Dear best friend,

How is work? I hope you slept well and get to relax this weekend. Oh, and have the inspiration to write!

I had several cups of coffee dealing with the dark raven who cries out trauma in pouring black ink against my sopping wet floor (I can never get it dry or get the stain out), I am trying to support them as my ripping trauma is welling inside. But, I use these feelings in my writing and to express it in healing ways, if possible.

In any case, I hope you are doing as well as you can. I appreciate all your thoughtfulness and kindness, and your energy gives me strength.

Have a wonderful day!

And a peaceful weekend!

Love, your best friend

    Such a sweet letter! This makes me wish I had a best friend who wrote to me this way; just because and just to say hi 😭❤️ I love how connected these two people seem ❤️

  • I forget, are any of these letters responses or are they all coming from the same person heading to the same other person?
