Dear Future Me
Dr Donovan told me to write you a letter on all of my hopes and dreams. What I hope your life will be like; what you are aiming for. Dr Donovan said that it will be interesting to see how much I change in the future, to see if I want the same things.
First of all I just want to be happy. I want to be over this; I want to be able to do things that other people can do. I want to be able to go more than a few days without having to cut. I hate how alone I feel, I hate how much it hurts. So I hope that goes away. I hope the therapy works and I hope you're happy.
Next I want you to have friends, not like I had before, but real friends. Ones that won't care about my past. Ones that'll have your back no matter what. I know Hunter will always be by your side- its impossible to get rid of. And Etienne is fast becoming my best friend. But I hope there will be more. I hope you have an so many friends you're never alone.
I hope you get good grades in school. I know I've always been ok but I'm going to try harder. I'm going to work hard to get the very best results possible. I want to be a Doctor. A paediatric surgeon if I can. I want to help children like the doctors at the hospital helped me. I want to save lives. I know it'll be hard work but I know if I put my mind to it I can do it. I hope you still have this dream, I hope you are closer to achieving it than am right now.
I hope you have a boyfriend, someone who loves you as much as you deserve. Someone who loves you with all their heart like you will love him. It's too soon for me right now, but I want you to have someone who will care about you. Who won't care that you're damaged. I hope you find that special someone.
I want you to be happy, and deep down I know you will be.
