portions of letter

portions of letter so i am doing the whole bits of letters thing again
making attempts at being cogent
finding what is truly salient

using words that i probably only learned within the last two years because of SAT prep

ok
well here actually is a chunk of a letter i recieved
the parts untold are in essence two friends talking, the writer and I. The part I am giving you is the bulk of the letter, it deals with my friends then current situation, their break up and his resolve to keep a high held head.

.....Heartbreak is a sensation that I had to greet eventually, but it really threw me off my normal happy walk through life. I have (and am continuing) to learn how to be okay by myself, in a super literal sense. I have been ancy and impatient, waiting to find an activity or person to hang out with, since I was a kid. The process of learning how to be antisocial in a good way is new for me. My relationship with ------------ was healthy and beautiful, but it took away that anxiety and I have been readjusting for a while now.
Now I am in a good place. I know there will be many beatiful days ahead ,and some gloomy ones too, but each moment is a wonderful moment. There are many lessons out there that I will get to learn. No pain no gain; whatever does not kill you makes you stronger; basically there has to be suffering to know what love and joy really are.
