Dear Future Emily,
I’m sure you will see as this letter continues that I’m not
all that great at writing about myself, but I know you will put up with it
because well…you have too. Where do I begin, well I’m currently writing this in
2020 which has been, as you know, complete shit. It’s been tough recently, you
lost your grandfather, you are stuck inside your room with barely any contact
with the outside and you’re depressed as all hell. Don’t worry, some good
things have happened though. You’re doing well in your classes, you are
continuing to write (although not as much as you would like), and you have some
pretty awesome roommates to be stuck with during this all. All this is not
really news to you though, since I guess you lived through it…Moving on!
Since I just gave you a recap of all that’s been going on
with me now, here’s some things that I hope that you are/are doing. I hope we
are still as crazy as we are now, not like “unsub on Criminal Minds” crazy but
a balanced crazy. Hopefully we are living out our dreams of working in the
entertainment industry and have made some badass projects. I hope we have a
nice family and some cute, not bratty, kids. Most of all, I hope we are still
us, because we are one of the most hardworking, talented, and determined people
I’ve ever met, even if we don’t realize it all the time.
Times are tough right now, but I know I will get through it
and you will too, trust me. I want our creativity to always be a priority in
our projects and never let anyone say otherwise. Even though we are a woman in
film, we will be just as good as anybody else and if we have to fight for our
name to be out there in the world, then so be it.
Love,
20 year old Emily
