A letter is never ill-timed; it never interrupts.
Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message.
There is an element of timelessness about letter writing.

"Katana that picture you posted is so sick." Jordan says.
"Which one?" I ask then Jordan shows me the picture.
The picture is a picture I posted of myself standing in front of a banner that the American fans made of me before the first victory tour game.
The banner, better known as a tifo, showed a large drawing of me saving a ball in the World Cup and above the drawing was the phrase SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
I am still on Social Media, but only to get the information of the racists so my sisters, Skye, and I can expose them.
"Yeah that was pretty cool to see." I say as I'm handed our line-up for tonight's Champions League match against PSG then I look at it.
After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax with my pups for the remainder of the ride to the stadium.
Once at Parc des Princes, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room, everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates and I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, watch, and my rings, put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my short sleeve lime green undershirt, my warm up top, and I put on my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.
After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my red keeper gloves.
"I thought you got new boots and gloves." Jordan says as she and everyone else looks at my boots and gloves.

"I really liked this color so I just got a new pair of them." I say. "But the ones I had my record with are at home in a safe place."
"Oh." Jordan says then I head onto the field with the other keepers.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my lime green keeper jersey while Amaka does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then Appa, Socks, and I do as told.
Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Talia then I wait for us to be called out.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Talia out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the PSG players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Talia does the coin toss, we do our team huddle, then I lead Appa and Socks to the bench.
"Stay here pups." I say
Appa and Socks yip and smile at me so I scratch their heads then I jog to my position on the field.
Once I'm at my goal, I hang my towel up on the net, put my water in the net then Mapi and Tierna come over and fist bump me before they head to their spots.
"Alright people." I mumble. "I've got a pregnant lady to cuddle so let's get this shit over with."
- - - - -
"Whew." I say when the ref blows for full time. "Clean sheet."
We won 2-0.
We won thanks to goals from Alessia and Talia.
The defenders around me chuckle then they high five me.
After I high five the defenders, I take off my gloves, put them in my waist band, then I grab my water bottle and towel from the goal before I head up field to shake hands with the PSG ladies and high five and or hug my teammates.
While I'm shaking hands with the PSG ladies I swap shirts with Sandra Paños.
After I shake hands with everyone, I am greeted by my doggies.
"Hi boys." I say as I sit on the ground.
My pups sit on either side of me then they lick my face.
"Thanks boys." I say then I wipe the dog slobber off my face.
"Aww." I hear Talia say as she sits down with me.
"Puppies pounce." I instruct then Appa and Socks jump on Talia and lick her to death.
"Appa." Talia whines. "Socks."
"Off boys." I say with a smile then my dogs get of Talia and lay in-between us.
"Meanies." Talia says then she grabs my towel and wipes her face off.
"Oops." I say then I look around the stadium. "I know we don't play here in the Olympics, but it's gonna be a lot of fun to play here in France."
"I hope we play France." Talia says. "That away we can fuck up France and Kelley."
"I still don't know why she got the France managerial job." I say.
"Wait does that mean Kelley, Hope, and Hope's kids are moving to France?" Talia asks.
"Alex said that they're staying in the DC area and Kelley's gonna scout from DC then she'll fly over for camps and shit." I say.
