A letter from Oct 01, 2023

Dear Bailey. Hey man, it’s me, you, but a month into 7th grade! So you’re graduating today, or have graduated, or will eventually this month or whatever, so here’s some words and questions for when we’re boutta make it to high school! So first I just wanna ask, how’s Ropoid studios? And furthermore, how’s MBtTA (Mythos Beyond the Third Axis) or even Ætheria and Beyond? I hope it’s going good, this has been our dream for a while and I’ve got faith in us. If you haven’t been doing much, that’s fine! Call this a reason too, sure you might cringe at my memories but i employee you that you can do this, especially at your age! And how’s school been treating you, kinda been having an existential crisis about the next decade of my life but I know that in this year and three-quarters that you’ve found a solution! I hope you’ve been putting energy into coding and writing, and if not, that’s what high school’s for! How’s mom and dad? And Gracie! Have you been talking to Gracie? And maybe dad has turned peacock picnics into a real thing! And hopefully that thing is separate from your life, cause you and your agency matters, don’t ever forget that. Now, let’s talk friends, I know my birthday’s in a few months, but yours just happened, your 14 years old, congrats! Who’d you invite? Also, very important: I hope you’re still in contact with the beautiful people I call my friends, even if you haven’t made any new ones, I hope you’re still talkin to Gavin, Nico, René, Juni, Grey, Finnegan, Bodhi, and Rosetta! If you haven’t, you HAVE to call them right now, ask how they are, and tell them how much their friendship means to you. Maybe you’ve grown those connections with Lilly, max, Delano, Roman, or those people you met on Reddit; or maybe you’ve reconnected with Penelope, Xander, Calvin & Saskia, or even Oscar rocket (though I wouldn’t blame you if you hadn’t, I’ve had trouble getting to them myself). And how are your personal projects? I’m at 62 YT subs but maybe you’ve got a whole thing going on with YouTube? I assume the BeBe Caperverse is complete, and maybe you finally made that documentary about ID software! Or maybe you’ve done neither, you’ve not been in a productive mood, and honestly I feel ya. And who are you? I know I’ve changed a lot since starting 5th grade, but what about you? There’s so much that I don’t know about you, but whatever you are, whoever you are, you’re beautiful, I know you probably haven’t told yourself that enough, and I definitely haven’t, but no matter what anyone (even you) says, your beautiful, you’re talented and kind on the inside, a growing person, and hey, I like what you did with your hair today! Regardless, I love you man, and don’t listen to what those dumbasses say, you are a wonderful guy, and you can do whatever the **** you wanna do with your life buddy! Your surrounded by people that really do love you and would Ben over backwards for you, no matter how much you tell yourself or those other guys tell you, and you know what? You’re worthy, stay the nerdy, smart, creative kid, and party on dude! 💙💙🤟🤟💙💙 Love Bailey, circa September 30th, 2023, 7th grade.
