A letter from Aug 07, 2022

Dear future Emil, Happy birthday! You're 23 now! Isn't that something? Right now its 7 August 2022. 3 months from our 19th birthday. I'm writing this from our dorm! First time living alone. Jay moves in tomorrow and band also starts tomorrow. I'm super scared but when am I not? I don't know what it's going to be like for us in 2026 but I hope you still have your dreams with you. The good ones I mean. I hope Jay is still in your life as well as the Bastion Bois and Tommy and everyone you met through SmileSMP. I don't know if you've made it through college or if you went back to ICTC but whichever you did I hope it went well. I also hope the Iceland/Canada plan is still viable! We'll make it out eventually. A little hindsight for you, I'm going to my dad's today to get myself foodstamps and then Papa is taking me to get a microwave. Afterwards Jay is coming over to hang out and bring FOOD!!! I'm missing my family and I'm missing Jubilee, Sky, and Precious. I'm also missing the forest. Town is super stinky! But I'm honestly surprised at how quiet it is at night. I guess that's the perk of living in a smaller town. I still love Tahlequah, but I'm still yearning for colder horizons. I don't know how you've changed yet but I'm sure we're happier now! Emily, Em, Kenny, Emil, Glacier We've changed a lot and we're gonna keep changing a lot but I hope that this hekps you in some way. It's the end of 2022, you're happier (not happy), you have good friends, you survived Covid, and you made it further than anyone could have imagined. Keep your head up! <3 Skítt með vatnið þítt
