Dear World,
What have you been doing lately? I've heard you are having a few problems. I mean, not that it's any of my business. I'm just concerned for you is all. I don't want to poke my nose into your personal stuff. I have a sinking feeling that something pretty major is going on and you don't want to talk about it; I get that. No one likes to talk about their issues, especially with someone (like me) who doesn't spend much time with you. I'm really sorry about that. I have to ask you to forgive me. In my defense though, it's not like I can just get coffee with you anytime I want. You know how shy I can be and I guess I've just been keeping to myself. Anyway, a lot of people say (this is just what I've heard) that your problems can be solved if people like me start talking to other people. I suppose that's partly true. What do you think? Do you think that all the people living in you could really get past all the junk in their lives if they opened up to each other? It sounds like a great plan. But then I think about all the people I have opened up to. They are still just as bad off as when I started talking to them. Not to mention how I turned out. In fact, my strategy to protect myself is to pull away from people. It's not the best, I know that. At least it keeps my pain where it belongs, with me. Do you see my dilemma? Now that I think about it, it's your dilemma too. I wouldn't want to be you. It must be really hard to be constantly generalized and referred to with all sorts of nasty adjectives attached to your name. You are always "going to hell" or some other place that is not pretty. Some people have high hopes for you. They say that you just keep getting better and better. Technology, and generosity will change your landscape so that you wouldn't even recognize the racist, greedy place that you are now. No pressure, huh?
In other news, I'm really trying to look out for you now. I hardly ever use napkins. You're welcome. I feel like it doesn't make a lot of difference though. I'm kind to your inhabitants, mostly. Let me clarify, I'm always kind to them to their face, even when they are trying my patience and taking forever counting out exact change and holding up the line at the grocery store. Not that that happened lately or anything, haha. Behind their backs though, I can be a little gruff. I feel bad about it later, whatever. Maybe you don't even care about them. Since you are such a collective entity its hard to tell your feelings. And let's be honest, you contradict yourself a lot. While we are being honest, how about turning it up for spring this year. Last year was kind of weak. I believe in the sandwich method of putting a criticism between two compliments so... I really like how you are so diverse. I mean really, you do such a good job mixing it up. I don't really understand all the differences in people, but I appreciate their existence.
Well, have a good night, or day. I guess it's always both for you. That must be confusing.
Your onetime friend,
Aaron
