A letter addressed to Lief Ellis, Anson, Texas, dated Nov. 24 Nov. 25 Nov. 26 Nov. 29


You’d think I would’ve remembered how freaking cold it gets here but NOPE. Joe Montana and I are doing our best to not die of hypothermia, but it’s a daily struggle. On the plus side, I decided to suck it up enough this year to play hockey, which I’m really pumped about because I get to totally check people which, surprise, I am really into. My skating is subpar but I didn’t go to any training yet and probably won’t because I just need to stay on my feet long enough to run into someone else. Also I totally kicked ass at a snowball fight that lead Coppertale to a win! Even though we’re miserable at Quidditch this year. I am crying SO MUCH (except not really because you know I don’t cry).

Anyways… I also maybe kind of forget how much I miss you when I’m away. I love everyone here (well, not everyone, almost everyone), and my cheer captain bro is pretty much my big brother at this point, but… no one can replace you. Obvs I miss Mom and Dad too, but… I don’t know, it’s not the same, you know? I’m not gonna get a lot of feelings about it because I’m TOUGH but I just wanted you to know that I miss you. Christmas can’t come soon enough. I mean, I’m doing ok, really. I thought I’d be doing a lot worse when I first came, and even after being home for a breaks, but really I’m fine. I just get kinda mopey when it’s close to coming home.

I hope the new moon tonight isn’t too bad for you. I know they can be kinda unsettling. Just remember you can take Mr. Woof Woof from my bed if you need him. I know sometimes something familiar can pull you out of the restlessness. And drink a lot of your valerian root tea. You know that’s always good for you too. There’s someone here we hear from on the new moon, and he’s having a hard time too. I don’t know if he’s upset because of the new moon or just in general, but just know that you’re not alone. Some rando here is trying to get through it too.

I’ll flip off the moon for you, like always. What a fucker.

Love ya ♥
