Dear Kavya, 

It is currently 8:27 on May 8th, 2020 when I am writing this. I was supposed to turn this blog in a LONG time ago but you know how I am, always procrastinating. Actually, I hope you don’t know anymore because that is definitely something I want to change when I get to college. Anyways, how are you? And yes, I really want to know because you’re me so I’m not just asking out of courtesy. I hope this letter finds you well. This is a bit weird because I’m writing to myself, yet I have no idea what type of things I’ll be going through in 4 years when I read this back. 

Anyways, this might feel like a long time ago but I’m currently stuck in quarantine and have been for the past month and a half. I don’t really want to write about how I’m feeling being a senior and not getting to do all the senior activities because that is an emotional roller coaster that I would like to avoid for now. It might sound silly to you though, me worrying about prom and graduation while you’re out in the real world probably going through more important things. But you felt this way once so maybe you’ll understand. 

I have A LOT of questions for you and I want to know the answers right now but I know I can’t so I guess I’ll have the answer when I’m reading this. Wow that is so weird to say. Anyway, I guess the biggest thing is are you happy? And I don’t mean the superficial fake happiness that you are expert at expressing, I mean are you really happy? I know that you love traveling, tennis, watching movies, listening to music, hanging with friends. Have you gone to any of the places on our travel bucket list yet? I know that it’s hella expensive but maybe you have. I’ll see the pictures soon enough. 

Ohhh also what are the new trends. I mean are people still carrying around hydroflasks or is there a new water bottle brand in town. Please don’t ever follow those water bottle trends, you’ll end up buying a new one every year. Are you still in touch with your friends from high school? I hope you are still close with all of them and hang out whenever you come home. Wait! Do you have a boyfriend? Please tell me this isn’t some douche with a huge ego. Nevermind I trust your taste in men but if you aren’t married to Timothee Chalamet by now I’ll be a little disappointed in a couple years. 

This letter is getting a little long and very random so I guess I’ll just wrap up here. I don’t know what kind of situation or head space you’re in when you’re reading this. I know I have plans and goals for the future but life doesn’t care about those–It does whatever it wants. But no matter where you’re living, who you’re with and where you’re at in life, I just want you to know that I believe you will achieve all your goals and get as much out of life as you put in. Fingers crossed right. I know as you get older, things aren’t as fun as they used to be and you probably feel that, but I hope you never lose your inner child. You know, that side of you that is goofy, crazy, weird and hilarious, but not many people get to see. I hope it always stays with you a little. That being said please tell me you no longer randomly trip over your own two feet or bite your nails because those are habits that I would gladly get rid of. Anyways, I can’t wait to meet you, or I guess I should say be you, and I know you’re doing amazing things. 

Love, your biggest fan, 

Kavya <3
