Hello again. I'm dreadfully sorry about my last message, if Tumblr decided to send it through. I was in the midst of war against my mind and had "rediscovered" my poetic side. My deepest apologies. :( I've been doing well for the most part, as well as one can be in these times. It's been bumpy, but I've been making it through. I've slowly forgotten who They are, but going through previous context, I'm slowly remembering, along with who I was. Who I am. I'm glad despite the disparities, the times have been alright towards you. Plans change, and so do people, but roots still stay the same. I'm glad, nay happy, you remember me even if I often forget who I am. I have never forgotten you even in my silence. I often find myself feeling ghostly and sparrow-like still as well. As you said, the years have been years. I've learned lessons, and I'm still learning them despite being stuck for years in certain years. Time loops, y'know? I've always heard you never stop learning. If you have, then it's time for a change. Mental health is always a challenge, and I wish you well for the good fight, my friend. Goals change, and so do the times. Mine have greatly shifted as well. I'm glad you're doing better, Spectre. I thank you for the well wishes. I'll keep this short, as to not overstay. I've missed talking to you, dear friend. I hope this winter has taken it easy on you. I hope this spring holds may beginnings- Sparrow
Sparrow my friend, no worries! Every message from you warms my heart, to know I am thought of so warmly. What more could a ghost want?
There's some saying about "the more things change, the more they stay the same" and honestly, I feel that often, but in a positive kind of way. As time goes on and my life changes, I'll come and go from my ghostly identity, but at least so far, we always seem to reunite, and it feels like meeting an old friend (much like getting to talk with you again!) Paths and plans change, but I'm still moving forward, and I'm happy with that.
If I may ask, do you have any big plans or goals for 2025? I'm still chasing the dream of medical school-- I've got one interview down with results coming in the next couple weeks, as well as another interview at a different school soon. Beyond that, my other goal is to try my hand at painting again. I never thought I was all that good, but I enjoyed the process, and want to give it another go.
You're always welcome in my inbox, Sparrow, it's a delight to hear from you. I'm wishing you all the best! 🩷
