I found the school letter in the vegetable drawer

Dear Delyara, I was looking for cucumbers and found a folded letter about a trip instead. That felt exactly like my life. Home, school, food, money, timing, everyone’s needs — all mixed together in the wrong drawer. I stood there with the fridge open thinking how little separation there is now between the different parts of my life. Everything spills into everything else, and somehow I’m the one expected to remember where it all ended up. I put the letter on the counter, shut the fridge, and already felt behind.
