Dear Elvis,

Oh goodness. Me, as a child. Well, I was very outgoing. I loved being around people...I still do. I thrive on it, actually. I'm also the oldest of two younger sisters. I had a brother, but he ran off with a traveling carnival a few years ago and we haven't seen him since. Even though I loved being around people, I was bullied. I was never the prettiest in the school and it led me down a path of self destruction at one point with alcohol....I'm better with it now, but yeah...I've been through a lot for a girl of only 26 I suppose. Did you have a good childhood? I loved mine with my family, it was school that was the worst of it. I'm still not that popular even around the office I work for. Hell, I really only have maybe two best friends that have stuck by my side. And don't even get me started on my issues with my fiance. Anyways, hope you are safe.

Talk soon,

Ellie

Dear Ellie,

My what a childhood. We have a few things in common, I too thrive around people....really when I'm on stage and I too was bullied. Actually it was pretty bad in school. They would make fun of my hair and the way I moved when I sing....people still do that. I even have a horrendous nickname now...."Elvis The Pelvis", I know horrible, right? But I understand and don't you worry you have three best friends now darlin. I'm here for you. Sorry, it took so long for us to finally meet. HA! But I am very intrigued about this fiance...especially if it means  I have a chance....small joke! But, please do tell, especially if it helps just get things off your chest. But I had a good childhood....we were poor, but mama and daddy worked hard to provide what I needed and now I get to give back to them! I love giving to people, especially since I still remember what it was like to have nothing. That goes for you, you let me know if you need anything at all. If we're gonna be best friends now, I want to ensure you're taken care of.

Speak soon Ms. Ellie,

E.P.
