Dear, Birch

Sorry I didn't message sooner.

I wasn't really sure what to say.

Then my parents decided to be especially douchey.

Dear, fuckificare

It's okay, I get it.

I was a little bit worried, but my mom actually got home early so she made me talk with her.

I say it like that, but it was kind of nice…

Dear, Birch

That's good.

Did you talk to her about how she acts around you?

You have mentioned that she doesn't really help much.

Dear, fuckificare

No…

She's not really home often, you know?

And I know it wouldn't end well if I brought it up…

I don't want to mess up what little time I do have with her, you know?

Dear, Birch

Yeah, I get that.

But you're gonna have to.

It's probably better if you actually know what you want to say and stuff though…

If you don't tell her your relationship is only gonna get worse.

I will. I will talk to her about it.

Really.

So.

Are you not feeling well..?

You messaged later than usual…

Dear, Birch

I'm doing fine.

I just decided that I wanted to sleep in today.

I do that sometimes.

Like a mental health day.

It hasn't.

Which sucks, ngl.

Of course my parents aren't really helping matters…

Is there anyway I can help..?

Dear, fuckificare

Oh, okay.

Umm…

I kind of applied for a job..?

Like, not really.

But I guess my mom told someone she knows from work about how much I like nature.

Apparently he works at the state park nearby and offered me a job for the summer?

I just have to fill out an application.

I should hear back from him in a couple of days…

Which is cool I guess…

I don't think I'll do good at all...

Dear, Birch

Hey, take deep breaths.

In for five, hold for four, out for three.

Keep breathing.

You're fine.

It'll be alright.

You'll be just fine.

Okay?

The guy might not even decide to hire you, right?

Dear, fuckificare

You are NOT worthless.

Anyone who has ever said that about you is a liar.

You really have helped me a lot.

Honestly, at this point I would consider you my best friend.

That sounds stupid because we haven't really been talking for too long…

But really.

You've already helped so much.

No.

I get it.

You're kind of my only friend.

So I guess that makes you my best friend too.

Fuck…

That really is pathetic, huh?

It sucks that the only person who's willing to talk to me is someone who doesn't even really know me.

Well…

I guess you know me better than anyone else.

But, not for real.

You know?

I don't think you're pathetic.

But we're in the same boat, so I'm not sure how much my opinion really counts…

If neither of us can actually make friends in the real world though, maybe it's a good thing that we found each other online…
