Writing letters is so intimate. Like, imagine giving someone a folded piece of paper; watching their expression change from that of perplexity to pure joy and adoration at reading something cute you wrote.

Shoutout to people who’s lives aren’t idyllic. People like me who have a messy dorm and a roommate they don’t get along with. People like me with a fridge not filled with health foods and tofu but monster energy drinks and a single loaf of bread. People like me who want it to be pretty but just don’t always have the energy. You aren’t doing it wrong, you’re not alone. Be messy, just never stop learning.

"I suppose what I really am is restless. I want to go everywhere, see everything, do everything. I want to find something. Yes, that's it, I want to find something."

" I sleep. I dream. I make up things that I would never say. I say them very quietly."
