Hey Past Javi,


Guess what? The future holds incredible things for us… We have a fantastic girlfriend who is like a beacon of light. Her love and care wrap around us like a warm blanket on a cold night. We cherish each other in countless ways, and it’s breathtaking!


We’ve climbed the mountain and reached new heights: we’re part of Arrowhead’s Broadway Company, and just this past year, we directed two spectacular numbers in MTN. Can you believe it? We’ve shed the weight from quarantine—now we stand tall and strong at 6’1”, weighing only 180lbs. It feels like we’ve emerged from a cocoon, transforming into the best version of ourselves.


Our strength has soared, too. We can bench 225 lbs at the gym; lifting that weight feels like hoisting the world on our shoulders. And let's talk about Lauryn, our amazing girlfriend… She’s a dancer, graceful and strong, moving like poetry in motion. Being with her is like dancing on air. Life is full of friends now, both at school and home. It’s like we’ve opened a door to a room filled with laughter and warmth. The camaraderie is genuine, and it makes every day brighter.


We’ve also taken bold steps into the world of music by becoming a baritone in choir. Singing is a whole new world of anxiety, but it's thrilling. Don't become fascinated with singing tenor: the baritone voice is our true calling, resonating deep and powerful. Imagine our dream Broadway role… Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street, is a dark, complex character sung by none other than Josh Groban, a baritone just like us.


Directing numbers from Sweeney Todd and American Idiot was nothing short of exhilarating. Picture this: working with Brady Schiro on the haunting melodies of Sweeney and navigating working with Alex Koeppen on Holiday. The stage lights, the music, the adrenaline… it was electrifying! 


Stay focused, keep dreaming, and remember: the future is a canvas, and we artists paint it with bold, vibrant strokes.


With determination and hope,


Future Javi
