hopes and dreams

letter one.

dear zach,

my mom sent me to a therapist in the beginning of the summer. she said how she just wants to see me happy again, and even dad said there is nothing wrong with a boy going to therapy.

the therapist says how i shouldn't bottle up my feelings anymore and that i should write them down. i thought to write to you, and she agrees that letters to you will be good for me. like i'm talking to you but don't have to face the anxiety of actually doing it.

you were always known as a bad guy but i've never fully believed it. i mean yeah, you vape in the bathrooms, come to class late and get into a fight every now and then. but doesnt every boy do those things nowadays?

nonetheless, you and your friend, jonah, are the "scary" boys of the school.

my friend daniel even has a crush on marais and always blabs about how cute the four of us would be. i listen to him at times but never put it into account.

he always has his head in the clouds, which won't get him anywhere.

hopes and dreams doesn't get you anywhere. what is real will prosper.

from, jack.
