One week ago, I decided to try to find someone to talk to. So, I tried to find a penpal and I succeeded! I don't use my real name, I use the name 'Justsomeone' and he doesn't know were I live, but I already know I can trust him. I don't know why. I just know, but I just got a letter back from him. So apparantly he wanted to write too.
Hey Justsomeone,
Thank for your mail. I would love to write with you. You can talk to me about your problems and I will try to give you some advise.
Okay. Something about me. I'm 18 years old, almost 19 and I'm still in high school. I didn't pass the year this time... So I'm stuck in this school for another year. I like art and music classes.
I also like to play the guitar... A lot. And I like to draw. I have three older brothers. They pick on me sometimes, because I'm the youngest, but they can be really great.
My parents are the best. They support me with everything I do. Right now, I'm saving money for my own appartment.
My favourite band is X Japan. Hide was and still is my idol. He kinda was the reason I started playing guitar.
Hmm... What else to say? Well, I don't know anything at the moment. I'm looking forward getting a mail back from you. I would love to get to know you better and maybe become friends!
Take care,
Guitarhero
He seems really nice. I will mail him back tonight.
I decide to finish my homework, which isn't much because I do almost everything in the breaks in school. After that I'm playing my drums. I love it, to beat all my frustrations out. But sometimes it doesn't work. That's when I cut. I just need to lose some of the pain I feel.
My mum calls me. Dinner is ready.
It's evening now. I decide to mail back.
Hey Guitarhero,
I'm also 18 years old. I don't have brothers or sisters. I also like the art and music classes! I play the drums. I love it. When I had a hard day I can just beat it all out and lose myself in the music.
Just like you I love my parents, well...my mother. I never knew my father. He left my mother when she got pregnant.
I believe we have a lot in common,because X Japan is my favourite band too! What you have with Hide, have I with Yoshiki. He really inspires me.
Hmm... What about your favourite colours? Mine are red and black. I like manga's and anime's. When I draw I like to draw dragons. I think they're fascinating. Dragons are so dangerous, so lethal, but so beautiful on the other side. Their colours and details are so complex and for such big creatures, they are gracefull or something.
Well, I'm pretty tired so I'm going to sleep now. Looking forward to hear from you again.
Take care,
Justsomeone
