Since I was a little girl, I’ve always enjoyed writing whether it’s poems, unimaginable stories, and letters; but I was rather fond of letters and even to this day I still don’t know why I guess I have to wait and see. No, I have never had a pen pal in London, Greece or any foreign country. My letters were to things so when I saw the movie ‘Collateral Beauty” I honestly thought someone was in my head but it goes to show that though we are so unique there is someone out there with some great ideas like yours.
Like Will Smith who plays Howard in the movie, I found writing letters therapeutic, just a pen and a paper to express everything that I felt within. I found out that it actually works.
Of course, no-one reads these letters so how does it work exactly? who evaluates these letter and give you the advice you need. Well, I do, after writing I leave my letters for a day or so and read it over and sometimes I would burst into laughter or I’d sit and really think about what I wrote because sometimes self-evaluation is all we need, not our friends, families or therapist opinions. Allowing ourselves to think and figure out the situation on our own, don’t get me wrong some situations call for outside help but try rationally thinking through it first give yourself the benefit of the doubt and speaking from experience and positive feedback I’ve been given by persons who I’ve suggested taking part in writing letters, self- growth will be the reward.
XOXO.
