Congratulations! I am looking forward to when summer is fully fledged and I can get Everything, Beautiful from my local bookshop. I will likely also gather the courage to ask a librarian to preorder it so they can hold a copy on their shelves. I wish you the best as you deal with those ridiculously high walls (my home also has unfortunate paint colors, so I can commiserate with the struggle of making the walls friendlier) and the confusion of people <3.

I also wanted to let you know that I am striking out on the adventure of making a book, of really being a professional artist, and you and your work have made me more brave about the entire ordeal. I have a few more weeks until I graduate, then it is frighteningly blank pages and the bold earnestness that is required of trying.

This also is the best kind of also! I am so happy about this, and for you, and for the openness of not-knowing so many things that will come.

I love the idea of a summer becoming 'fully fledged'—that is such a good and interesting thought. Also there is certainly an understanding between people who live with and intensely notice the unfortunate paint colours!
