Day 1 - Your Best Friend

Follow @clem711




In case you have forgotten, I am writing thirty letters in thirty days. Each letter will be to a different person or group and is mapped out in advance.
Today I wrote a letter to my very best friend. This was a hard decision to make because I have two best friends - Emily and Ellen. Today I wrote to Emily (No worries, we will see Ellen as well!). The letters are supposed to be about reflection and with Emily I had a lot and a little to reflect on at the same time. Emily is my little in our Sorority and I have known her since my freshman year in college. She means a lot to me and basically the letter was about how glad I am to have her in my life and how much I love her. However, since we talk so often I really did not have much to say. Around time for graduation I told her how much she has meant to me so it was pretty difficult to reiterate those previously shared feelings without sounding redundant. In my letter I just reminded Emily of who she was to me and thanked her for being a part of my life.

It is always nice to think positively on friends. It's a great way to get in touch with your emotional side without getting scared. Baby steps. Choosing best friend as the first person to write to (whoever made the list) was a great idea. This was an easy way to start, but I'm sure the others won't be so great.

Today's reflection was a happy one and I'm glad to say so. Tomorrow's reflection/letter is to my parents. That one will probably not be as pleasant but I'm not sure yet. We'll just have to wait and see.
