A letter from Jun 12th, 2021

hi helen! today, i graduated high school. i marched with nina and sat on the gross metal chairs and sweated a little too much and smelled like sunscreen and fear for the future and it was amazing. it still doesn’t really feel over, that i’m not going to ever see all of those people in the same spot again, but maybe after prom it’ll hit. i thought a lot today about when i was younger, and how simple everything was and how wonderful that felt. i hope you’re able to live simply. i can’t even begin to imagine what you’ll be doing but i hope it makes you happy. if it’s an office job or anything that makes you dread going to sleep because you don’t want to wake up and work, please find something else. move to scotland, sell all your stuff, fake your ***** and begin a new life in the woods (larp dream?). your life is not supposed to be boring! i’m in bed next to nina, i’m sleeping over tonight. we just took edibles and are waiting for them to hit. unrelated, i’m tired. go listen to your old playlists, even if you think they’re bad now. don’t pretend emo music isn’t good. you are high. ok good bye
