A letter from Aug 16, 2022

well, this is it, we finally graduated high school, and as of the day you get this, we're 18. don't **** this up, graduating Erskine was just the beginning, collage is the next step. RMCAD, the collage for photography, remember, when you're behind a camera you feel like you can do anything, you feel invincible. with student loans, and savings, you can make it. moving to Colorado will be a big step. have you lost weight yet? we lost ten pounds the summer that this was written, lets loose more. have you come out yet? its been a confusing time realizing we're bisexual, we still haven't even told Norah yet. do we still talk to Norah? no matter what, she will always hold a place in our heart. rays been gone for a year and a half by now, he may have stolen all our stuff, but i think by now we've forgiven him. as a way to focus Elton john is playing in the background, he will always be a big inspiration to us. moms a lot better since ray left, she's happy, she's up, and doing things. Jupiter is sitting next to me right now, she's a great cat, hopefully we can bring her with us when we move. so, you're an adult now, don't be stupid and don't let our Tourette's affect us, we can prove everyone wrong. so, in the words of our 8th grade science teacher, our biggest inspiration. "focus on the day to day, and you'll do just fine in life" - Mr. maxwell. sincerely - your fourteen-year-old self.
