Knock, knock! (You had doors back then, right?)

How have you been? Surviving, I’m guessing. You’d be surprised how much people would love to hear that word now… or not! …I don’t know… It’s a little hard to not make a joke every second to lighten the mood here. Every year has it’s waves of highs and lows, but 25 years of this is just getting ridiculous - agree?

Turning away from the obvious, I hope that you’re enjoying everything tactile, textural and find every opportunity to wedge your face amongst it because screens are all you see or feel here (though feel is a strong word). You know that fake noise they put in those electric cars back then? Imagine a “pleasant” hum in the back of your head when interacting with everything… a single human-like feeling to keep our reality “together”.

I’m getting off tangent, again. I apologies. Honestly, I shouldn’t brag about this knowing you’ll never see it, but we’re finally moving Earth out of orbit and into the solar system with Sun option number 23! A quick trip of 100,000 light years made easy by the tech of today but we’ve already been through this thrice, so everyone is prepping again and just waiting for the sirens (that annoying hum in the head) to call us in.

The solar system of your year is the blue print. I don’t think we can ever recreate or find another like it, but humans are ever-adapting or can make things adapt to us. You’ll never find an English rose here but it’s smell can be replicated 100 times over now it’s coded. Again, nothing is tactile. We might as well be brains with a screen plugged in, eh? You’re not far from it! Haha

Writing this actually feels refreshing. No. Cleansing? No. Nostalgic, is that it? You would call it that, but if maybe I actually was lifting a finger to write this it would count.

Even so, it’s a glimpse of the past and a continued tradition, or maybe even human nature, to keep connected this way. The simple things do tend to stick.

To keep the grandiose of how I’m even able to send this back you so far in past alive, I should impart some wisdom: “Keep clean what you can see and sweep the dirt under the rug”.

Not to say you should ever hide some ugly truth. Instead, bare in mind what you see as a reflection of what others want you to see, and always check under their rugs. That soft, plush rug.
