It's been a while, hasn't it?
Solaris is still growing, surprisingly. If it weren't for Leon or Tris, we would probably be belly up by now. They promise that it's all me, that I'm bringing us to success but, truth is, It's been hard.
I've pulled it together. I train with Daryl once a week, or really whenever he comes around. He sticks around for a while, always saying it's for supplies or because Dog missed me but I know he's just checking up on me. I'm glad he's still around.
I visit the other communities at least once a month, more if they need supplies or to meet about certain threats. Oceanside has been doing well, Rachel and Cyndie run a tight ship. The Hilltop has been doing good under Jesus and Tara, and Hilltop only grows stronger. I know that it would be progressing even more if you were here but they get the job done. You'd be proud.
The Kingdom has been slowly and steadily growing stronger. King Ezekiel has been doing well, especially with "Queen Carol" by his side. They've been pretty busy with raising Henry and have even adopted Alec as their own.
Alec's been a good friend. He's been by my side through thick and thin. I know why, and I know what he feels for me, but we just seem to tip toe around it. And I'm okay with that. I don't want to find love, not now, not when it took me so long to just open up to Carl. Not when it seems like everyone I do love ends up cursed just by loving me.
As for Carl, I see him once in a while. He stands in Alexandria as a member of the Council and as the Solarian Proxy, a representative to exchange information. Solaris is the only other community Alexandria corresponds with and that's mostly because of him. I hardly go to those information exchanges but, when I do, all those feelings come back.
It sucks. There's no other way to put it.
But my problems are no matter, not when you're traveling and establishing communities. You're doing something amazing, and I can only hope I get to see what greater world you build.
Tell Hershel that I love him and miss him.
I hope to see the both of you soon.
I love you, Mom.
