Dear future me

My dearly beloved,

First of all, YOUR MOM IS AWESOME. Second of all, behave yourself. I don't need that sass, sir. I love you so much. I just hope that your life, especially through your teenage years, is easier than it was for me. I was very depressed when I started sixth grade. I eventually got out of it about a year and a half after I met your dad. Side note, don't talk back to us, we will kick your ass. You remember Aunt Nadia? When she was young, grandma and grandpa got divorced. She really struggled with it. I SWEAR IF YOU EVER ACT LIKE YOUR AUNT DID, YOU WILL NOT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. But seriously, she had a horrible tude all the time and it gave me serious anxiety. I am so glad that she and I got our stuff worked out before you were born. You would not have been seeing much of your aunt if we hadn't. Most of all, I want you to understand that I love you and I want to give the world to you. I am sure times will be tough and if I get upset and cry, please don't cry with me like I did to my mom. It makes it harder when you hear your own child cry because you are sad. For real though, Harambe is life. He was a god in my day child. I've made a list of rules for the house.

1. Pick up after yourself
2. Please don't fight with me...
3. Know that I love you unconditionally
4. Try not to be as sad as Mama
5. Remember that you are perfect to me
6. Stay strong
7. Ask for help when you need it
8. Don't be afraid to talk to me. I am your best friend
9. Be nice to everyone. You don't know their story.
10. Praise Harambe.
