Hey, fam! What’s up, my people? I dropped my phone on me and couldn’t reach you guys. I just saw all the messages. You're lit! I’m finna cry, no cap. I miss you a ton, and I can’t wait to hug y'all. You must’ve missed me too, but I’ve been working so much on my degree lately. I ain’t got no idea when I’ll be there, but if I was you guys, I’d be ready to meet Alice. She’s my girlfriend. We have some news that might surprise y’all. Hope everything’s lit on your end. I gotta bounce now.

Much love! Catch you later, fam. Peace out.
