A letter from Jan 29, 2025

Happy birthday, 24 years old? Are you ok? LOL I am just kidding. Seems like we are loved by the Lord. Our bithday is celebrated every year for the past 23 years, even today (I almost thought I would spend this year alone). You are going to do the comp exam in a couple of months, how are you feeling? If you ever feel tired of research and science (I know you will), know that it has chosen us as much as we chose to go this path. How is your family? Is everyone healthy and happy? How are the kittens? How are you? For health and aesthetic sake, have you lost weight my dear!!!? Please tell me you are less than 110 pounds. Are you happy or extremely happy? How is the guy, if there is a guy? I should not be overly confident in us loving someone romantically, sounds even more impossible than working at Harvard. Anyway, go do something! Who celebrates the day with you? I got a bracelet from Jiawei yesterday, the department is having Sichuan for lunch (Lunar New Year), I perhaps will discuss great ideas with an advisor, maybe I will go watch a movie later, pick up free items from restaurant, and join the young adult group (meet a stranger) today too. Sounds kinda busy. What are you doing? What is your greatest hope for the future? Are you still waiting for him? First birthday as Quintessa, she is barely a year old. Quintessa, 1 year old (from 2025).
