How do you do? I heard Oregon has some no school everyone stays home thing or something?? I’m sorry to hear. I hope you’re doing well at home, though I certainly can’t trust good things will happen. I hope this pandemic screws off soon. Are you gonna have any sleepovers in the meantime? It seems like the perfect opportunity. But then again, social distancing and all that.

I realized I said I would show you pictures of my Halloween costume but never did. What a reliable sister I am. Mom took all the pictures and I’m too lazy to ask for them right now but I basically looked like this:

I am Michelangelo incarnate

I wish photos of your Halloween costume were uploaded online, whatever it was. I’m sure it looked great! I could never even guess what it might’ve been, since I have no idea what you like anymore. (I hadn’t even heard of Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett, the authors of my Halloween costume character, the last time I saw you) What a sad and weird thing.

Anyway, I hope the whole coronavirus deal hasn’t badly affected you that much. I hope I can find something less sad to talk to you about next time. I love you.

With love,

Alice

How’s it going? My school got shut down for six weeks because of the coronavirus panic, so I won’t be allowed to leave until four weeks after the break has ended. I feel betrayed and angry because I thought I could leave regardless. I’m miserable there and mom thinks making a few extra friends will make it all worth it. It won’t. Has your school been shut down? If so, for how long?

Either way, I’m sure you’ve heard everything about the coronavirus already. How’s everything else going? Weather? Friends? Food? I’m doing terribly, lol. It’s raining right now, which isn’t really bad, I guess my friends are fine, and food’s chill. I just ran out of Reese’s puffs, I guess.

Anyway, I love you and miss you. I hope you’re doing well.

With love,

Alice

How do you do? I hope it’s going well. I worked for 14 hours today for school and was left none the wiser for it, so needless to say I’m not doing the best. How’s school going? When’s spring break? Mine’s about April 10th.

I was wondering, do you still take violin and dance? If you do, I’m sure you’re great at both of them by now. This calls for the culmination- dancing while violining, lol. That should be something that happens in the cirque de soleil. (Which I haven’t watched in years, so maybe it does happen.) Dream job.

Is it officially springtime there yet? I think it is here. There are two or three trees in our backyard. They were barren since December, but somewhat recently they turned out to be the most gorgeous cherry blossom trees. Absolutely beautiful! I’d take some pictures to send to you but it’s nighttime right now and I don’t think they’d look very good. The daffodils in our yard were so pretty; I think of them every time I see some. Remember when mom would make us pick them to put in a vase? That was nice, but it makes me sad every time I see daffodils. It’s just mom’s flower in my mind now.

I love and miss you and hope you’re having a lovely time whatever it is you’re doing. I hope to see you again someday.

With love,

Alice

How was your Valentine’s Day? No dramatic love letters on my part. My school’s giving me a week off, which is fortunate, but I’ve still been terribly stressed the entire time. Probably because I’m failing math. I almost tried to cheat on a test, but the teacher threatened me with unspecified consequences. I cried more than once out of guilt afterwards (and I’m still haunted by it). So, I guess don’t try cheating because if you fail the class, at least you’ll fail without morality based self loathing.

Something came to mind recently that I’d like to ask you- what happened to my things? Did mom throw them out? I do hope she didn’t, but I doubt my bed’s still up there across from your’s. Wasn’t my mattress known as the good one? I hope you got to steal it, lol. All of your stuff from storage hasn’t been thrown out. We’d never do that.

I hope all has been well. How are your friends? How is mom? I know nothing’s actually alright, but if you can distract yourself then at least you can pretend. I love you.

With love

Alice

How do you do? I’m watching The Oscars in the living room right now, did you watch them?

I started public school almost two weeks ago. It’s horrible! So horrible! I haven’t learned a thing the entire time, I’m so exhausted and stressed and don’t feel motivated to do anything anymore. Do you know about the Stanford prison experiment? This thing where they make us put our phones in containers numbered according to our seats, and the numbered seats in general, really resonated with a part of that experiment. It had to do with people being seen as numbers rather than people. I recommend you google it, it’s very interesting.

