A letter from July 25th, 2019

Dear 26 year old me, Initially, as I started writing this, I wondered if there was even a point. Would you even use the same email? But of course you still use this email. You've used it since you were like 10, and I doubt THAT much has changed. Right now, I work in Baiziwan, Beijing, China. So far, everything is great. I talk to the guys a lot. I sit with James and Deam. We all go to get lunch together at Bian Li Feng. It's a pretty chill thing. James said that he is getting ready to move back to the UK in 2 months. I wonder who the new foreign teacher will be after that. Right now, live in Shunyi. Everyday, it takes two hours to get to work by subway and two hours to get home. That's 4 hours everyday! I really need to work on saving up to move closer to work. 14 hours a day of just work/travel is a lot. But honestly, it keeps me busy and I kind of like it. It seems really impressive to other people too. They are like, "WOOWWW!! How do you keep up?" But I really do it without that much problem. So I feel really cool. The hardest days are when I choose to go hang out with people after work! Then I only get like 3 hours sleep and I wake up like "Why did I do this to myself?" Right now, I'm kind of dating a Chinese guy named whose Leo. Reading this, you're probably like, "lol jeez". He's cool, but I don't trust him. He's a self proclaimed hoe who has admitted to (in the past), hooking up with 3-4 girls in one day. He says that he's changed and didn't enjoy it because it makes a person feel lonely, but I don't believe it. He left for the Netherlands for a few weeks to work, and he wants to keep dating and to not see other people during this time. But I'm not really trying to look stupid. So, I'm cheating. :) I kind of really hope that you've become a better person than this though. On another note, I'm going to visit South Korea for the first time tomorrow. I'm going to be staying in Seoul in Gangnam. Hopefully going to make it to some clubs. I've spent my time here in China learning Chinese, but I'm kinda freaked out about visiting Seoul without even knowing how to say "Hello" in Korean. So the next few days, I will be trying my best to learn a few basics! In the future, I hope to have paid off my debt in America, and fixed my credit. I also hope that I will have the opportunity to start a business. If you haven't yet, I hope that the reason is good! I really wish the best for us dude. But if you haven't achieved anything yet, at least never stop dreaming.
