A letter from April 20th, 2020

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, So apparently, I'm attending high school in Sydney. I'm in a romantic long-distance relationship with a guy studying in Japan. He is nice and he loves me (I guess). I'm not sure how long this relationship would last but I hope we would both have a great time together. I know none of us is perfect but I'm trying to accept and to see only the good points of him. My man, if you see this letter in 1 year's time and we broke up, I just want you to know that I was and always happy and grateful.

Dear Em,

Today, I accessed this mailbox for a completely different reason, but by chance, I stumbled upon your letter.

First of all, how have you been? Have you returned...
