Hey Geoffrey,
I don’t know if it’s because high school’s nearing its end or if it’s because I’m feeling a little more confident with things lately, but I’ve got some big goals looming around in my head that I need to tackle. Well, just two.
First, I want to talk to our folks. If I can come clean with hundreds of people, strangers nonetheless, and remove the invisibility cloak I’ve been wearing for so long, then surely I should be able to talk to my own parents. They deserve that more than strangers do, right? I’ve been putting this off for way too long. It’s time. I feel like I’ve said that to you before, but I’m serious. It’s time.
The second one is about Quinn. I have to tell her how I feel. I worry that if I don’t, one day it will come spilling out like word vomit and I’ll freak her out. Scare her off or something. There’s just one problem. I don’t know how I feel.
Yeah I do.
I love her. So much, Geoffrey.
But how do I know if it’s just mad respect for her? Or just massive appreciation for her? Or if it’s love love. Like the real deal love. I’m pretty sure it’s the real deal love. I would do anything for her, Geoffrey. I’ve thought about it. I literally think I would do anything she asked of me.
But I’m terrified that I’ll mess up our friendship. I think I’d be lost without her, and I’d rather have our friendship than nothing.
I’ll tackle the parent goal first. Who would have guessed that talking to my folks about absenteeism and addiction would be the easier of two conversations?
Miss you. I think of you every day. I hope you know that.
