A letter from Dec 21, 2024

Hey Buddy, You made some new friends and lost some old friends along the way but hey nobody's perfect. You hurt some of the closest people in your life and despite it all they for some reason still want us around. Whoever you are now 6 months later down the line reading this with new skills, new friends, new experiences just know I love you. I have started to love you. Yes you reading this. I have started to love the parts of myself I used to hate. Don't get me wrong I still hate us and who we are but I also love what we have done. You have made an impact on the people around you through doing the things you love and care about. You made some peoples days brighter just by EXISTING- and don't you forget that. I hope you've stuck around another 6 months longer to be able to open this email and read this. Mom and Dad if its you reading this just know I love you very much but things got really hard. For your siblings and parents sake send another letter after this one and stick around for another 6 months to read the next. See you on the other side. With more love than you could ever know, you from the past.
