For the K after me,
Don't get lost in the past or the worries of a future you haven't seen yet. Just live today. The present matters more than anything. I got a chance to read our old memoir, and trust me when I say this: It is proof that we survived some crazy shit. We’ve cried enough over the past in those moments, so there’s no need to dig up those corpses now. It's not like life will run out of things to make you cry, but trust me, it will also give you things to smile about. I hope you remember this moment and this feeling when you read this letter again. Just remember: life is never bad, there are only bad times. You have survived them before, and you will again. Listen to "long story short" by Taylor Swift when the battle feels heavy. And my dear brother, Happy Birthday! From a You sometime in December, 2025. -K
