The English alphabet has 26 letters. You’re important to me if you are one of them.

Four letters are occupied atm.

B

Instant BFF. Known since 2023.

I talk to B daily. I’m never self-conscious when I hang out with B. I can be myself when I’m with B.

B makes me happy. Everything is better with B.

Very funny. Slightly crazy. Very human. Full of heart.

B = BAI

O

One of the most brilliant living artists. Known since 2009.

O is the very definition of art. Absolutely crazy, and absolutely genius. Talent oozing out of being. A walking dream. Writes exceptionally well.

Full of magic.

O = Olek

P

BFF from Yale. Known since 1995. We don’t talk a lot, but P is always the person I’d call if I needed to talk to someone.

P often has mysterious travel plans. She never tells me what they’re for. I learned not to ask about them. LOL.

Genius. Crazy. We talk about anything and everything including the craziest theories that I have.

P = P

T

Instant BFF. Known since 2023.

The source. I probably could fill a whole day of crazyisgood tweets based on things he sends me daily. T replaces all the news media.

T = T32

I made a subdomain just for him, because I could never remember his domain:

t32.sml8.com

FAQ

Where is ___?

Some people don’t like to be known as a letter. An example is Alpe. Alpe likes to be Alpe and doesn’t like to be a letter.

Not being a letter doesn’t mean that you’re not important. It just means that you’re not a letter.

When A -> B, B does not necessarily -> A.
