You, from the future

Can’t wait to meet you

By Layla AbubakarPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I promise you whether the boy you liked in middle school smiled at you or not, won’t matter when you’re twenty years old

I promise the words they spit at you won’t matter when you’re twenty one

I promise whether you eat the slice of cake or not, won’t matter when you’re twenty three

I promise you won’t remember the name of the boy who broke your heart In elementary school by the time you are twenty four

I promise whether you look ‘cool’ to your peers or not, won’t matter when you’re twenty five

All of the things you worry about when you’re younger will disappear and be forgotten in the wind when you get older

Stop stressing over the smallest things In lives

I promise the moment you start to stop worrying and start living in the moment

Things will be so much more simpler

I promise

- love, you from the future
