I began writing to her when I was ten. She was everything I wanted to be: smart, funny, honest. In our letters I could be who I always thought, always knew that I could be. Only circumstances held me back.
I met you, and thought that you were the perfect man for me. She did not approve. One day I let you read her letters; some of them said unkind things. You asked me to choose; I had to let you go, of course. For how could I admit I'd been writing to myself all of these years?
Cool twist!
ReplyDeleteNice twist!
ReplyDeleteThis made me giggle - well done!
ReplyDeleteGood twist!
ReplyDeleteWow. I need to do that. I would love to get letters from me! (I'm only a little narcissistic.) Loved it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent twist to this wonderful post.

I love pen pals. I have to say, I've never considered writing letters to myself. I talk to myself all of the time however!
ReplyDeleteI also loved the Ovation post. Scary enough, it could be a real show. It's probably a better concept than some of the stuff that is on tv already! Still, rather scary though.
As always, you are thoroughly entertaining.
I can't wait to buy your book! :)
Perfect.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! If only I had the courage to share my writings to myself with others, then I would have to choose. Again, amazing!
ReplyDeleteoooh..That was too cute!
ReplyDeleteBTW...The picture is a cow
Thanks for the lovely comment, yes it is a song that carries a message.

Wow, definitely didn't see that coming. I love that she was using herself as a sounding board.
ReplyDeleteLetters to oneself could be a valuable way to see a situation clearly and make choices based on the "others" perceptions. I have times in my life when it would have been most helpful.