I hope it’s better at your school. Like, this isn’t what Taylor Swift told us would happen, where are the senior boys who wink at me and say ‘you know I haven’t seen you around before’? I feel cheated. But I’m allowed to leave once I make friends, but that’s hard, I’m not as socially adept as you. You are a social butterfly, and I am a social worm, hiding in the dirt. Have you made many new friends since the last time I saw you? I hope you have.

I love you and miss you. I miss you and the life we lived together. We have a lot of your things from storage, and we’re going to give them back as soon as possible. Remember the necklace you found on the street years ago that I stole? I still have it, and I’m sorry. All I want is for it to be returned, it’s rightfully yours.

With love,

Alice

How’s your January been going? I’ve found it to have gone so fast, yet so slow. A bad fact about being a teenager: now that you’re one, people are going to assume that you’re a phone-obsessed, troublemaking menace who likes the thought of the teenage parties from the movies. Don’t fall for this, you’re better than their stereotypes. From what I’ve looked at through one day in a public school, this stuff’s already happening. (I’m starting tomorrow, I was only doing some being shown around stuff. I’m very nervous lol) Anyways, enough with the unsolicited advice, lol. Just don’t let others determine your worth, they can’t tell the difference between fool’s gold and real gold.

On the topic of school, how’s yours been going? Hopefully not too stressful. At the public school I’m going to, there’s a second ‘midwinter’ break, which is ridiculous. Also a lot of no-school days thrown in for flavor. At this point I’m not learning anything. I hope your school doesn’t do this, but if they do, less homework for you.

I miss you very much and hope you’re having a wonderful time, whatever you’re doing. We opened a lot of storage boxes and you have a lot of things here. I hope you can get them soon. (There’s old toys, books, jewelry, and a big sis and little sis necklaces that we have both the parts of. (Also I got my tintin books!!)) I love you, and I’ll write to you soon.

With love,

Alice

Happy birthday, Soren! What did you get, everything you wanted? I’m sorry I’m not there to be with you, or to get you anything. I wish I drew something for you, I should’ve done that. Did you do anything special, or go somewhere? I wish we could have another party at Cowfish, with the donuts and the lights.

I’m sorry I’ve missed so many birthdays, it’s damn ridiculous and miserable and suchlike. I’m not even sure if we were there on January 2016, and nothing had even happened yet. Do you remember? I’m very sorry. Anyway, I love you very much and hope you got everything you wanted and more, since I couldn’t get it for you. I hope to see you again someday.

With love,

Alice

Happy new year! New decade, ow the pain, am I right? Can’t wait until the stock market crash of 2029 sends us into The Great Depression 2: Electric Boogaloo. It’s your birthday soon, what do you want? I’m sorry I missed double digits, your golden birthday, and now becoming a teenager. Perhaps we can hope for 18? I love you. I’ll write on your birthday.

With love,

Alice

I’d be lying if I said this was a happy occasion. I would’ve never believed myself if I told myself in 2016 I wouldn’t see you again until after the end of the decade. So much I wouldn’t believe would happen in between our next meeting has happened and it’s terrible and ridiculous. Four Halloweens, four Christmases, four Hanukkahs, a new cat, hell, I learned to draw since the last time we spoke. (And, by god, that stuff’s hard)

I wrote a fan fiction in October-November of 2016. It feels so nostalgic and old and badly done. Yet, the last time I saw you was an older occasion than that. Isn’t it awful? There’s so much you don’t know of me and so much I don’t of you. The last time you saw me I was obsessed with Aphmau, and you were watching Ihascupquake. Whoever you replaced that phase with, the first time and the second and the third, I was never there to tolerate. (But, on the bright side, you never saw my emo phase at least? Well, aside from in these letters. But then again, who gives a crap)

Anyways, ranting aside. I miss you terribly and want to know everything I’ve missed in between the large gap of time. I love you and hope the new year brings all of the happiness and things you could ever ask for.

With love,

Alice

Happy Christmas! And Hanukkah! What did you get? Did you like what you got? I got a lot of cool stuff. I got so many socks and put all of them on at once. Honestly I think I could’ve worn them as regular shoes and been fine. None of the pictures will load and that makes me so sad.

