A letter from Sep 13, 2022

From: 14 Year old You! To: 15 Year old You. --------------------- Happy Birthday to youuu, Happy Birthday to youuu! Happy Birthday- Haaapppyy birrtthhdaayy.... Haappyy birthday tooo youuu!! Yay! Happy birthday me! I hope you're doing alright! By the time you receive this you'll be in 9th Grade. I wish you well! I hope you are Happy, Healthy, and somewhat no longer feeling sad or empty every night. I get that you feel like you don't fit in or- well, feel like you're a disappointment, but remember that you have other people! You're friends online to have your back! Of course, despite they're half-way across the world, they're still there to talk to you! There's even Jongab if you really need to talk with your best mate. I wish you a great 15th Birthday and I hope that you are no longer sad about these negativities you have.. Happy Birthday, Nathan. Just remember there are still people you can talk to if you don't feel comfortable or brave enough to speak to our Mom. Best of wished for you throughout 2023 and beyond. Remember, you only live once! So make the most of your life! Especially that time is flying by super fast now. And remember, you are still loved. <3
