A letter from Jul 24th, 2021

Dear Hanna, Happy birthday, dumb ****! I hope you're treating yourself on you special day as a 23 year old. Holy ****, that's so old. I'm 18 writing this, barely in college yet. I haven't even gotten my first job nor know how to drive. Home remodeling has been such a huge extension of my life, I realized I never gave time to explore myself personally. We just finished assembling kitchen cabinets. How's the house looking now? Anyways, I hope by now, you're passionate in what you are studying and have found yourself indulged in great opportunities involving art and design or business. Are you still friends with Erica, Vivi, Graciela and Eno? If not, that's okay, friends drift apart and maybe you have new, wonderful friends by your side. Still, I hope they are happy, healthy, and successful. Did you have your first or multiple heartbreaks yet? I know you're not the type to focus on relationships. If you're still single, I just know you are perfectly content without a partner knowing that being alone makes you carefree. If you are with someone, is it a woman? A man? If they're toxic GET OUT. If they ain't, you better treat them right. Right now, I have a straining relationship with dad. I feel so empty and constricted from this tension between us. I want to get out and be my own person for a little to find myself, but I know I am stuck here forever. I hope by 23, you and dad no longer have toxic attitudes. I wish that he supports you by now for the things you've worked hard for so far. Are you still living in the same home? Did you move to an apartment? Please remember to check in with Auntie. She's probably lonely and there might not be time left much with her. I wonder if mom is still connected to you... I think we both know that it's hard to bond with her but still love her anyways. I wonder if your hair is long or in a cute bob? Do you have a pet dog? It better be a Dachshund named Mickey! Or Minnie if a girl. Have you traveled anywhere? Save your money and get a trip to the Bahamas! Have you created amazing art pieces? Do you love your job or internship? I hope you had a wonderful college graduation. Are you going to pursue that Master's Degree now? I hope my adult life has made up for my depressing teen years. Please eat well, get some restful sleep, drink lots of water, and declutter your space to give yourself better clarity, balance, and focus on life. I hope you continue to not give a **** about what others say negatively and live your life the way you wish to. You are the only person living this life. You have overcame countless hardships already. Don't give up and keep living because you bring smiles to people. You matter. Always focus on what's important. You don't need any materialistic items that distract you. I wonder what music you listen to now. Right now, I'm listening to Stargazing by The Neighborhood. What are you listening to? What's your favorite song at the moment? I've thrown away so many clothes I don't wear. I hope you have good fashion taste by now because it's been lacking. I hope you've reached most of your goals. Time to set new ones. Sincerely, that stupid *****.
