Dear Friends and Family,
After spending three years spent toiling away in L.A., it's amazing how my adolescent angst towards my hometown has become nostalgic admiration. Maybe it was just high school that was a drag, and not so much the locale; it seems like every day is a rediscovery of how beautiful nature can be, how kind people can be, and how therapeutic it is to be surrounded by majestic trees, the serene shimmer of the bay, warm smiles, and the much appreciated absence of textbooks, alarm clocks, smog, gang-related shootings, non-gang-related shootings, etc.
Regardless, I miss my dear friends at USC, especially the activities related to the Spoon Drawer, Trojan Men, Theta Xi, and Dayplayer. From what I've heard, you're all carrying on in accordance to your high standards of excellence. Either that means that I've left a self-sustaining legacy of brilliance and greatness, or I'm expendable and obsolete. Legacy, it is.
Anyway, I'm appreciating life, and I'm just trying to enjoy every day here in Maryland, because who knows when I'll get to live here again?
Love,
Tien
