Ahem.
It’s finally winter since it’s June. The morning rises, but the fog overshadows the sunlight that makes the skies so clear. It’s getting cold, really cold.
I sip my hot chocolate and wear my school outfit, with my scarf snuggly fit on my neck like a suit tie. Well, I don’t really know how to tie a tie.
Then, my Notes app opens. A string of text presents me with a question, a question I wrote during a moment yesterday.
“If you could say anything to your future self, what would you say?”
I look at it, sitting down on my chair.
Then I eagerly type, clicking virtual keys until it makes a coherent sentence and consistent lines of words.
“Dear future me, yes it’s another letter.
I don’t get the obsession with writing these pointless letters, but here goes nothing I guess.
Maybe I’ll regret saying that in the future.
I don’t know when or if I’ll read this, but hi. Hi, future David. How is mum doing? Is dad doing well too?
I’ve always thought we were a noisy family, but we’re really calm since we’re basically just like in our isolated boxes.
I always hated talking about family, it just never clicked with me. My mum and dad are good people in their own ways, but I never had to say anything about my family that was special. After all, I’m just an only child.
I love my mum very much, and I’m starting to love my dad more in my own way. Since I’m an only child, I always had the luxury of working hard but also getting what I want as long as I do my best and focus on my studies. Fun, isn’t it?
However, I always thought having a sibling was nice as well. Having someone be with you your whole life, supporting you, and all that. Well, maybe not all siblings. Sometimes, siblings can be annoying too from what I heard.
My family, even if I don’t talk about it much and I “don’t care” about it much, I really do realise that no matter what happens, even if the world falls apart, your family will be with you and you will be with your family. After all, you’re blood-tied, right?
Anyway, I hope our family’s still doing well. Look after them, alright? Just, don’t make it feel like an obligation … do it because you love them.”
After that, I sit down realising that I might be late for school, which should never happen.
Welp, see you later, too-da-loo!
