A letter from January 22nd, 2016

You're writing this at 22 years old. You say "life is a struggle" a lot. Your apartment is pretty messy, and sami the cat is 2 years old and chubby. You are 6'2 243 lb. You are an alcoholic and it has been 3 days since your last drink, you find it very difficult to not go to the gas station and get something. K and A are getting married in march, and they bought a house a few months ago. Your only friends are N, N, and J. You worry a lot about working with dad and whether your neighbors can smell the pot you smoke. You are extremely depressed. You really enjoy tortilla scoopers with bean dip from CVS. Your favorite musician right now is Ariel Pink, especially his album "pom pom." You like lo-fi music and anything with weird sounds. You are very conservative. You feel pressure from every direction. Feel better, buddy.
