The discovery was a small plastic lunchbox, the kind with a cartoon dinosaur on the front. Inside, she found a handwritten letter to her future self, filled with grand ambitions and declarations of undying love for a boy named Kevin, who had barely acknowledged her in fifth grade. She winced. The words were childish, naive, and so utterly predictable. Her hands trembled as she read her own youthful declarations. She tucked the letter back inside, fighting the urge to shred it.
