A letter from March 31st, 2020

Dear FutureMe, The corona virus was a big deal back then. All over the news, there were new cases almost every day. It got so bad to the point where the state had to close your school. Only until the pandemic calmed down for a bit. After you heard that, you thought “No school for two weeks, awesome. Now I can relax more.” But little did you know, you still had to do schoolwork. But you didn't mind the idea of working at home. At least you got to relax and do your school work. That also means you got to spend more time with your mother. Unfortunately because of this whole virus situation, she was laid off. But luckily Roan, your stepfather, can work at home, so at least we can keep the lights on in the house. The first few days went….ok. Honestly I or, you never wanted to be in school more in your life than now. You might have even almost lost it with yourself because you were in the same spot everyday. It's funny that, now that you were about to go quarantine, you really wanted to go outside. But you were stuck at home writing this letter to yourself. Being stuck inside was fun and all but, what if you needed to go out and get simple things you need, like food or shampoo. Mom and Roan were debating on whether to go out and get some from the store. She almost lost it when she mentioned getting nail polish. Was nail polish really that important to her while there was a virus ******* people out there? For all you knew, we could have been in a walking dead situation the next day. By the way, were there new episodes for the walking dead and is it still a thing? Anyways we had to be careful about how much stuff we use in one day. Me or, you? You made two sandwiches every morning. I mean what could you have done? You were a growing boy. Speaking of growing, am I taller, or am I still the same height, did my hair get longer, are you a good money making mechanic, did you start working out? Remember girls like tall guys with long hair, work out, and make good money. But knowing me now, I feel like you still might be the shy kid back in high school. But it's alright some girls like shy guys. Just don't be too shy, I don't want to be alone forever. And i'm talking past tense here. On a serious note though . I know that I can't tell the future, but I feel like certain things can be permanently changed. Maybe the simple things, like trying family gatherings. I think that this pandemic will have affected lives so much that people don't want to be near each other. Maybe schools will stick to online learning just to not risk getting the children sick. But whatever happens in the future, I hope that people can take this as a lesson to be more careful and be aware of their surroundings. But only time will tell. Nitro Signing Off.
