First Day of 13th Grade

Gord,

I don’t even know what to say. I would have sent you a letter back but I lost the envelope, and I was too scared to respond after so long. Months have gone by since you gave me that amazing graduation present, thank you so much for gifting it to me. I freaked out with my mom and dad and the book is so, so interesting.

But Gord, I knew I had to say something today. I put a message for my first day of every grade in highschool. But now? Highschool is over. And it’s my first day of college. And guess what?

I’m a CREATIVE WRITING MAJOR!

Life has been a little hectic recently. I fell in love with a girl (?) boy (?) (idk, she’s trans) that lived all the way in Sri Lanka… was gonna marry her… booked a flight to Thailand to live with her… my parents knocked some sense into me to not throw away my full ride! Oh and that whole relationship exploded. Kids! I started my own business, just for self-publishing… hasn’t really gone anywhere yet, but I’m incredibly excited. 

I’m at Hampton now. Everything paid for. It is SO. FREAKING. BEAUTIFUL. The ocean, the free food, I absolutely love living in a dorm, I’m having so much fun with my independence. Everything is AWESOME! And I’ve missed you. A lot.

Idk. This keeps happening. I don’t comment for like a week and then I just don’t comment for week after week after week. You’re probably my longest friend. Oh yeah, my friendship with my best friend Ruby* (I think that’s the fake name I use with her on here) and Reese* completely exploded too. Life drama. 

Just… thank you. For everything. For the graduation present. For being my friend for so long. Cheers to everything, everyone… and this is probably the 8th time I’ve said I’m sorry I’m not active on here.
