Hey, Stella. Do you remember the first day we met? We met at the coffee shop across from where the auditions for the play that theatre club was putting on. You had an amazing smile on your face when you walked in with Naomi and Olivia. You wore a beautiful blue dress with little pink flowers on it. When I saw you, it felt as if the world stopped spinning and it was only you and I in the world.

We didn't exactly talk at the coffee shop, but that was the first time I saw you. I was too shy to talk to you, but we both auditioned for the play, and we both got the parts we wanted. And when we found that out, we went out with other cast members and everyone left to go study or back to their dorms, and it was just you and me. And we talked all night.

You told me all about you. You were born in Argentina and moved to the US when you were six because your dad got a job here. You're the middle child, and as most middle children are often forgotten, your words not mine, you wish you were forgotten but your parents focused on you the most because of your intelligence and talent. You chose to go to college because you wanted an education, and your parents didn't support your decision to continue your education after graduating college because they wanted you to be famous and successful, not educated and successful.

And now, you are educated and on your way to become successful. You are going to live your dreams and star in movies with Tom Holland and Gina Rodriguez. You're going to be performing next to Camila Cabello and Harry Styles. You will follow your dreams, I just hope he won't hold you back. And I hope you won't let him hold you back.
