things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i’ve been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week
I used to teach high school, and I hosted an after-school guitar group with teachers and students. I gave up playing guitar for a long time due to personal issues, and I picked it up again in 2020 when a discord server had a “talent show.” I kept seeing this folded up paper in the bottom of my guitar case and assumed it was old song lyrics of mine, so I never bothered looking at it.
I recently got curious enough to look at it (yes, >3 years after first noticing it), and it was a letter from one of my former students wishing me farewell and saying the nicest things about me. They must have slipped it in there during one of the last jam sessions. I can’t believe how many years that was in there before I saw it. I wish I could be half the person described in the letter, but damn it made me smile.
As someone who goes out of their way to be nice to people but has only written two letters to teachers who’ve impacted me, you’re probably twice the person described in that letter.
Wow that’s amazing. Hold on to that!
For sure! It’s really made my week better.