I also got way too many bath bombs to handle, a hover board, a pillow cat plushie thing, and too many pairs of socks to count. I put them all on at once. My feet were still cold.

I really wish we could’ve spent the holidays together. I know it’s been the fifth Christmas apart. I’m so sorry. I love you.

With love,

Alice

I hope you’re having a lovely day so far. Can’t wait to get presents tomorrow! What’d you ask for? What have you gotten for Hanukkah so far? I love you.

With love,

Alice

I hope it’s been a wonderful holiday season so far, it’s cool that Hanukkah and Christmas fall on the same day this year. Grandma got me a compass with Bigfoot on it. What did you get? Did you make latkes, or play with a dreidel and geld?I hope Hanukkah is wonderful this year, I love you very much. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, I’m sure I won’t when it’s another one without you. The holidays are supposed to be about family or something, but instead of you I have to endure annoying relatives and Aaron’s friends. But as an extrovert, you probably wouldn’t find that too strenuous, lol.

With love,

Alice

We’ve just moved into the new house yesterday, it’s very weird. The TV isn’t finished yet so I’m watching The Sound of Music on cable, it feels odd lol. How have you been? Pearl is scared, and Aaron’s cat Bill isn’t. We got a Christmas tree today, here it is.

The present under it was a pinkie pie ornament from Laura, which I opened and put on the tree soon after I took this picture. She got it in honor of you, and the ‘where’s the pinkie pie’ video.

The family flickr is public so you can see it whenever you want. I was messaged on Pinterest by an account called Yee Hee who said they knew you and you wanted to see it. Do you know who they are?

I miss you dearly, I hope all is well. Have a wonderful Christmas! I’ll try to message on the day before or the day of, but I might be too busy because of grandma coming. I love you.

With love,

Alice

How has your December been so far? I still haven’t finished my Christmas list, which I really should finish, lol. Did you get an advent calendar? I haven’t gotten one this year. What do you want for a Christmas and Hanukkah? All I want is a moment alone from the social responsibilities of seeing our family, The visit from Grandma is coming and I know it. That’s why I much prefer Hanukkah and Halloween to Christmas, there’s no social expectations like ‘making your hair neat’ or ‘taking needless judgment kindly’. I’m sorry if this offends you though, I know you’re a family person and probably miss the Share side of the family as I do the Mikell. Hopefully someday you’ll dread Grandma’s visit instead of missing it.

Anyway, mom’s been doing a lot of packing for moving. My room is covered in boxes. I can’t believe I’m going to live in a full house again, not just an apartment. It has carpet, Soren. Carpet. In the floors. Scandalous. Disgusting design choice. Don’t they know that’s for your friends’ houses, not your’s? Carpet is for sleepovers only. A lot of the floor is wood though, though nothing will ever beat the eternally wooden floors of our house. The kitchen was something else though, right? I wish I could remember, but I think it’s something different. Not floor or carpet.

Anyways, sorry for going on such an odd tangent. I love you and wish you the best of holidays. I do hope you’ll get a real tree, and not that stupid plastic one in the garage or something. I don’t think we’ll get a tree because of all the moving, so either way you’re a step ahead from me.

With love,

Alice

Happy belated Thanksgiving, I didn’t think to write, and I’m very sorry. I was terribly busy having dinner and thinking about how much I dislike the holiday, but excuses are meaningless. How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you had a fun time. The pumpkin pie we had was actually spicy for some reason so sometime we’re just gonna buy one.

I hope Fall has been a lovely season. Now, with hope, we could get snow for days like every beloved Christmas movie. I hope to see you again someday. I love you. <3

With love,

Alice

Mom’s probably buying a house with Aaron, her new boyfriend (not the other one we know), we just went to the inspection thing. There are three bedrooms, so if you ever live here you could have your own room. It’ll feel weird to live in a regular house again, but I’m glad it’s at least happened, even though it’s not closer to home. It’s on Vashon Island, which is a short ferry ride away from Seattle.

How are you doing back home? I hope all is well. Are you doing anything for thanksgiving? Mom and I are going to Emily’s house. Wish I was with you.

