Epilogue

A letter from April 21st, 2020

Dear Future Me, Today one year ago you stepped away. Away from a toxic person, a toxic relationship and a behaviour with which you destroyed yourself. Please still be proud of yourself for doing that. The pain he brought you was gone so fast so suddenly you almost couldn't believe it after soaring for so long. But now all is good and all is great. I wonder where you are, what you are doin...

A letter from February 4th, 2021

to be honest i dont think it will work. i am going to ruin it. my affection is going to ruin it. i can already tell that it is taking its toll. i can already tell he doesnt like me as much as he did before. there is no more "you make me happy". there is no more "you are favorite person". there is no more "i adore you". i show too much affection way too early. my gut is telling me to pull aw...

1 Your Descent into Madness: August 2014-February 2016

Dear FutureMe, It's 5:31 in the morning. No, I'm not up early for school. I'm still awake because yesterday I smoked a lot of crystal meth. ...I didn't think that would be shocking to read after I typed it. After all, at this point in my life I'm an avid drug user. At 19 years old I have tried 20 different drugs (just added meth and oxycodone to the list just this month) and, I'm...
