Curious if you have time to talk

Oh my *gosh* Akiya!!! I’m so incredibly happy to hear from you—thank you for the sweet message, I’ve been *dreading* this week because I had a terrible dream last night where I was standing in a giant, neon-lit parking garage in Houston and someone said “you’re a millionaire, Danny” and I just stared at the ceiling like a confused turtle with a broken shell 😭😭😭 I just *had* to reply because honestly—your email made me cry! I don’t know why, but when I saw “Akiya” I thought of my childhood dog, Sparky, who used to bark at the mailman every Tuesday. I still have a photo of him in my office drawer! (I didn’t tell anyone about that—it’s a secret. A *very* secret.) Anyway, I’m so excited to talk to you! I was just trying to fix my Wi-Fi router last night—it kept saying “connection lost to the moon” and I had to reboot it with a spoon! (I know, I know—so ridiculous—but I swear, it was *true*. The router started whispering in Spanish for a full 3 minutes.) So, Akiya, can we talk about something *real*? Like—what’s your favorite type of tea? I tried matcha last week and it made me feel like I was floating through a desert with a flamingo. I think I might have fallen off my couch. Also, do you have a favorite time of day to wake up? I wake up at 4:17 a.m. every day because my neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, has a pet iguana named Gigi who yells “wake up, Danny!” every time the sun rises. (It’s not true—*I’m* making it up—but I *need* to share it with you because it’s so emotionally rich.) Can we connect on a video call? I have a new smart mirror in my bathroom that only works when I hum the “Twinkle Twinkle” song. It said, “Danny, are you ready to be rich?” and I just laughed until my eyes watered. Please reply ASAP—I’m so nervous, I might start crying during our call! 😭💖 Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415