With love,

Alice

I’m sorry I didn’t write on Halloween, I was busy most of the day. School, trick or treating, barely anytime to use my iPad. Either way, I wish I could’ve spoken to you that day. How was Halloween? What did you go as? Who’d you trick or treat with, if anyone? I hope it was fun! I got so much candy, I went with my friend from Girl Scouts. (If I didn’t mention, yes I’m a Girl Scout. Very un-extraordinary. Mostly meetings.)

I went to Disneyland the Saturday following, then California adventure on Sunday with mom and Laura. It was fun, per usual, I wish you’d have been able to come, to any of the Disneyland trips since we were little, really. California Adventure was rather boring, they took out the bug land. I felt like I was betraying you when I went on Soarin’ over the World, though it was fun. Someday we should go together, as I’m sure you’re tall enough now.

I hope all feels well, and that you had a splendid Halloween, soon we’ll get thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas. Alone, I know, but not always, hopefully.

With love,

Alice

It’s almost Halloween. What are you dressing up as? I’ll show you pictures of my costume after Halloween. I hope you have fun! It’s probably the last year I’ll be able to trick or treat. At least you can buy candy, lol.

It sucks we haven’t gotten to trick or treat together since 2014. Weird, isn’t it? I guess being in Europe in 2015 is on me. I hope it was fun.

Mom’s thinking of getting another cat! This girl we know, Emily, who’s our biological half sibling, her mom has a friend who’s cat just had kittens, so we might take one of them. There’s four, and mom really likes one who’s calico. I’m not sure about names yet, if we got a cat what would you want it’s name to be?

I miss you dearly, I hope we can reunite someday, when you can and if you want to.

With love,

Alice

There’s a lot to say about what happened the day before yesterday.

I’m sorry I scared you. I don’t know why you were scared or what you were told to make you scared and go away. Please just know I’d never try to hurt you, or manipulate you, or anything suchlike. I’m still just me, as you are you, though much has changed. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to talk to you in three years. I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry, if I’d known I would’ve never left. I didn’t think mama wouldn’t let me come back. I don’t know if you feel the same, what you’ve been thinking, anything. You deserve to be happy.

I meant everything I said outside. Did you hear me? I recorded it on my phone if you want to hear, though it’s completely understandable if you don’t. Just know that if mama’s said I don’t care about you, or anything like that, it’s not true.https://sorenmikell.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/img_1766-2.mov

I know that it’s awful. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I hope you’re thinking something happy. I love you so, so much.

With love,

Alice

October’s almost here. Halloween time! I know it’s a little early, but have you thought of what you want to be yet? Mom’s gonna let me get two costumes because I’m indecisive. I’ll have to pick who to dress up as on the day of Halloween though. I’ll be going as either Aziraphale or Crowley from the tv show/book Good Omens. What shows or books have you been reading? Last time we saw each other, I remember watching Phineas and Ferb and The Witches. Those are both really fun.

I’m not really sure what else is new to say. I wish I still knew what you liked. Do you still listen to Taylor Swift? I haven’t listened to her whole new album, but I like Me!, You Need to Calm Down, and Lover. I like the direction she’s taking with her music! Very fun.

I hope all feels well with you. Love to you always.

With love,

Alice

How do you do today? School just started, so that’s a bummer. But at least the holidays are coming. Another one without you. Someday, perhaps, we could share one again.

How’s 7th grade been treating you? I hope it hasn’t been too hard. I don’t remember what math I was doing in 7th grade, but I hope to assure you with saying that you barely remember the strain afterwards. I also hope you have some new friends in middle school. It sounds weird not being by every kid we grew up with and only them, even if most of them are still there.

I do wish I knew more of what to talk about. I don’t know what you like anymore, like I can’t speak to anyone but the Soren of the past. I do wish I knew how you are now. This one-sided conversation gets a little lonely sometimes.

Here’s a few pictures of the cat to keep you company. She’s delightful.

https://sorenmikell.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/img_1528.movLove to you always, Soren. I’m always here for you.

With love,

Alice

I’ve gotten back from my vacation in Ohio. It was really something, to put it lightly. It’s very flat, physically and mentally. Our family too is rather something. (Uncle terry has some racist and sexist overtones that rather concern me, but then again what do you expect from a white guy from a state who’s baseball team is literally called the Indians) I did like seeing great grandma though, who was lovely.

