TO MY PEN PAL - by Izrplays

Hey, It’s been a while since my last letter. I’m sorry I went quiet. Life has just been... a lot lately, in a good and weird way. How are you? How is work? How is your family? I hope you are sleeping better now. Last time you said you were staying up too late overthinking, I remember that. I do that too. I have been thinking a lot about how fast time is moving. Like we are growing up and everyone is busy becoming something. Sometimes I sit and ask myself if I am becoming who I really want to be or just who I need to be to survive. Do you ever feel that way? Like you are doing okay on the outside but inside you are still trying to figure it all out. I think that’s normal for us at this age. Let me catch you up on my side. I found this app called TwoCents. It’s a writing platform where you just post your thoughts and people actually read and comment. At first I thought nobody would care, but I have been posting there. It’s helping me think better. Writing there makes me organize my mind. You should try it too, I think you would be good at it because you always had a way with words. But I'll catch you up on the other stuff I'm busy with Trading — lol. I started learning again.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/387ce25b351c87349977733814a9633e.jpg"/> I blew a small account last month, not gonna lie. I was too impatient. I am learning that trading is not really about money, it’s about discipline. Waiting. Not forcing trades. It is teaching me patience more than any motivational video ever did. I am still on demo now, trying to be more calm. How is your own trading going? Did you ever go back to crypto? Chess! I am still playing.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20261020-092059.png"/> I am stuck at 756 elo rating for like three weeks now, it is annoying. But I'm getting better I'm my games now. . It clears my head. When I play chess I forget about everything else for like 10 minutes. It feels like basketball in that way. Speaking of basketball, I have been playing more often. I used to just watch NBA for dunks and Steph curry's threes,<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/a5a11f308c95113a7a4de23025467e7f.jpg"/> now I actually understand the game more. The small things — screens, rotations, talking on defense. It taught me that you don’t have to be the one scoring to be important. That lesson entered my real life too. Sometimes you just need to set a screen for someone else to win. Also have you seen the trailers? Solo Leveling Season 3 is almost out, Kaiju No. 8 Season 3 is coming, and I heard Demon Slayer, the new movie is dropping soon. I am so hyped. We need to watch at least one together and argue about it like old times. Anyway, I miss our usual talks. Tell me everything — what are you watching, what are you reading, what’s stressing you, what’s making you happy these days? Don’t filter it. Write me back when you can, even if it is short. I really like getting your letters. They feel more real than chats. Take care of yourself. Your penpalIZRPlays
