A letter from August 2nd, 2020

I don't know if I'll be alive by the time this is posted, I'm not even sure if I'd be alive a year from when this is posted so I figured out I'd just send a public note to show my love to two of the best people I have gotten so lucky to know of: Katya and Trixie Mattel. Hi, call me "Seddie". I came to know of Drag race when someone on my Facebook timeline shared the promo of AS4. I thought it was great but didn't bother looking into things more. The next year in the midst of a heartbreak, I tried watching it, my first episode being the Into you lipsync with Valentina and Monet. A few eps later, when Manila lost, I was outraged. I remember telling myself I'd never watch Drag race again. But I was wrong. When Katya came to my country, I was for some reason, very sad? I wasn't sure. I was working near the venue that time so maybe it kind of made me want to see her. I had no ticket then, I actually forgot that she was going to be here and only remembered few days before her one woman show. She wasn't my top favorite but I thought she was interesting enough to be in my top 5. I only knew little of her. After her show, I did my research and found her to be very funny, charismatic and just a joy to be with. A week or so maybe, I knew I was a fan. I started watching drag race again, even more this time! By this time, I also already knew of Trixie, their friendship and UNHhhh which has been a delight to watch. (And still is, right now!) The pandemic has been very hard to deal with but Drag race, most especially Trixie and Katya, has been helping me to stay sane and as weird as it is to focus your life on two drag queens, they have helped me to be better and express myself more. And for that I am very thankful. I was really looking forward to see them this year or maybe the next? I mean, the dates haven't been announced yet but I know that they would be including many places. I saw someone from twitter even be given a hit that my place would be included. Oh well. I really hope this note reaches them because I don't think I'd be this sappy or brave enough to tell this with my actual name on. They mean everything to me, and even when I'm possibly gone, I want them to know that. Thank you all :)
