How are you, how are you feeling? Your last letter scared
me. The only advice I can give you is how your world really works. You see, the
mind is a mysterious thing darling, it can easily convince you anything. Yet at
the last moment it denies everything leaving you stranded. And I know you hate
being left hanging.
The heart is a troubled thing, poor tragic
thing. It can be easily swept by any feeling but it is too shy to show love
when the world lack it. Your tongue will get tied and your heart will scream
yet cheer at the idea of confessing a crush or two. Don’t trust everything on
your mind and heart.
Your soul is so vast and made of
different parts, it will take years to describe a small proportion of it. Never
label yourself so simply. Even the word “unique” is not enough for us. You have
so many sides of your soul. The common ones are the loving, the sad, the
hateful, the evil, the good and the uninterested. These sides come to the
surface at different times for different people you interact with. If you were
to ask 100 people in your life to describe you, I bet you that there will be 5,
10 maybe even 20 different descriptions. Does that mean you’re confusing? Does
that mean you’re dramatic and undecided? Not necessary.
You see, if your heart is pure,
despite its shyness, and if your mind is smart despite its untrustworthiness
and if your soul is alive, despite the vast sides that can contradict, people
will learn to love you. You will develop true friendships and a few enemies on
the side. Don’t worry, everyone has their enemies. If you trust them equally,
you might find that your worse enemies become your best friends. And vice versa.
While we’re on that subject, I
beg you to listen. Love is a precious and special thing but unfortunately our
English language can be restricting. The English define love as the kind you
find in marriage and dating. But there are love for companions, friends, family
and possessions. Learn the difference and don’t go straight to the romantic
love. Yes, it is possible to love friends with all your heart and not ever
intending to kiss at the end of the day.
Reply back as soon as possible
darling. I love listening to your quirky tales and drama! Give your mom a hug
for me.
