Letter #3

Dear Ovid,
So there is a lot I'd like to talk to you about, I mean the semester just ended and I'm back home from College and a lot of things are going to change next semester. But I really just want to tell you about something I realized recently. So there is a TV mini-series on a network called Syfy here that is called 'Alice.' Basically it is about what happened to Alice ten years after she left Wonderland (from 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carrol- I highly recommend). It is on Youtube.com if you want to watch it is very good. But the reason why this is important is that while Alice is in Wonderland she meets Hatter- a very interesting, funny, and somewhat corrupt good guy. When she returns to her normal world she misses him a lot and she knows she will probably never see him again- that is until the last minute when her mother calls her out to meet 'David,' who 'saved her life' and it ends up being Hatter who traveled to her world because he missed her. Its a really good scene :D. But, not the point. What I wanted to say is what I realized from watching it. Do you remember I talked to you about that guy who liked me but is starting to get on my nerves? Well I realized from watching Hatter on 'Alice' that I believe I only liked that guy because he was the first ever to say that he actually liked me. But now I know what I really want. I want a friend- a guy who I can say anything to. A guy who would be pessimistic and we could get mad at each other. I want someone who sees the good in life but also the bad. Perfect guys are boring. Haha. Then maybe, something more serious will grow from there, if God wants it too. Now this guy and I kinda established that premise when he told me that he liked me. We said we'd be friends first and then something will grow. I know what you are thinking: how do you know that its not this guy that you're supposed to be with? Its just, he is not what I want- all he wants to do is see the good and live the good life and be happy, but without life's depressing moments that we delight in- can we truly grow as people?
So I mean I hope that someday I'll see you again. Maybe someday you'll travel from your world to mine and we'll have a reunion like Alice & Hatter/David on 'Alice.' Not that I'm expecting anything romantic- I don't want anything that isn't supposed to be there. I just hope that we'll be able to see each other again, you don't how much I want to see you again.
Your Friend,
-Gen
