me wrong, I have practiced, but ****, that song is confusing, lol. Hope I do well. Plus the others will be in America for the month (FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON!) Also, are we still on the Lion Diet? If so, how's that going? Do we have the body of our dreams? If not we'll just have to be cremated and put into an hourglass. OH! BY THE WAY! Alyssa's back from America (oldest one, not the Youth one, and not the Kids one) So... ...have we joined any sports or anything interesting? ALSO! WE NEED A MERMAID SYLICONE TAIL !!! For what? I don't know. We just need it. I'm sure the comments will agree. Also, have we moved houses again/yet? I don't really like moving to be honest. I prefer stability, but I guess it's always cool in a way. Our future child/children won't have to deal with moving, hopefully God will provide a beautiful and stable home. Anyways, so how's school? Afrikaans getting any better? How's our Duolingo streak? THAT BIRD WILL ****** US IF WE LOOSE IT AGAIN! Also today marks 173 days. Still not as long as our 234 day streak that we lost last year, but whatever. HA! Speak of the devil. I just got notified by Duo saying "Time for your Spanish lesson Improve your Spanish with a 3 minute lesson now" Stalker... And how's Ghost doing? Does she still get random zoomies and try to **** your foot? And just incase this is boring, let me just bring up some past embarrassment for ya: Remember when you liked Ethan? And you were working outside on a project or something, or maybe it was break. But then you saw him coming and ran to hide in the girls bathroom. But then you slipped and fell? And then you scrambled up and ran inside hoping he didn't see that? But he actually did see it? Okay I'll shut up now. lmao. So, yeah, does J still like you? If so I feel sorry for him. I made it a clear no, but whatever. Hope he finds someone amazing. (Someone ELSE amazing) Also, I'm proud of you, okay? You made it. So don't forget how strong you are. (OH IT'S 12:21) Yeah, I think we needa take an ADHD and Autism test girlie. LOL, jk. 12:22 Also, I managed to get a screenshot of my phone clock when it said 11:11:11. Has that phone died yet? Coz rn the back is broken and I'm waiting to get another phone case, also the volume button is... ...disabled. Soooooooo, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. HI. Imma wrap this up, coz I got nothing else to say, and I've got break in a few (6-5) minutes. So, as always, I love you, stay safe, and be yourself. Lots of love; A memory from the past. <3

Dear Me, a letter, to the girl I used to be:

This was thoroughly enjoyable to read :). Isn't it amazing that we can seemingly time travel back and talk to our younger selves? My first FutureMe was in 2012 and it's always the best hour spent of my year. Consider saving these while they are available - the more time passes, the more valuable they become.

Great reflection. I hope all is well.

@Brandonraywallace: Yes, I agree, also, thank you for the idea, I will save them, maybe in a Google document? Thanks. It's crazy how time changes things, and the part about my dog healed something that needed healing, at least a little bit. Thank you<3
