Dear Snowflake,

Sorry for the clickbait. That may or may not have been intentional. I just wanted you to read it. I didn't think you'd write back too.

I told my mom about the whole ordeal and we talked for hours. It felt like...a heavy burden lifted off my chest? Dad still doesn't know about it. I'm not planning on telling him anyway. He is fine with anything as long as I'm fine with it so there's that.

I wasn't expecting any letter so imagine my surprise when it did come. First, I was scared—almost anxious. Couldn't believe it. Thought it was a prank. A joke. But then I read your letter and oddly, I felt at ease? I don't know why I felt that way. Maybe because you were willing to give me, a rude stranger, another chance? I really don't know. But it made me feel grateful? I don't know. I am all over the place in my head. I am really bad at putting my feeling into words. You must have already noticed that by now.

But to give you a clear answer:

Let's start again?

Hey :)

I'm Chainsaw and just to put it out in the open, I got a B in English throughout my school years. Letter writing? Never been my forte.

Am I supposed to ask questions? What type of questions am I supposed to ask? Should I mention the weather? Should I share what I ate? Should I treat it like a journal? I have no clue.

But since you asked me to share three things about myself in exchange for your age in the earlier letter, let's start from there?

I don't hate the world. But I don't particularly like it either.I don't hate the C-word (Christmas). On contrary, I love it.I do enjoy hallmark movies (but I still think they're stupid).

I guess I'm doing alright so far?


P.S. Thanks for the recommendation. He seems like a good candidate to fix my brain.


Signing off with good intentions,

Chainsaw
