A Letter Home

 

 Dear Auntie, Here's a photo of me on the set of my very own movie. It's been a long time coming, especially since the whole cultural reset occurred I thought it would be difficult for me to find a role, especially a leading role as a guy in a dress after getting my theater degree, but you believed in me. My siblings always talked about how out of touch and loopy you are, but when they disowned me for not being deemed essential or manly enough to avoid the new mandates, you took me in helped me become my new self, and bought me a ticket. You even helped me decide my new name when I got here, no longer Corey, I'm Destiny!

It was difficult at first, not having your guiding hand or your safe house I have a place of my own, well I share it with a few other gurls in the same boat as me but, not to brag, I'm definitely the most successful one of us. I had a guest spot on a sitcom where I went on a date with Damon Wayans, Jr. and I got to play a real girl! And Damon was super nice!

But now I'm starring in my own movie, with talks of a sequel! That's my co-star after we had a quick rehearsal, which reminds me I need to reapply my lip gloss after this letter. The movie is a slice of life story about a bouncer taking a rambunctious club girl backstage and well.. I think the subject matter is a little inappropriate, so I won't share a name, I know you love to support me and I appreciate it. But it pays decently and seems like a steady role, plus it lines up with my interests. Anyway, thank you again for everything you've done. A check reimbursing you for the plane ticket is in the envelope.

I'm needed on set. just wanted to catch up my favorite family member. I have so many new outfits, every time I buy one I think about being that nervous guy confused about his body and the world around him changing, and you'd always talk me into modeling your old clothes until I got some of my own. Totes in need of a visit and another fashion show once we're wrapped!

Hope all is well and please write back! -Destiny

P.S. If my parents ask please tell them I'm still waiting tables. It's just... Easier that way.
