dear y/n,

i've made it to trinidad! it's amazing here. indescribable, really. it's been great, being out on the ocean, going places i've never even dreamed of. i wish you were here with me, though. i also wish i could still attend school. i must be very behind. i have to go, bash (he's a friend i made on the steamer) is calling me. i'll write again soon.

dear y/n,

do you know what mangoes are? they're almost better than apples. anyway, i had a very life changing encounter today. i helped a woman give birth! i've only done that with animals, but today i found out it works on a human too! her name is ruth. she's okay now, and her baby is healthy.

we visited bash's mother today. he hasn't seen her in a very long time, because he's been on the steamer for about ten years now. also, why aren't you writing to me? 

i miss you!

dear y/n,

i'm worried about you. are you getting these letters? i hope so. what if i'm writing to a random stranger?  anyway, trinidad was nice, but we're back on the ocean. all i know is that we're going to a nearby country.

dear gilbert,

thank you for your condolences about my father. i'm sorry it took me so long to write. i just didn't know if i had the words to say what i truly felt. i just can't help but feel neglected by the fact you chose to leave. you hurt me a great deal, gilbert. i don't think i could ever describe this feeling to you. it's too horrible.

-y/n
