"I just dont know what it's leading up to. I get the feeling that is the point."

This letter is very important to me, it is the restarting of a correspondence. After restarting the project I immediately had to respond to the last letter sent by this person (I actually dug up a letter that a started for them and sent that as well as a new appologetic letter). As a warning, I am a mediocre correspondence, but if you would like to communicate through letters, I can see what I can do.

My Dearest Friend Patrick Gill,


Your letter came to me at precisely the best time I could have received it. You see, last night I was in one of my restless moods. There was only one person I felt I could talk to at that moment, but since he didn't respond to my text, (it was the middle of the night, his phone was on silent), I went for a mid-night walk. Well, my discontent didn't really ever leave and it flooded over to this morning where I went to my statistics class (I'm really not fond of math) feeling already like shit. After class I checked my mail and lo and behold I got your letter(s) and postcard. Now I am writing to you on the bus on my way to work.
Needless to say, the past 2 months I've spent high off of relationships. In this time I have made some really good friends. Ones that for once in my life share a lot of similarities with me- the deepest inner core of myself. It's so great, it's almost like a dream of sorts. I guess that for the past 2 months that is how I've been getting by in life- by building really good friendships. At least that has been my focus. But last night I was coming down from that high- well, more like crashing. It was inevitable, but it still hurt. One of my good friends that I've made as of late actually shares the same name as you. It seems that, in my experience, Patrick's are really good people.
I haven't been doing any art lately. I really want to, but I don't have the time. What I have been doing, though, when I'm not hanging around with friends, is listening to a lot of Elliot Smith. Well him and Bob Dylan. It's funny how music that seems to fit my mood the best comes in waves of sorts. I've been writing a lot more. I have a blog now. You should check it out, the url is on my Facebook page. Do you ever feel like your life is just leading up to one moment? I feel like that sometimes. Actually, increasingly so, I just don't know what it's leading up to. I get the feeling that is the point.
Anyways, my dear friend, I hope you are well. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for the money for India! I'll be sure to tell you all about it!

Love,
