I've had trouble with an aquataintance lately, and I hope that through my actions and as well as this person's, we can put it to a stop. Tonight I wrote a short letter to them, and upon presenting it, I was told "I don't want it." They did let me read it to them, though.
I am not posting the contents of the letter in order to air out dirty laundry in public, but I would like to have a record of what I said and what efforts I made. Furthermore, if it so happens that you like my style and can learn from it, this blog entry will have been well worth my time and effort.
"Hi --,
I want you to know, if you are not willing to compensate me with the soymilk, then I don't want you to. I feel it would increase a sense of resentment between us, and I sense we already have quite enough of that.
Rather, what I want for us is mutual respect. After the difficulties we've been through, I understand if you don't like me, but I'd like us to respect each other.
Furthermore, I do not want to be a source of stress for you. Instead, I want you to kick a$$ in school, become a great nurse, saves many lives, and inspire many more nurses. I hope to do the same with my chosen career.
Finally, I want to thank you: while a lot did not go as I wanted, I could always tell that you made efforts to be patient and level-headed in my presence. I respect and am grateful for that.
Sincerely,
Listen to Your Heart
With good posture and a great attitude, I bet you can conquer the world! :)

Letting my hur down!
How would you wear yours?
Long before I was aware of the simple beauty and even power of it, I had a fascination with the little black dress (and the long black dress and everything in between!)
My photographer (read 'sister') makes me laugh a lot.
When I wear this dress like this, I feel like some mix between Audrey Hepburn, a Kenedy and some French bombshell artiste type.
