A letter from Oct 15, 2024

Dear now-adult Ari... If you're still alive, thank you so much for keeping the promise you made so long ago. The promise you made to all the silly boys, girls, and pals who couldn't. Keep going, buddy. Remember what you promised them. Even if you don't find love, you've got your fellow sillies who are worth living for. :'3 Do you miss being me? If so.... ****. My life already sucks lol Keep drawing, too. I'd hate to see our art "career" go stagnant. Have you finished that series of drawings based on the "Bombs Away" album yet? Have you even touched it again? Or did you forget? Maybe you should get on that, but more importantly... Are you doing alright in school? I doubt it, we've never been a good student. I get it, the struggles with ADHD, but... oh, who am I kidding? What the hell are we gonna do about it? I really hope you've found a solution, but I doubt it. You ain't got much more time... Oh, and one more thing. https://neal.fun/share-this-page/ :333 With love and sorrow, almost-17-year-old Ari (sent Oct 15, 2024)