How have you been doing? Has school started again yet? A few of my online classes have started, but the rest of school hasn’t yet. You’re going into 6th or 7th grade if my memory serves me correctly. I hope it’s fun! I don’t remember what I did either of those grades honestly, aside from a few books I read.

Have you seen the Steven Universe movie yet? I found it great! I’m working on a drawing of the antagonist right now. (Characterization spoilers?)I’m sorry if you’re not into the show anymore, but it’s the only thing I know we’ve had in common since it happened.

I love you, I hope you have a lovely fall. Halloween is coming. <3

With love,

Alice

Today I’m in New Hampshire just after Mary’s (our sperm donor’s mom) ash scattering. I met a lot of our cousins, and they’re quite the typical New England dwellers. A guy named Doug just told me outright he was racist in such a casual manner I couldn’t tell if he was joking or not. Absolutely wild.

I think you would’ve liked the event, before people said a few words for Mary and scattered her ashes we had dinner outside and hung out. I played cards with a girl a year older than me and a few cousins I don’t know much about. Also a game about werewolves. I wish you could’ve come. Have you seen any of the Mikells since we’ve been gone? I wish I had, none of them will talk to me. I tried texting Pappy recently but he never replied. I hope you’ve gotten to.

I love you dearly. I hope all is well.

With love,

Alice

How’s it going? I’m back from Phoenix, but I’m going to somewhere on the east coast on Wednesday, then going to Cleveland to hang out with Grandma and the rest of our family. Until then I’m lying on the couch like the lazy person I am. I wish you were here.

How’s your summer been going? I just got back from a summer camp where we learned about geology right next to Mount St Helens. It was pretty fun, we did some science stuff and had a dance party. Have you been to any summer camps? Are they any fun? They still make us sing those awful, awful songs.

Last night I had a dream our house had a lot of peony flowers in pots outside. Does mom still have all of those plants? I know it’s been so long since I’ve been there.

I miss you dearly. I hope all is somewhat well. I love you.

With love,

Alice

How’s it going today? I’m on vacation at Laura’s house in Phoenix. Did you know she has some old things you made for her? They make me miss you a lot.You were so sweet to her. I miss when we were all together here on vacation. Have you been to Arizona since I haven’t been able to see you?

Nothing too exciting has happened while I’ve been here. I’ve been to the sugar bowl twice, and aunt Karen and I went to the store with all the rocks in the rock-shaped hole. There was a monsoon, and Laura and I went to a Walmart parking lot to stand in the rain (it wasn’t raining outside her house).

Mom isn’t here because she has to work at a building in Seattle. (Fancy that, mom not working at her computer!) I wish you could be here, Soren.

I love you to heaven and back, dearest. I hope for nothing but to see you again someday.

With love,

Alice

Happy Fourth of July! Did you get any fireworks? I haven’t, but we still have the little snap things you can throw on the ground. We probably won’t use them though, lol.

Do you remember the last time we spend the Fourth of July together? I wish I did. It must’ve been 2015, I reckon. The only Fourth of July I remember with you was one where we set fireworks off in the church across the street’s parking lot. But only foggy glimpses, sadly. I hope you remember better. I miss it all dearly.

I hope this holiday is full of colorful fireworks and fun. I wish I could be there with you. <3

With love,

Alice

How’s it going? School ends for me very soon, in 3 days! I’m doing well on that part. I hope school ends early for you as well!

I hadn’t thought of it before, but do you have any new pets? I doubt Puddles is still alive, did you get any new fish? I have Pearl, as you know. She’s darling. You should get a cat! Name it Garnet, and we’ll have Steven Universe and our birthstones. Wouldn’t that be wild? 3rd cat, Amethyst. Fang will always be the best, though. <3

By the way, have you seen Taylor Swift’s new song? I love it. The special effects and the cats in the video were awesome! We should listen to it together someday.

