To: You
From: The world that exists in your peripheral
To whom it may concern and to those who share no concern,
Welcome to our humble residence. We used to be a shoes off household, for mom wasn’t too fond of mud tracking into the house, but as of now I don’t see that being the biggest of her worries. So come on in, make yourself comfortable in the place you will soon forget about. It is not your home, so feel free to dismiss what you see fit. It is our pleasure to have you, and our hope to reside within your frontal lobe for a maximum of 15 seconds. Please do not forget that this could never be you, and privilege is simply a godsend to those special enough to have it.
Best,
Another human being
