Careless, ruthless and rotten. I hear those adjectives everyday, when I first wake up I tell them to myself just to remind me who I am, i’m lonely and mean, i’m a beautiful chaos from the confines of the world living on a conformist society. Everyone loves calm, peace and quietness, that’s boring. People seemed to forget what does fun means, that’s why I’m here, as a reminder. I’m the rebel child, an avaricious girl who got everything she wanted from her daddy, the girl who didn’t fit into this comfort they all looked for, the girl who wants more without caring what it takes.
I remember the first day of GCSE, how everyone got in pairs and groups with strangers, I wasn’t interested honestly, they all seemed pathetic. Then the teacher asked about our names, hobbies, holidays and about our life goals.
I like to remember this day in particular, the only day I had the chance to like someone but I just refused and closed my soul so nobody could ever take the poison it has inside.
<<Hello! My name is Scott Shelman. I was born on 2015, so i’m 8 by the time i’m hiding this box, we are on 2023. You will be wondering (or maybe you don’t even speak english anymore) why am I writing a letter. I have so many questions for 2523 but my father says it’s a waste of time, i’ll never know the answer, that’s why i’m the one how’s going to explain you how’s life on earth at these “hard times” (that’s how my father calls them at least, I don’t think they’re that hard, actually they are pretty cool for me). First of all, this is still England? I’ve heard grandpa saying that this country would probably disappear if we keep going like we are. I let you an actual screenshot from Google Maps so you can compare it to yours, I hope the swimming pool is still opened. On the other hand, there’s a picture of me and my family and one of my friends. Are humans still… you know, humans? There’s been an alien invasion? Maybe what we consider human on 2523 will be considered an alien, that’s why I put that photo into the box. Look at my dog! Isn’t it cute? He’s really really old, more than me actually. Dog’s are still your friends? Because Nelly is my best friend (although she smells really bad sometimes).
My grandma also gave me the idea of putting on a QR code that would lead you to my playlist, there you can listen to nowadays music (my big sister helped me filling it, she always complains about my music taste). Spotify is still working? I’m sure it is, if it’s not you can look for music on Youtube, right?
You have to appreciate the fact I gave you one of my favorite toys, this dragon really meant a lot for me, but you and your friends can have it in the future, please take care of Franklin.
Finally, i’m giving you my father’s old phone (and the charger just in case you need it, maybe it runs out of battery). In this phone you will find so many videos and documentary’s i’ve been recording for a while now. In these I show you my friends, my favorite park, some trips with my family and basically how life works nowadays (ps: the password is 2023).
I’m really excited for you to open thsi box, I hope you love it as much as I do and do the same for the future.
Love, your friend from the past, Scott. >>
You’ll probably don’t believe this but, when I first meet you I just thought “wow, It’s going to be impossible to live after we breathed the same air”; and it is. I know you think is for the best, and I know it’s going to be the best choice for you (i’m happy for that), but deep into my core I feel this kind of volcano, an eruption within my heart that little by little will erode my soul until it’s covered in ashes and dust. Saying goodbye to you is not just that, it’s saying goodbye to midnight dances on the kitchen, to fights over choosing a movie, it’s saying goodbye to morning messages and late night kisses. I know is for the best, at least it will be the best for one of us.
Today is a busy day, festive weekends always require special hairstyles, so my hairsalon is full the hole journey. Agatha’s daughter came at 12pm, the busiest hour of the day, so I didn’t got the chance to ask her about her mother until she came to pay.
I went totally pale while checked my schedule. She even got her next appointment for next friday…
I often wonder how my life would be if I never split into this cafeteria. You were simply standing, waiting for your everyday order: <<a venti caramel macchiato, please>>. I curse my luck the moment I run after you this autumn day; you left your wallet. Do you remember the rain this day? I went home soaking (I also got a pretty bad flu after that), but it didn’t stop us to stare right into our eyes for minuts the moment I reached you. This was years ago, now you’re not here, you’ve been gone for a while; I don’t even see you order your everyday venti caramel macchiato. Today I woke up covered by your shadow, I even felt your hands tracing treasure maps on my back; remember how you used to draw our dream house? In a very fast instant everything we had slip in time, I was used to own the universe, now i’m homeless, I walk ruthless in this nonsense world, nonsense because you’re not here anymore.
