A letter from June 2nd, 2018

 Dear FutureMe,

You can't please everyone. Right now, it feels like everyone is talking behind your back and you constantly ask yourself "Why the hell would people take so much time spending negativity all around me?" Me? I am nobody. No one is supposed to waste time because of me. And then you realize that some people have boring lives that all they can find joy in is condescendingly talk about other people just to make themselves a little bit "higher". I get this.

You are not supposed to please everyone to like you because you can not please everyone. These individuals do not just hate you. They hate everyone else. Which means they hate even those whom they talk with about the people they hate. So, even though you meet them almost every day (and who knows until when - probably when you decide to leave), even though they make you feel different, even though they cut you when you are talking which is making you feel like you are talking nonsense, even though you listen to all their self-centered stories (and you pretend to listen but you are actually thinking about your next hiking journey in a few months), do not be afraid to feel odd. It is not your problem. You never liked attention anyways. So just pretend listen but listen to your own thoughts.

You are great and you are not supposed to be just like them.

Me @27

Sent 1 year to the future from Jun 2nd, 2018 to Jun 2nd, 2019
