A letter from Jan 13, 2025

happy 20th birthday!! you’re so old now LOL i can’t believe we made it this far. did you end up graduating early or are you deciding to graduate regularly with a minor in latin american and caribbean studies? i’m so proud of you. did you find someone who is worthy of you? you’ve grown sm and i hope you enjoy the person you’re becoming. did we end up finding an internship or volunteer work? i’m really happy knowing that it is okay that some things are out of my control, and i hope you are still accepting of that. what color is your hair now? are you still in laso? did we end up finding more stuff about your ancestors? wherever you are in life now, know that everything is falling into place. be proud of where you come from and appreciate those who came before you. live in the moment and respect yourself and your boundaries. never settle for anything less than you deserve, even if it is not long-lasting. i love you and wish you nothing but peace and happiness <33
