Some letters are better left undelivered. No matter how honest, loving and well written it may be, some times letters are for the ones who write it. You’d like to think you want to express your gratitude or affection towards some body but some times too much dramatic momentum may cause others to shatter. Shatter in terms of being attached to you and suddenly you realize that you cannot handle the burden of some body loving you more than you expected. Your letter full of love will be the demise of a relationship that just needed time to bloom. Whether it be friendship or romantic love. Writing letters is also a way to force your thoughts and feelings towards the readers. But sometimes it can also be misinterpreted and rejected. Letters better left unsent are pure, bold and direct. It won’t hold itself responsible for what ever good or bad it may cause. The power of the moment is inscribed in those words, but time usually calms the flames and that desperate honestly can turn into guilt and regret. Holding people close to you is showing them how much you care, but it’s also possible that you hold on too much that you never realize that you are chaining them down. We cannot let ourselves selfishly and brutally spread our feelings around no matter how good our intention was. Sometimes letters are written for the writers.

I understand what you're saying (and this is super late). Some people don't know how to handle true feelings. They get suspicious or just shy or something. But I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing how you feel. In this day and age, true honesty and sincerity is so rare because people aren't used to extremes anymore, if that makes any sense. We're more comfortable with things being so-so than full blown. I agree that some letters aren't meant to be sent, but more so because sometimes you can't convey all that you're feeling within a few words. But if such feelings were sent and the receiver wasn't accepting, it's natural to feel rejection, but there should be no shame in what message was sent. Because they're your own feelings and screw other people if they're denying you that. Your feelings are your own, they're you, and sometimes that's all you have.

Anyway, just my two cents. I hope you're doing well! I was thinking of sending you a letter actually, cuz I like to do that with overseas friends : D. Whenever you can, or if you want, send me your home address!
