A letter from May 12, 2024

Dear Future Me, First of all, Happy 18th Birthday. At the time of writing this you're 15, at the end of Sophomore year, a week before the band trip. Right now, **** is pretty bad for you. Kate dumped us a week ago. Everything feels so intense. I miss them so much. I loved them. I'm sad, and angry, and feeling guilty, partially for being mad at Kate and partially because I feel like it's my fault everything went wrong. Do we ever understand why this happened to us? Do we ever accept it? Do we ever find love again? Do we still miss them?? Everyone says **** gets better, and I hope it has. -Past Brick.
