subject: do people even check their emails from middle school anymore?
dear my favorite person from when i was an obnoxious teen,
it’s been years. i don’t know if you’ll even read this, or if you’re like a normal person who doesn’t use the email they used when they were in middle school. regardless of that, i’m gonna type this like you might read it. i’m in my hometown right now and i saw my parents today. they showed me a couple of old relics from when i was a kid and a copy of the very first letter i sent you was in an old box in my garage. it took me back to a time when things were way simpler than they are now.
i feel like we’re living in a world where things aren’t as black and white as they were when we were just two kids who emailed back and forth all night. i remember that night that i stayed up until three in the morning talking to you because it was midnight where you lived. and all of those times over winter and spring break that i could ramble on about stupid shit until the sun came up because i had nothing to do other than talk to you. man, i’d give anything to be that young again. i’m clearly feeling the nostalgia while writing this, so just ignore the whole rant.
how’ve you been? i hope you’re doing well. if there’s a world where you receive this, know i’m thinking of you. fill me in on all of the juicy details of your life. make sure you keep it anonymous for me, though. knowing who you are takes away all the fun.
