30 Letters in 30 Days... so far...
I guess it was a bit silly to start this project just before I headed off on holiday as I've not written a letter every consequitve day which I'm guessing is how it should be done. However, I don't think i've done too badly considering I was in South Africa for almost 3 weeks and as I write this post I'm sitting on a plane to Dublin. Whenever I get the chance (admittedly not very often) I read through the list of letters I still have to write and like now, I try and write one or two of them for publishing later. I've written a few of the later letters that are sitting in queue but being the OCD-nutter that I am, I cannot publish 'out of order' so they just have to wait to go live!
I do also find myself stuck on some of these letters, in some cases I just don't know enough people to match the subject without me writing multiple letters to the same people. It's made me realise how small my world is in terms of the people I keep close to me, I can literally count them on one hand. Granted I know quite a few amazing people through my online alterego but do we really know each other? As in, know each other enough for me to write heartfelt and meaningful letters to? Are these wonderful virtual acquaintances my friends? Am I really their friend? As in a proper 'proper' friend? To be honest I don't think so, which brings me back to the fact that my 30 letters revolve around and are directed at about 10 people only. Not that I'm feeling sorry for myself at all, this has been more of an eye-opener, a realisation of sorts, that perhaps I should open myself and life to letting other people in.
I'm interested to see where this little journey takes me...
