Your Everafter Is All I’m After

A strange thing I’ve always been taken with is the art of letter-writing. We’ve become so jaded by technology, there’s very little romance left in everyday life. There’s something staggeringly beautiful that lies between the lines of a letter to a crush, fan letters, confession letters, letters of comfort and love letters (both requited and unrequited). What happened to that level of raw and honest intimacy?
When I was (a lot) younger, I used to write hundreds and hundreds of letters, many of them still remain unsent. They vary from letters to authors and childhood crushes, to the outpourings of teenage angst onto my parents. Each of them seem so pure, passionate and full of emotion; I can hardly believe that the person who wrote these and I are one and the same! I wonder what happened to this person who used to feel … everything! And could bring herself to express it. What happened to her? This of course led me to question whether it’s possible to train yourself to feel and concurrently express those feelings adequately.
Having nothing but time on my hands (for now), I’ve decided to start a new project that will consist of me writing letters to people I know, from family and friends to barely acquaintances and mere strangers. The names or my relationships to the recipient will never be revealed, but they will all be published, either here or in zines. If I’m feeling brave, I may even post them!

Seven surefire ways to ensure an awesome night out:
1. No Rush, No Fuss. Get ready as lazily as you like.
2. Wear comfortable dancing shoes that don’t turn your feet into black stumps by the end of the night.
3. Set aside cab fare to ensure a smooth end to the evening later on.
4. Pick the right company, pick the right venue.
5. Try something new and exhilarating.
6. Always keep smiling and stay positive. The kinder you are to people, the more polite and accommodating they are to you.
7. Talk to as many new people as you can and have stimulating conversations.

Possible Strategies for getting over something:
(disclaimer- may only serve to fill a void and act as a distraction for a while)
1. A sudden and radical change, haircut or dye usually suffices.
2. Go cold turkey.
3. Make a lot of to-do lists and try to get through at least a quarter of them.
4. Rip off the band-aid, face it and attempt to deal with all that you’ve shoved under the carpet.
5. Take baby steps, instead of attempting giant leaps.

Top 5 Weird Habits to kick:
5. Waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, ridden with the guilt of not completing my to-do list/s.
4. Not peeing before going to bed, in an effort to give myself another urgent reason to wake up in the morning when my alarm goes off.
3. Carrying 3 different notebooks and at least 5 different pens in purses, JUST IN CASE I have an important work-related thought at any given time.
2. Eating out of procrastination (note: must not let this turn into eating out of boredom!)
1. Not taking more than 2mins to get ready before leaving the house for any reason. Must not go out for groceries wearing ONLY tshirts and underwear anymore!!!
