Dear Shermaine,
I’m turning 25 next month – can you believe it? I’m a quarter-century in. So much has changed, and at the same time nothing has changed. Life is whizzing by – they say time passes faster as you age.
But for you, I know some days feel like a lifetime. Especially those when you are hiding at the library before your CCA (co-curricular activity) – the library club, naturally – because your two friends couldn’t hang out with you.
