❓ PLP Inquires II ❓

[PrettyLilPussy19]

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.

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.

To be honest, a love letter from me would be better in the hands of a friend.

Once lust sets in, I sort of just get nasty

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 Do you think love letters are an outdated form of affection or do you think we should write more love letters?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 I definitely don’t think they’re outdated, but I think people should only write them if it feels authentic.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.

It was but also there was some incredible wisdom tucked in there.
