dear emily,

congratulations on moving into your apartment! 

in a way, i am jealous of you; you are going through a pivotal transformation. it must hurt so good knowing you have yourself to look after and prioritize in this season of life. and at the end of it, you will be so much hotter, funnier, and more sure of yourself and what you want in life. you have the ability to decenter men and prioritize the one person that actually matters: you! 

you are in the first season of an hbo series where there is roommate drama, summer flings, and life lessons from work. you are the writer, producer, stylist, make-up artists, and set designer of every episode. and yes there is conflict and maybe a romance here and there, but i think the ending will be worth it because the main character (you again!) will look back one day on the pilot in awe about how far she’s come. 

selfishly, i am so happy you are not moving to chicago. you would not like the midwest car culture and brutal winters. and now, i get to be a side character in this epic series, and hopefully become a fan-favorite as well. 

i am manifesting the banishment of another mediocre man to the windy city, and for us to have a hot girl summer in the greatest place on earth. 

love,

olivia
