Write A Letter

 ...to yourself, no one will ever know -Jan Arden.

People are obsessed with the word "closure," and sometimes we don't get it the way we want. We don't get to face someone one more time or we lose a loved one and want to tell them a little more, over time or right away.

Write a letter, to them, so yourself, to someone from the past or the future. Mail it if you want. Burn it if you want, put them in a jewelry box. Isn't there a famous story of a person who wrote their confidant a letter or two a week for years and then one day in a fit of anxiety mailed them all at once, and then had to explain?

Write a letter, not an essay or a poem or something fancy dear friend, this made me feel like this, I will see you tomorrow, or never again but I wanted to write you this now and put it in an envelope for later.
