Dear best friend
Dear best friend, Good morning my dear. I woke up with a terrible headache, and have been sleeping up until now, unfortunately. I'm sorry for the delay. I'm so very happy and appreciative you got the app and thank you for reading my story! I am glad you like it so far!

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, Good morning, 19 hours of purgatory for the long letter I sent you yesterday. I was so nauseous and had such a terrible migraine that one letter was all I could do. I’m so sorry. I was throwing up until late last evening until I finally had hot tea and ate something. It was bad. I’ll be talking to my doctor on Monday. Hopefully I can get more answers.

I am the boy giving the girl a plastic rose on Valentine’s Day and the one sitting sullenly for not having done so earlier. I am the science fair exhibition where my peers brag about their brightly colored ribbons. I am the girls gossiping and also the ones eavesdropping. I wake up in my childhood bed but my feet touch the end. I keep trying to fall back asleep; I’m tired, I’m so, so tired. But the sun is a painfully punctual alarm clock and my curtains aren’t that good at their job.

The Priceless Work
In a world of aspirations and dreams, Where success often gleams, There's a whispered truth that beams, "If you're not willing to work for free, don't bother," it seems.

Dear best friend
Hey! You're probably working or busy with your kids, but I just wanted to write you a quick letter to say hi. Hope you're well.

Whispers of the Heart
In the meadows where dreams take flight, Where stars and moon illuminate the night, A tapestry of words I weave, To paint a verse, your heart cleaves.

Time As A Choice
In the whirlwind of life, a common refrain, "I don't have the time," echoes again. Caught in the hustle, the endless race,
