Dear bestfriend,

DEAR BEST FRIEND,

    Correct me if I’m wrong ( you always do ) : as I recall, you once suggested ‘mellow jazz’ as a method for my…self-restraint issues. To this day, I’m still not entirely certain what mellow jazz constitutes, but I do believe I witnessed it, or something like it, last night. Not bad, however, I’m not convinced it’s enticing enough to keep the other guy at bay. 

    If you only knew what I’ve been up to these days.

I’m content where I am now. Not the same as the comfort the tower offered, maybe. But content all the same. You’re part of the reason I made here– difficult as it might be to comprehend, that’s actually a compliment. Okay, half a compliment. 

    I met a woman. She doesn’t know about me yet; God knows I’m not ready for that. I feel cautiously optimistic about it so far, though. All I can say about her is that she wouldn’t like you a damn bit, which tells me she must have a good head on her shoulders, right?

    Saw you on the news. Much as I try to avoid the media, it’s always catching up with me. I won’t bother to voice my opinion on the matter, because you already know where we differ. Should you ever find yourself in too much trouble, just remember: we did a lot of harm to this world– we all know that. But not all of it was bad. Some of it was good ( I think ).

Unfortunately, I was the one contributing most of the harm. 

Send my worst to Thaddeus. Let Natasha know I’m okay, and that it’s better this way.

Stay annoying. I know you will.
