A letter from February 25th, 2021

dear adrien i just realized something. im literally just a dumb naive kid. im not terrible or whatever, im literally 15. and im not better or smarter rhan anyone, im as dumb and flawed as any stupid 15 year old. and it’s all **** i’ll eventually know the answers to and be smart and mature enough to overcome. i dont think i’ll really see an improvement next year, so i’ll send this a few years forward. here’s to hoping ive grown up by then. ive been so worried im an awful person and **** but ive been holding myself to adult standards and even feeling like an adult a lot of the time but im not. i just have teenage syndrome. and i’ll get better at everything im already good at. im so excited for that. improvement is pretty much inevitable and even if i trash my life the knowledge i’ll gain from it is, if anything, worth more than any success. im proud of you and i hope in 5 years youre still alive to hear it
