Letter #6

Dear Ovid,

I just totally creep-ed on your facebook to see if you actually respond to anyone who writes on your wall and SURPRISE! you don't. I don't know if you understand how disheartening that is. I mean we all care about you and we want to know what is going on with you but no one likes to be thrown in the trash. I think thats why I haven't posted on the blog in a while. Because when you go home for christmas all you want to do is be with your family and, i'll be truthful, i forgot about my other family for a while. It also doesn't help that i went through some depression issues this semester- but now thats all over. Did you know that on sunday it had been a year since i left you all? You probably didn't know simply because for you nothing has changed since we left, the scenery is the same, the people are the same etc. but for us everything changed. but i felt like i should have been alot more disturbed by the fact that it had been a year than i actually was. It just kind of came and went. I wanted to send you a message but i knew you probably wouldn't respond. I bet you're wondering why I started this blog in the first place then, but really it was just in the hope that someday you would read this and realize how much i miss you. Haha :P I even wanted to write on your facebook today and ask how you were but after staring at the page for five minutes i didn't know what to say. But i will say that i am very thankful for farmville now because at least i know that you're still alive when you feed my chickens and when i see that you've rearranged the layout of your farm for the fifth time this month. Haha. Really, I used to be the biggest anti-farmville person but I really only play it to make sure that you are still breathing. Maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, I don't know but I can't really ask for advice because no one has ever been in my situation before, so I guess i'm doing the best i can relying on my own intuition. Sorry if its strange- but I normally am.

Till next time!

Dear Ovid,

I'm not going to bother with the "Hey! How are you?"s because it seems like that is all we ever do when we talk wall to wall on Facebook. Of course I wonder how you are and its such a relief to hear that you're not dead every time you write on my wall. But these letters are different. Not only do I want to know how you are doing (automatic response: GOOD) but what you are doing. You never really answered my question you know about how you were trying to raise $2,000 to get a car and how you were still looking for a place to live when you went to college and all of those girl troubles you had. Of course you told me all that back in September, so it'd be good to have an update. But I'm assuming that you're alright and that you found a way to get to school and a place to stay.
I'm sending you a big hug because I'm also kinda dealing with those issues for this upcoming semester at my college. What dorm room am I going to live in? When can I move in? How am I going to pay for gas to get home for the holidays? Boy problems. Ugh Gross. But its kinda funny, here at school I walk everywhere like you do and I feel a little closer to you even though you aren't here. I also think of you every time someone talks about One Tree Hill or whenever I see the clock zeroed out like 12:00pm etc. Do you remember when you told me that it meant that someone loves you? I'd like to think that. Here we say if the clasp of your necklace touches your pendant that someone loves you, but I believe you're clock more than I believe that.
If only you were here! There is so much I would tell you and that I would ask you about. Its hard to know how things are with such a limited connection. But I pray that you are doing well and that God is taking care of you!

Love & Peace!
