Dear Mr. Beanpole,

It's NYE and I'm still in Lock Willow, and I just realized something: I don't know where you are! It may already be the New Year for you, and I want you to know that I'm thinking of you today, too.

Happy New Year, Mr. B.!

My time here at Lock Willow has been great. Javier has been great company. I think we'll spend the evening together, but I'm not sure what the plan is. I'll report back!

His company has been good in a few different ways. On one hand, it's just nice to spend time with someone more or less my age and feel like I'm actually on holiday. You know, the type where you have time to be lazy and chill and go with the flow; usually, breaks were a time to catch up with work. Now I get someone asking me, "What do you feel like doing?" and if I answer, "Wanna read a book at the beach?" he doesn't question it. He just grabs a blanket and off we go! I don't think I'd ever been on holidays like this before.

On the other hand, it helped me understand something crucial about my social skills.

(This pause is to build suspense. Welcome to my evil side.)

Okay, okay, I'll tell you.

It's much easier to feel like there are no issues with my social skills when I'm spending time with someone I click with.

In other words, maybe the problem wasn't me to start with. Maybe the whole point is to find someone you fit with, and understand you'll have to meet a lot of people before you find the right ones.

There is so much I could say about Javier, but he just came into the library room I'm in, and it would be weird to keep talking about him to you while he's sitting nearby. I'll be back in San Francisco soon; I'll finish my thoughts then. Maybe waiting until then makes more sense too, because I'll have the time and distance to process it all more. You'll get better thoughts that way! I bet you're letting out a big sigh of relief, that you don't have to read my stream of consciousness, unfiltered.

You're welcome to reply back if you don't want me to tell you more about this discovery. You're welcome to send me an email and tell me if you know Javier, since you run in the same circles and sometimes I panic when I think maybe you know him . Maybe reading my thoughts about him feels too weird to you! Alternatively, you can also go right ahead and tell me if you'd feel awkward if I talked about feelings a lot more than I usually do.

You have about three days. And that's a threat! Mwuahaha.
