How did summer get so close? Time is flying by, leaving no time to really feel the seasons. The other day, I thought about asking how you were doing, but stopped myself. I had a feeling you were doing well.

Even though my daily life is hectic, the fragrance of life is getting stronger every day. Looking back, I'm so grateful for many things, but I've also experienced some strange and peculiar people and events. But you know, right? What can't kill you makes you stronger. I'm ready for all my stories to be told, from the worst moments to the best.

You remember, right? That moment when we said that all the things we experience will come alive in our writing? That day isn't far off.

The passing seasons will soon ripen into a sultry summer. This summer feels like it will be a time for us to mature a little more. Both you and I are looking forward to the news we can share with each other.

Unfortunately, I have to return to my busy daily life now. The early summer sun asks me to take a break, but I have some things I have to do. I hope your days are filled with gentle happiness.

P.S.

Remember the liar's wife I told you about? Imagine setting her as the villain in a novel. I wonder what expression you'd make. As you said, that woman is really bad. But, you know, her flaws are so helpful in shaping the villain's actions in the novel.

It still stings to think about the pain she caused me. But I'm a writer. Inspiration for creativity is hidden everywhere around us. We always have the freedom to decide whether to leave our wounds as just wounds or to sublimate them into art. And I think this process is part of the whole process of making life into art.

Oh, you asked me about the terrible Eye Doctor story? I'll tell you about that next time.
