Starry Nox,

Today was a rough day. It was one of those where everything felt like it went wrong from the minute I woke up. My phone didn’t charge, so my alarm didn’t go off, which meant I woke up late. Then my brother used up all the hot water and my shower was cold. The last of the coffee spilled on my shirt, and I missed the bus. Well, I had to take the bus because my car was out of gas. It was a pretty shitty start.

I went to my first class, and I zoned out, not wanting to bother. I was doodling in my notebook when I realized I’d drawn a constellation. The sight of the familiar Cassiopeia calmed something in me and despite never hearing your voice, I heard it in my head. Now, I imagine you as a very southern old lady in my head, so don’t hate on my pronunciation.

“Now listen here, Blaze. Don’t be throwin’ no hissy fit just because you ain’t gettin’ your way. The sun didn’t rise just to hear you crow, so don’t be gettin’ mad when no one listens. You want people to notice you? Then you gotta get off your high horse and make an effort. Now, go and make a friend.”

Regardless of if you would’ve said that, it was helpful just knowing you were on the other side of the world and cared. Or at least I hope you do.

I paid attention after that and didn’t fail my test. The day didn’t magically get better, but it wasn’t any worse either. So, there's that. And I did talk to someone, so that was a win.

Tattoos? Yes, I would get a tattoo. I already have one actually. Something about them draws me in. I see myself getting a lot. Maybe one day I’ll tell you what my first one is. It’s kind of private. You definitely should make it mean something. It’s an important step.

Milk pits vs. burp farts? I laughed for ten minutes straight when I read this one. My brother looked at me weirdly and demanded I tell him what was so funny. He chose farted, but I’m with you, nose all the way.

Superpower? Some days, I want the ability to fly so I can fly away from all the things that I don’t like. Other days, the ability to stop time so I can unscrew up my life. I’m constantly fucking things up. It would be nice to have a redo button.
