ok. so i'm trying something. and i don't really know why besides the fact that i can't control how it's received.
every day for the next few weeks i'm writing an anonymous letter to a stranger and leaving it in a public place. it's up to me to write the letter and leave it. it's up to some one, for some reason or another--whether it's curiosity or fate, to pick up the letter, read it, and hopefully do the same for someone else.
i think i was inspired to do this because a) no one writes letters anymore. handwriting is a lost art and i think it's one of the most beautiful gifts you can give b) for some reason, in whatever weird, i-don't-know-what-the-hell-i'm-doing-with-my-life state i'm in right now, i feel like i just need to send something out into the world. i don't know what i'm going to write in all the letters. maybe send someone on a scavenger hunt, maybe ask some questions, maybe tell a few secrets that you can only tell to strangers. who knows. and really, there's no way for me to see how anything's received, i can only imagine and maybe hope---for what? i don't know, but just hope.
i need to buy some more envelopes.
