A letter from Mar 12, 2023

March 12, 2023 Dear Sachita, I wrote something like this a year ago, but it shouldn’t arrive till you’re 20, so don’t worry about it. Anyway, hi. I’m you from when you were 14. It’s not really great right now. School is boring, and I genuinely don’t know if I’m dumb or just can’t pay attention. I’m mostly ignored, and barely have any friends. Well, I have two really great ones. I think you know who they are, hopefully (A and S, duh). I hate myself a lot honestly, don’t really like my life right now. Have you decided become a musician? Or an animator? Maybe something completely different. As long as you’re happy, it’s fine, really. Ok, this is extremely similar to the other one, but life hasn’t really changed since then. So, you finally got out of Bothell. Maybe you’ll miss it, maybe not. I wouldn’t. Did S reciprocate our feelings? Or did you find someone new? Either way, good for you. On other news, did you get a short haircut, or piercings? I really want both. Hopefully you have a better relationship with your family, and they accepted you for, you know, the whole *** thing lol. Also, Jazz 1. If we actually got in…holy crap. And if we went to Ellington, even holier crap. That would be fantastic. Ok, that’s all I got. By the way, did FNF ever come out? Hopefully it did. Anyway, see you. And I hope life went in a better direction. -Sachita, age 14 (If we finally got people to start calling us Zak, good job!)
