Hey y'all, I hope you are well.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people reiterate the same things in different ways or are forever stuck in one mode of thinking and can't break away from it. (I am guilty of that by all means, but that doesn't mean I can't hate it.) And being that my brain has been either on vacation mode or just completely gone on autopilot for the time being, I'm going to accept the fact that I have nothing special to say for this letter. I honestly almost forgot to even write it. I kept thinking, "there is something important I'm supposed to do before I go to sleep" over and over again, but kept forgetting, until I was finally able to sit down at my laptop and type this out. So I'll keep it at that.
Until my brain starts working again --
Love, B