I miss you so so much, I hope the weather’s sunny over there. All the better for hanging out in our backyard. Love you <3<3<3

With love,

Alice

How are you doing? How was Mother’s Day? I got mom a card and some lotion I made at a Girl Scout camp I went to this weekend. It was pretty fun! It was called St Albans, mom thinks it’s one Terah goes to. I like the food and the activities, but we had to wake up soooo early. 7 am, then 6 the day we left. It was awful.

Do you remember the cups we made for both of our moms years ago?? I think that was for Mother’s Day, but I don’t remember enough. They were cute.

I hope everything’s going alright, I miss you so much! Love you <3

With love,

Alice

P.s Here’s a picture of our cat that mom took while I was at camp. She looks so angry.

I hope you had fun today!! Did you find eggs at home like usual? I remember one or two years we went to the park and looked for eggs there or something?? I don’t remember exactly. It was always fun to get the candy and money! I hope today was great, I miss you so much. <3 You’re the best sister ever.

With love,

Alice

How’s it going? Easter’s next Sunday! I wish I was there with you. I hope you have fun, I’m not sure if I can when you’re not here. I love you! Remember when mom (Jess) had that nightmare about the Easter bunny when she was a kid? Creepy. I hope you get lots and lots of candy. I think the Easter bin is in storage, right? I don’t remember, just a thought. I love you so much.

With love,

Alice

Happy April fools day! Do you remember when I put toilet paper in your shoes at night one year? That was pretty fun. I don’t remember either of us doing anything any other April Fool’s though, do you?

How’s it been going lately? I’ve started taking an animation class! Today I had to animate a flower turning into a dog. How’s violin practice going? Are you still learning it? If you are, I’m sure you’re wonderful at it! Practice makes perfect, y’know. I love you, have a great day.

With love,

~Alice

How are you doing today? I’m going on spring break next week. I don’t remember what we used to do on them, I wish I did. Do you?

Mom told me a lot of schools were letting out people for summer break WAY late. Like, July late. That’s awful. If that happens to you, I personally recommend blasting the “There’s 104 days of summer vacation” part of the Phineas and Ferb theme song on repeat in the hallways. Because there’s 104, not 4.

I wish I could remember what we did during summer break too. A lot of sleepovers I guess. And the backyard. Remember the egg game we used to play on the trampoline? It was so fun.

How’s violin practice going, by the way? I bet you’re amazing.

I hope all’s going well. I love you!

With love,

Alice

How’s it hanging? I know it’s been a while, I’m sorry. Did you see the Frozen 2 trailer?? I can’t wait!! I wish I could see it with you.

Have you seen the new Steven Universe episodes yet?? Oh my goodness they were amazing!! Steven really is himself and no one can take that away from him.

I love you and miss you so much. If you can’t use your Pinterest, try Facebook or mom’s phone number,

With love always,

Alice

How’s it going? God, I wish I was there. Are you having a party at Cowfish? I love that place. Happy new year btw!! I’m sorry I couldn’t spend the last with you.

What do you want this year? I’m sure your friends got you some great stuff. Have you seen the new episodes of Steven Universe? They were nuts!! Can’t wait for the crystal gems to wreak havoc on homeworld.

It sucks I can’t be there again, but maybe next year we can celebrate together. I love you, happy birthday!

With love,

Alice

P.s if mom made you some weird vegan almond butter cake with no sugar I will personally throw sugary cakes through your window because you don’t deserve that

Hey, just got some time at the end of the day to write, and all I have to say is: merry christmas!! I hope you got everything you wanted and had loads of fun! I love you!!

With love,

Alice

Well, it’s Christmas Eve buuuuuut-

IT COUNTS

Merry Christmas!! What did you get? I’m hoping for more hair dye. What did you want?

I would’ve written on Christmas Day, but grandma’s here and I doubt I’ll have the time, or forget.

By the way, is mom still using that weird fake tree?? That thing’s awful, I hope you have a real tree. I got a really tiny tree that hurts to touch, I call it the Pain Spike. It’s not pleasant to touch but it means well.

I hate to have spent the FOURTH (can you believe that) Christmas without you, it sucks to no end. Let’s try to have hopes for 2019, maybe it’ll be better. Love you, Soren.

