Dearest little birdy,
It has been one month and I haven't talked to Nancy for twenty-nine days, which somehow bothers me. She is the type of person you talk to once and then crave to see again. She listened to all my problems that day and didn't care to judge me. I've always dreamed the world would be like Nancy: to just not care about anything. Be free. Be happy. Nancy didn't answer my questions or try to help me and I was grateful. It was refreshing to be listened to and not be told how to cope with it, because everything felt like a lie anyway.
Excitedly, you can fly now birdy! It's as if a storm has passed, and the feeling of dread has left me finally. I suppose I was just overreacting.
