CHECK MATE MOTHER F**CKER

3. 25

Dear Sienna, 

Have you ever played mad-libs before? 

   Mom, Dad, Rocky   and I are in   Sedona  :  our new    favorite place to visit  . 

Apparently, the quaint little city is known for its vortex’s: a swirl of energy that helps you find peace, calm, and healing      … or  whatever…

I just hope its   magic   sticks because yo’   girl   has been needing   some of dat  these last couple of  weeks   : these   eye bags  are getting  outrageous

  _    _

 Dad’s best friends from New Orleans  , (M and M), tagged along with us for the trip and we’ve successfully spent the last two days drinking  ,  hiking   , and drinking some more. You would be    happy   to hear how   Rocky   has been having the time of   his   life . People giggle as he walks by strutting himself throughout the  trails.  It’s cute to watch:    he’s   experiencing what it means to be        his    version   of:     free         . 

The    old people   have gone to bed already and it’s only  9:00   pm   …  lame .  

I’m not (     really     ) mad about it    though      . 

Our    air b * b    has a rooftop balcony that sits off to the side of the house and has its own private entrance  , so when I’m ready,  Rocky  and I can quietly sneak back inside and honestly it’s kind of     nice     to have some  alone   time underneath the stars   .  .  . I think mom and dads room  is   below (  us  )  so I’m    not too  worried about making noise that bothers them because …  

  lol    . 

DAD ,  GOT SO STONED   tonight that he forgot  how to walk down the stairs! HAHAHA …  hhhhHSSS!

         Mom   was videotaping. 

                I   saw   it  . 

In his defense, he was   trying   to keep up with a few (more than occasional),    stoners     and    smoked   one   h   i   t     too many. 

I can still hear their  childish giggles    reverberating around (us) like a   blanket   , keeping me    warm    as I write to you now from the    chilly outdoors  .  The stars are so     vibrant    tonight and there’s definitely something different about the air    up  (?)     here.   It's    crisp  : it feels   new   and   clean     with every   breath   ,and I honestly think that it could be            (  momentarily ) curing me with its:    ‘‘ ‘good vibes’’ 

I got a new rock from    Morrocco  , I named him     Nelson    . 

Their   friendship reminds me of the ones I’ve created for  myself→ you know, when your friends become your family.. .That’s who M and M are to dad : 

they’re the family he chose aw :)  not lame.   .    . 

I have one of those too, we named us:   ( the )      T*rta Running Club    …         

 Wait .                           real quick.

LET’S:              TALK ABOUT My FRIENDS s s   

They ‘ight   .

Just kidding. They’re :     F - ucking      hilarious  . 

We did     ******’s     the other night and we couldn’t      stop laughing .    

It’s    hard.  to find friends     like       these… …   …       

And, I love  them. .                       . (period)                                         (hi   tracy  !)

Nights like  t his.    , remind me of all the nights I’ve gotten to share with them,

 camped out   ( ,,’)                      dancing underneath the desert stars.           :

 the sunsets  always look like  c  o tt on candy  and I haven’t stopped                               s     milin    g

We’re going to        Coachella     (again) this year & I can’t fucking        wait  .