With love,

Alice

Merry almost-Christmas!! I’ll try to write when the times comes around, hopefully I’ll have the chance. What’d you ask for? Are you still using the weird plastic tree? That thing was odd lol

Also, happy belated Hanukkah! I got hair dye, it was supposed to be red but turned out orange oopsieI have become The Spirit Of Halloween, who needs christmas (also this pic sucks lol)

Not sure if I’ve mentioned before, but I’ve written you if you still use Pinterest! I love your Steven Universe board. I can’t wait for the new episodes of the show soon!!

With love,

Alice

Hey Soren! I’m so so sorry I haven’t written in a while.

How was Halloween? What were you? I was a singer I like, I’ll show you a few pictures.Pearl didn’t wanna look at the camera lol

If you can, please send me some pictures too! I’d really love to see what you were.

Christmas is coming up as well, what do you want for that? I know it’s impossible to get you something, but I just wanna know. I really do wish I could, though. Hopefully another year.

With love,

Alice

It’s almost Halloween!! It sucks we haven’t been able to trick or treat together in so long. I hope you find a good neighborhood with lots of big candy bars and stuff, I think there are a few places like that. You’re probably gonna be trick or treating with Layla, right? Lucia? Are you guys still close?

By the way, I mentioned in my first letter that I’m learning to draw, so I figured I’d share some drawings with you! Here are a few. (Steven Universe spoilers by the way, if you don’t know who Pearl’s former owner was yet then I don’t recommend looking)Charlotte!! You probably remember Making Fiends, right? The whole series is on YouTube if you wanna check it outI love drawing Rose Quartz sooo much, her hair looks so fluffy and I love her dressThe first time we saw Pink Diamond, I was so surprised she looked different from Blue and Yellow. I love the way she looks, though! Blue! She’s a really interesting villain, and I loved her and Yellow’s scene with What’s the Use of Feeling, Blue?Drawing space is sooo fun. I’m glad the app I use has grass and plant brushes lolPearl!!! I love her so much!!! Did I tell you about the cat we got? Her name is Pearl! Pearl Garnet Mikell. You’ll love her, she’s really playful!I drew this right after the Pearl drawing, it’s Pink again!! I loved that episode, what do you think about the whole thing with Rose and Pink?I followed half a Bob Ross video for this, it’s probably the best nature scene I’ve ever done, I love how it turned out.

Can you tell I like drawing Rose- this took so long lolThere’s this cool brush on my drawing app that looks like a pencil and I love it so muchDrew a character I made up as a witch for Halloween!

I think that’s too many but I wanted to share- I’m 99% sure they’re in order from oldest to newest.

I wish I could’ve shown these when they were first finished, but someday I’ll be able to! Love to you always, sis.

With love,

Alice here, how’s it going? I’m watching YouTube right now, just wanted to say hey. Halloween’s coming up, do you know what you’re going to be yet? I’m going as a vampire. I’m gonna stretch out trick or treating until I’m too tall to pass as young enough. How about you? Love and miss you!

How’s it going? I just finished up with school today, and went to Starbucks. Have you been to Starbucks since I’ve last seen you? I know mom thinks it’s unhealthy or something. How could she, there’s a multigrain bagel! Haha.

With love,

It’s your sister Alice here. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, and it makes me so sad, I miss you so so much!! (*cough*icryalot*cough) How are you doing? Mom and I are watching Gabby Douglas Story right now.

I love you so so so much!! I really miss you, I don’t know why mom doesn’t want us to see you.

Grandma told me you liked Steven Universe, have you seen the new episodes? They were amazing!! I can’t wait for new ones, and the movie Cartoon Network announced! Maybe we could watch them together someday. Who’s your favorite character? Mine’s- oh goodness I love them all

What things are you into nowadays? From what I remember, you were doing dance in 2016, right? Or basketball? And violin! If you’re still practicing, I’m sure you’re really really good now. I started learning to draw in September of 2016, and there’s been a lot of improvement since then! Do you still enjoy cooking as well? I remember those little pizzas you made me on my birthday. They were really good! Do you still like shopkins? Mom and I have one of your’s for some reason, a melting ice cube we call Cubey. Would you like it back?

With love,
