Letter to a John
Dear Mr. XY,
I heard you were at the career fair, but I did not see you. I'm surprised you saw me because I looked like an odd, stuffed scarecrow in a roommate's oversized "professional" attire.
Is life really better after college? Is it more of the same, only with beer guts?
Do I remember you, you ask? You mean that guy who called me @ 9 am soon after he graduated to tell me knock-knock jokes...to tell me I never believed how much he loved me? Yes, I remember you.
I've traveled a bunch, climbed a few volcanoes, learned a few more languages, but I'm basically the same smart and awkward girl you may remember.
What I don't understand, is why you emailed me. I wrote this email to intrigue you. You always said too little, so I overcompensated and just replied too much.
Ciao,
XX
I once turned to Julie after watching Closer for the tenth time and asked her if life will really be that dramatic. She said, "I sure hope so." They always seem to come back and haunt me, just enough to turn that knife one more time. Life has been so uncertain and unsettling of late. I have less than 8 weekends left in my college career and I feel like I'm swimming through a bowl of pea flavored jello without goggles.
