A letter from Aug 15th, 2021

Yo, I'm rewriting this letter because that last one felt absolutely f-ing robotic and that is not how I want to remember my fun, spunky, wild 18 year old self. Dude, you're leaving for college tomorrow morning at 4am and to say the least life is about to change, literally flip upside down and sideways. Everything is going to change. I think all I really have to say is, I hope you loved it. In 5 years, I hope you look back and think, "wow, that was a really good time, so defining and wonderful." AND YOU BETTER BE GOING ON THAT GAP YEAR WITH LILY AND WRITING THAT BOOK!!!!!!!! BE confident and BE yourself. Acknowledge the beauty in life. Please? Okay? I love you the most. O
