Return often and take me, beloved sensation, return and take me - when memory of the body awakens, and old desire again runs through the blood; when the lips and skin remember, and the hands feel as if they touch again.
C.P. Cavafy (1863-1933)
Return; 1709

Dear Ashely,

I have no friends. I'm such a shitty being, and I know it. My husband does not believe in me. He isn't even proud of me. I don't blame him, why should anyone be proud of me or think I could amount to something more in life?

I'm a bad wife and I'm not attractive. I need to lose weight and maybe learn how to do my make up. Maybe I should take some dieting pills?

I'm holding him back. Sometimes what he says makes it sound like he doesn't want me around anymore. I try to tell him how I was feeling and he told me I was complaining too much. I just feel like a worthless piece of shit. He's off in the world seeing new things and experiencing amazing things and I'm not doing anything with myself. I guess I am jealous of him. Because he got to leave and I'm still stuck here for who knows how long.

Tristen,
I'm afraid of what you're saying thing when you get to this point. I love you.
Your wife.
