A letter from December 13th, 2023

Dear steve, 16 years old. I'm 14 years old, december 13th, 2:53am. I'm making this to tell you to never give up on something you can't stop thinking about, don't fall for the trap that is lust, never. remember this, believe her when she shows you the real her, ain't nothing stopping you from becoming what we've always wanted, don't stop now. never, you can't, we're too far in to stop now.
maybe if you've met someone, good for you, us, that's what we've wanted, but not needed. talk to me whenever you feel upset. we're in this together steve, even though I'm younger, who could've prepared us right? everything already probably blew up between dad and mom right, need an answer fr.
all the things you've been through since today, don't give up hope. i love you. I'm looking at you from the past, proud of what you've become. we won't always have the answers, though that never stopped us from seeking for them. don't you ever think you need someone to live or be happy, you only need yourself, never sacrifice your peace of mind for someone else.
take care, young you, out.
