I found a letter: "Dear future me, I promise I'll take care of the person we'll both be eventually I'll pick up painting, Oh!

Please be disappointed in me Isn't it obvious I wasn't who you think? And it would be So much easier to love you if you could only see yourself like me And wouldn't it hurt much less when you were lonely If you could only see yourself like me?
