❓ PLP Inquires II ❓

I wrote a letter once.

My handwriting was awful, worse than it is now, undoubtably due to how nervous I was writing it. Despite the restraints, I poured everything into that letter, equal parts love and hate, need and rejection. Ultimately, I ended it asking for peace during a time that was reflecting anything but.

I folded that little letter up and put it somewhere they would find it.

and they must have found it. Read it. Felt it, unless they really can’t feel anything at all. Maybe they can’t.

Because ultimately, the letter went unanswered, unnoticed, un-relevant. So I keep my letters to myself now, most of my poetry and stories too.

It’s not like a “I’m not worthy of writing” thing it’s more of a “they aren’t worthy of receiving” and I’ve hardly found many people worth opening myself up to since. Soooo. Nope, I’ve never written a true love letter and I’ve never received one either.

Or maybe I have and it’s just gone unanswered, unnoticed, and un-relevant 🤷🏼‍♀️

I bet you write the best love letters.
 
I bet you write the best love letters.
There are a few people (you both included) who now I have some pretty awesome fantasies about getting a love letter from. It doesn't really make sense that I would but knowing you have written them and knowing how amazing you are makes this desire up there with any kind of sexual desire for someone.

Love Letters

Have you written one? Received one? Do you think love letters are an outdated form of affection or do you think we should write more love letters?

Do you keep them even if the relationship has ended? Reread them? Would it bother you if a current partner kept love notes from an ex? Would it bother your current partner if you kept some?
I have written and I have received. Does it count as a love letter if it’s digital?
Writing them isn’t really my strong suit. I’m an okay writer but when it comes to expressing my feelings I tend to struggle and get self conscious. I definitely don’t think they’re outdated, but I think people should only write them if it feels authentic.

I do keep this sort of thing. My husband doesn’t really know what stuff I have. I don’t think he’d be super bothered. He’s got some letters from ex’s. Wouldn’t call them love letters but they’re in with his memories stuff. I’d like to say I wouldn’t care if they were love letters, but I probably wouldn’t like it. I’d just stuff down those feelings though because I don’t actually think it’s a big deal.

Super coincidentally I learned this week that this book is releasing soon and I’m preordering it. Maybe it’ll sharpen my epistolary skillz.

If we're sharing.... I listened to this yesterday. And the irony was so strong after asking this question.
This story is so touching and timeless and beautiful.

If you have time for a listen, I highly recommend.

Occupational Fantasy

Alright this was a little thought experiment I was asked last week and I'm passing it on to you all.

If you could have any job for ONE day, what job would you want?
Caveats -
* You are really good at this job, need no training, and enjoy it
* You cannot take anything with you after your 24 hrs is up. No cashing out as CEO.
* You will only have the only the one day so for some jobs you will only have the work with no pay off or the pay off without experiencing the work. (i.e. if you choose author - you can write or you can publish but not both)

What are you doing?

Does this have to be a current job? Can I captain an 1800's brigantine warship? I could spend a day on a tall ship and be very happy.
Otherwise I might choose to be a professional musician. Like play in a symphony. I played french horn when I was younger and was never very good at it. I wonder what it would be like to be good.

I will accept one historical and one modern. I like that twist.

Can I make up a job? Because I want to be the guy in charge of hugging the red pandas. Yep.

Ok, failing that? Baseball play by play announcer on the radio. NOT television. Baseball is for the radio. Even for just one game that would be fucking epic.

I’d be a Broadway star or maybe a Prima ballerina. It would have to be on an opening night or something like that.

I think it would be amazing to feel how it is to be good at something like that for a brief moment. But I wouldn’t want to do it for more than a day - they work too hard!
