A letter from June 28th, 2016

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I picked a date at random, but at least a few years in the future, so you might not remember writing this. Whatever is going on, whatever you've done, or haven't done, or are trying to do- whatever has happened to you, to those you love, to those who loved you- however you feel, please don't forget that you are a good and decent human being and you are worthy of love. Please take care of yourself, a 25-year-old, hopeful, bright-eyed and happily married research assistant.

Dear PastMe,

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I can still remember most things....

Aygluve.
