A letter from Jul 26, 2022

Peaceful right?

Hi! How are you doing? It’s yourself writing, but from the past! Right now it’s July 26th, 2022, 11:35pm. You’re 14 years old. You’re on holidays in Paris. Remember? You wanted to visit the city you were born in, and where you used to live. And you wanted to make your mother happy. It’s been almost ten years since she has left her city. The city where she was born and where she lived for almost 40 years! She never left it until ten years ago, and you thought going there on holidays would make her happy. Guess what? You weren’t mistaken! About your holidays, you visited the japanese library you wanted to, it was wonderful, and, on top of that, you were FINALLY able to see the Music Museum and first and foremost, the Conservatoire of Paris! Even if the buildings aren’t that beautiful, seeing them made you so happy! After all, it was your dream to one day be able to join it! About that, how is music going? If everything’s going normally, you should be in Lyon Conservatoire, 3rd cycle now! Or maybe you’ve finished it? It would be very surprising and unexpected, but, who knows? Life is full of surprises and unknown things! But I hope you haven’t given up on music again! I’m sure you won’t do that. Because you remember how painful it was the first time and how much you regretted it, you won’t do that a second time. I trust you on that. So, about Paris. Do you still want to go there? Maybe you have other plans? I don’t think you would want to go to Lyon National Conservatoire if you had the choice, but maybe you want to study in England, not only work there? Right now I really want to study in Paris, but, again, who knows? About the music prepa, what are you going to do? Paris or Lyon? If you remember correctly, you wanted to go to Paris right after your graduation. Oh wait… I forgot THE most important thing! Did you pass baccalaureate? Were you able to get in the high school you wanted to? You know, you wanted to change schools in 11th grade. Did you do it? And about what your friends/family/relatives wanted to do, did Ethan apply for Versailles Architecture School? Where did Ewann went for his chef studies? Were you finally able to meet Solene, Précy and Ewi? Do your sister Léna still want to do fashion studies? And by the way, is she still learning oboe? Does she still like it? There are so many questions I want to ask, but anyway, I have to stop. With my whole affection, Charlyne from 2022
