What is it like to be 28? Is it better than 23? I imagine it is.
Right now things are so difficult, and it feels like I have no control; I am trapped. Do you still feel that way? I bet you don't.
You are on the cusp of feeling too old but also too young, whereas I can dare to still call myself "young," though we both know that our soul is old. But I still feel like a lost child, as though I am going through a delayed adolescence of sorts. Have you found yourself yet? At least, have you grown? I should not doubt.
Right now, on this 12th of July 2019, the world is on the brink of a potential shift in authority, come 2020. I'm scared. I'm scared and I'm tired. I am weary of maltreatment and corruption, but what have I done to change it? Have you, perhaps, become more active?
I pray that, wherever you are right now, you are able to look back at me and not be ashamed. My hope is that you and your love are still going strong, conquering the world together.
I wish you every happiness.
Sincerely,
me, at almost 23
