A letter from Oct 25, 2023

Dear Future Arie, What's up, girliepop? This time last year (which for me is right now) you were really down, and I mean *really* down. We're feeling hopeless and isolated. (How's the "making friends" thing working out btw? And whats up with Jo?) Here are some things I know you probably need to hear; -When things get hard we want to quit but things have always worked out for us -Nothing is permanent. with or without you the world is always changing - You have always had ambition, Arie. Even now we're writing this because you're having one of our classic "Tomorrow is the day I get my life together" moments. lol You've come a long way even if you don't feel it. Be graceful to yourself. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and give yourself permission to do what needs to be done. If not for you, for future Arie. :) You deserve the world. I love you. <3 Ps. Oh yh here are our goals let me know how we did: -Start doing hair professionally -Start our YouTube channel -get a license (Istg if you're still putting this off) -Start building a community of people you want to be around -go back for our education Good luck <3 Ciao
