Past Julie

Past you loves you
and wants you to be happy. She
may not understand everything you do, or
everything you're into, but she knows
that you've seen things she hasn't,
and that in your place, she'd
probably
do the same thing.

She doesn't want to restrict
and imprison you, any more

than you want to restrict
and imprison your future
self.

"Set free your future self, Julie!"

That's what she'd say to you
if she had the chance.

Ok, yeah

she also thinks you're a bit of a dork

but weren't we all such smug little
shits in those days?
