AHHHH, while unpacking I found a letter I had to write to myself in high school that one of my teachers mailed back around the time her students would graduate from college.
An excerpt:
May 9, 2008
You better encompass all of these aspects and experiences, Laurie, because if you do not surely you are crying by now. I say cry because committing suicide is messier—but if you do, at least make it a really artsy snuff film. That would be interesting for ten minutes!
Also, I signed it “Yours truly (literally)”
17yo me, so reassuring, so self-effacing.
