t h e o . Serious answer? This is gonna sound super self help-y, but I've just found that being miserable or grumpy takes way more energy than just being chill. That's just my experience though, YRMV. You're so smart, let's. Hahaha, you're too kind, seriously, you'll make me blush! God, imagine? I don't think it'll happen but it's sure nice to imagine. How's the new music coming along?

L I L Y I like it, it's a strong mindset. Definitely had to google the acronym though, who knew! I'll google a 5th grade science project, consider it done. Then we'll make slime. If it does, you're not allowed to ditch the complex without a year's notice so we can properly mourn as good neighbors. Better though, actually! Had a little more time to write and reflect and get my head on straight, and my brother being around also never hurts. Excited to come back and put a few things together, get ready to hear the same songs 500 times.

t h e o . You don't spend enough time on Reddit Lils! Why didn't we think of that sooner?! Of course, I forgot that your whole family is musical, that's so cool. I legit can't wait to.

L I L Y I spent like 5 hours on the Tenet discussion thread the other day - still don't understand. I think that was his point. Our brains were fried! And they're an added bonus for sure, we're all like in house producers haha. Dinner and a concert, that's my treat!

[theo lovett]

t h e o . That movie gave me bad vibes, so much so that I didn't watch it. Not the energy I needed in 2020. That's such a treat, it'll be like old times but better! I'll owe you more than a few groceries.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y A total mind fuck, you were good to avoid. It's like all the pandemic movies - I'm living it, don't need to watch films about it! Nah, just be a willing fan. Cheer and clap like a concert, I miss them so much.

[theo lovett]

t h e o . It's so weird how they're managing to churn those movies out, it's like when they made tons of 9/11 movies just after the fact. Who wants to watch that? God me too. Easily done.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y NO ONE. Still!!! Sometimes I still forget, is that weird? Everything's been closed forever but I still think 'oh let's go to the movies' sometimes.

[theo lovett]

t h e o . Same! Or I'll think of someone I haven't seen for a while and I'll go to text them to see if they wanna hang out, only to remember we can't. Sucks.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Or the like, wild guilt I felt going home for the holidays. Any other year I'd never blink twice! None of our future kids can complain about shit, I swear. We've lived through one too many historical things for us not to outdo them.

[theo lovett]

t h e o . Don't feel bad, you did the right thing. I think at some point you've gotta balance your own happiness with minimal risks, you know? You can be sensible without putting literally everything on hold. Jesus, it's one history day after another, right?

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y It's not like I'm out here partying either, I barely leave my house! No riots for me. Yeah. I'm tired. Get this man outta my life.

[theo lovett]

t h e o . Seriously, don't feel bad. Almost at the finish line!

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Seeing as this is coming from a medical professional, I'll trust your advice. Thank god. I'm going to get so drunk that day, can't even wait for the hangover.

[theo lovett]

t h e o . I might just be trying to make myself feel less guilty too. A new era. Things can only go up.
