A letter from Aug 03, 2024

This is you. Your 13 year old you. You might forget to check this email or may have abandoned it completely, but I’m sending this to you. Here’s what I want to say to you… Stop thinking you’ve had it worse. Maybe you might have been kicked out from our scholarship, maybe things haven’t been going well for you, but stop being so selfish. And don’t you dare talk back. Mom has enough problems to deal with, she doesn’t need another one. She blames herself every night, she blames everyone around her and you just think that she doesn’t love you because of that. She does, she’s just broken…if you have forgotten that, then you don’t deserve to be happy. But if you got that stuck in your head, then I’m relieved. Keep treating her with respect. And if you can, keep quiet if she’s having a bad time…focus on her and deal with your own problems yourself. And take care of baby sis and bro, alright?
