It has felt like a very short month and a very long month at the exact same time.
However, life keeps going so it took me very down to the wire to get this challenge done but I did. The challenge this month was to write 3 totally honest letters to people that I love and send them out to them. I think that this was the most emotional challenge yet.
The movie I chose to go with this challenge was Letters to Juliet.
Honestly, I never saw the movie before this. I really did just pick the film because it dealt with letters and I was at a loss for what movie to pick. It actually ended up being perfect because the whole basis of the movie was a woman who wrote a letter to Juliet, as in Romeo and Juliet, and left it on the wall of her "home" in Verona. She wrote about how she had fallen in love with a local man but was engaged to a man that she was not nearly as madly in love with as the other man. However, was not found by the volunteer until 50 years later. However, they still wrote back even though it had been so long.
If I keep going I will spoil the movie and I don't want to do that. However, it ended up being perfect for this challenge because she put her heart out there and was honest about her feelings with both people, even if it was just in paper alone.
Like I said this had to be the most emotional challenge of the year. Like telling what I think of them in any way, shape, form, or fashion. I do it in my car or my apartment all the time. I yell at people, call them names, tell them that their life choices are stupid but I don't do it to their face!
So, I am not going to say who I wrote to because that would defeat the purpose of writing an honest letting of saying who it was and why I did it. However, I did say I cut it to the wire and I did. I wrote and sent the last letter on the 30th of November. So, the other two I got feedback and but I am still waiting for the last one. Which makes it worse cause that was the HARDEST letter that I had to write and I almost talked myself out of doing it. Not because I was going to say mean things it was just opening up like that is weird for me.
Anyways, I will say that the feedback that I have gotten from the other two letters was amazing. I felt good to tell people what I thought about them and how great they are and that they loved me just as much to. I like doing it because honestly sometimes we need that reminder that we love someone that much and that we are loved that much.
I know that this wasn't anything crazy like skydiving but it still meant something to me and it was totally scary to do it.
I'm still glad I did it though.
