I sat at dinner with an old friend the other night, talking about life, work, dating... comparing, contrasting, and sharing war stories. My friend has quite a history of being a heartbreaker, losing interest in relationships long before their expiration date. I, on the other hand, missed the memo that wearing your heart on your sleeve went out of style with perms and Hypercolor t-shirts. We got into a discussion about my latest writing venture, and I asked him if there was anyone who he felt affected him enough that he had been inspired to write to. His answer surprised me. He told me the only writing of this nature he has is to his grandfather, who passed away suddenly a few years ago.
Sometimes the people we want to reach out to aren't the ones who broke our hearts. They may not necessarily be an "ex" or someone we were romantically involved with. Some of the most significant relationships in our lives are with family and friends who we lose too soon. So I'd like to adjust my previous posting to include letters and stories that encompass all different capacities of love.
What unspoken words are left in your heart?
