I wrote this letter about someone special. SHOULD I GIVE IT TO HER OR KEEP IT TO MYSELF? It's way too long to post the full letter, so here's tast: Dear [anonymous] How are you? It's been a while, a long, long while. Much too long for my heart and mind to bare, so I lay my thoughts out for you. This is not a letter of spite or anger, but instead it is one of love and content. Open your mind and heart to me, I can show you the light I have yet to give. Let me start with a brief story of my past. I was born in Sacramento, California in the year 1994. I was only an infant when my dad's job led us to upstate New York. I had spent nearly six years of my childhood in New York, when, yet again, we relocated, returning to Sacramento. After a year in this city, we moved to a beautiful town called Placerville. In Placerville, I planted my roots and began to collect lifelong friends. However, my parents decided it might be more beneficial to move to Utah so my dad could help construct a new plant for his company; we have all agreed that this was the biggest mistake we have ever made. My first year at a new high school in an alien place was nothing short of hellish. My self esteem and dignity running out, I consoled myself by walking laps around the school (alone of course) and thinking that things will get better. I felt completely worthless and rejected, because it was true. Because of the small town mentality, very few people wanted to know me, or even cared who I was. Because I'm from California, I was nothing more than a curiousity, and someone who they could mock and belittle for not fitting the California stereotype. How many times could I tell them, "I don't surf, I lived 5 hours from any beach, I'm not in a gang, I have never met a celebrity, and I had no interest in going to Disneyland."? California is a big state, and it's a pity that tourists skip the green mountains and dense forest of the North, and instead rush to a beach, or L.A. or Disneyland. But hey, I'm from California, so my opinion means nothing to a Utahn that's "been to the beach" so they know what the entire state is all about. I'm sorry. I'm beginning ramble. During that entire year of solititude and anonymity, I told myself that something needed to change before I literally went insane. And it did. When I met you. ------------------------- If you want to see the rest, please post your email :) And please don't tell me to contact you via your profile page. The limit there is 1500 characters and my letter is about 10,000 (2000 words) @Aimee: I sent it to your email :) please tell me if it sent. Some other people showed interest but haven't responded so idk if it's too long. I was thinking of hand writing it. But thanks for the advice. Remember that this is a small portion of an entire letter. This isn't what the entire letter consists of I agree. I edited the first paragraph and omitted the second one completely.... Read More »
