Dear Charlie,
I decided to go on a trip with my uncle over the seas for spring; I’ve always wanted to go with him, but thought I couldn’t handle a few weeks overseas. But last week he came for a visit, had a small chat with mother and then went to my room. I couldn’t believe he actually visit, I thought he would abandon me like my dad did.
To be honest I think mother talk him into coming here for me. She’s been worried for me lately, I don’t blame her. I haven’t gone out unless it’s for college; I’ve only fed on water, and pop tarts. I started to clean my room every day, and I’ve been hearing a lot of The Smiths music. I can’t really say why I’ve been like this Charlie, college is going well, and my friendship with Sam is good. But somehow I can’t manage to fall asleep, or think clearly.
Anyways, for that reason and more, I’m going to travel the sea, maybe it can help me figure out what is really happening to me. Not even writing can get me out of this oblivion Charlie.
The thing about my uncle is that whenever I spend some time with him, it seemed to make me happy, he looks a lot like mother, but they’re not twins. He’s a really strong guy and had gone through a lot. His wife died last year trying to cross a river in a storm. He lives alone now, they never got kids of their own, only me. I guess that’s why he always loved me so much.
Come to think about it, I think this trip is not only for me, I guess I’m not the only one who feels alone.
Love,
Joctan
