"Dear Harvey,



I told you this past week has been the best week of my life. I wanted to tell you why, and to write it out for myself so that I could never forget how I'm feeling right now. The band Aberdeen has a lyric that I always go back to. The song starts, 'Let's go outside/it's sunny in California.' And what this speaks of to me is the notion that if there's brightness and beauty and joy, somewhere, that these things are possible, anywhere."
