A letter from August 21st, 2019

Peaceful right?

Dear Me, How are you? How is school, we'll be going into sophomore year of college soon, of we haven't already. Today was first day of junior year. I'm interested to know some stuff. How has Tech worked out, because right now my whole body hurts? Where are you going to college? For what? Are you still working at Braums? If so, quit today, unless you are making absolute bank. What's going on with Mom and Joe, because currently things aren't going well for me with that situation. Dad and Claire? Nora should be 16 by now. Are you still living at home? Did you ever even move out of Moms? Currently I'm in band, starting morning rehearsals tomorrow. How does Hadesland place? What's the senior show? How does that place? Did I make the rifle line? Ok so now onto people. Are we still friends with Audrey? Is Tara as fake as I suspect? Does Alex stay in the friend group? Do I ever reconnect with Lena? What did everyone got to college for, if you don't know, get on Facebook right now. What's going on in your dating life? Currently the answer is nothing. Are you dead and not even reading this? Yours in Christ, Past You (or us)

Tech sucked, and ended in March because of COVID. You were going into sophomore year of college in 2022 at OSU....
