dear hair,

thank you for growing long. i promise you'll get a little trim when we're back in california, but in the mean time, i wouldn't mind a few more inches.

love,

celeste

dear celeste,

you're a different person now.

you have a better understanding of who you are,

and this time it feels like you know your heart.

you have a past, and you always will.

remember that it makes you who you are,

and to look in the mirror when it feels like it hurts.

you're new.

there's still some old,

but you're new.

dear schnitzel,

i miss eating you everyday for dinner. please come back to me.

love,
celeste
