hii dad, how are you?? i have so much to share with you, sad that we didn’t get a chance to speak recently. i know you missed me :p
[i always do]

ohh by the way, do you remember i told you about the soft skills’ lectures scheduled for our class? conducted by my favourite professor? these lectures have been really interesting, you would like them as well.
[ohh yeah?]

yeah, we talked about manifestation and how vital it is to be conscious of how and what we speak into the universe. she reiterated the exact things you’ve been teaching me about!! how to create a vision board for where we are and where we want to go, how affirmations work.
[see! i told you it works.]

i feel excited every time i find pieces of you in my favourite professors.

i told her about you and she said that you’re very correct in your methods! ohh and also, my roommate put up birthday decorations for me and even got me gifts and they’re all so me!!! check your texts, i’ve sent you the photos. ohh and we went out for dinner at this north indian restaurant and the dish absolutely devastated us—

ohh tell me more!

helloo mom, how are you? did you miss me?? ohh what are you doing? ohh okayy. so you know what happened this morning! i skipped college today because we only had the first 7am lecture–
[you should’ve gone anyways]

but i felt too sick to go! also my friend was supposed to get a cake for me—*indistinct side chatter*

why are you telling me this?

—oh. i guess you’re busy. it's okay, bye.

i feel dread every time i find pieces of you in people around me.
