To receive you first must give; and lately I haven’t been giving anything at all. In the past three months I have been so selfishly absorbed in my own mourning that I have forgotten to give anything of myself. For this I am truly sorry. So in an attempt to not only make up for this lack of interaction with my loved ones and friends, but to get in better touch with my feelings and my place in life so as to turn it around into what I would like it to be, I am going to write. For the next thirty days I will be writing one letter per day to specific people or groups. Some days I will share these letters, others I will write them to keep for myself but to get the emotions on paper anyway. Every day will revolve around reflection, and I am hoping to become closer with my emotions and provide my friends and family (and quite possibly myself) with some level of solace.
It is unfortunate to announce that I am nowhere near clever enough to come up with an idea like this on my own. A friend of mine and myself are both participating in this exercise, and she found it first. The idea comes from a random site that she literally stumbled upon. I have mapped out the next thirty days and will do my best to share my thoughts and feelings and reflections with you. If you are reading this, whoever and wherever you are, please know that this is a large leap for me. I do not talk about my feelings, I do not let people in, and that has ruined my life so far. Let’s see if there’s anything we can do about that. Below is the list of whom I will be writing to (in some sense). Maybe you would want to do the same.
