Dear Elliot (if that's still our name),
Are you ok? I hope you are. Things are pretty ****** right now, and I just started crying. I hope we're doing better, that we are out of the closet and into the transgender light. (That sounds like such ******** at the moment.) I just got a new plant, and my stomach hurts, and every time I look into the mirror I sometimes want to laugh but mostly want to cry. Enough about me. How's 7th grade been going? Was the summer good? And are we accepted? Happy birthday, by the way. You're 13 now, a real teenager. How does that feel? I'm proud of you for making it this far. I ordered a Cavetown t-shirt today, How long did it take to come? I'm really dysphoric right now, so hopefully you've started making steps towards transition. And one more thing: Do we still see Avery, and do we still have a huge-*** crush on her? I will refuse to make an *** joke here. Anyways, I love you (maybe more than I love present me), and I hope we're better.
So much love,
Elliott, they/them
