The Sixth Letter From N

May 5, 1995

D,

I’m so sorry to hear that. Are you feeling better? It could be something you ate. Or you weren’t being careful enough, you seem like the type to be reckless. But I could just be falsely judging you. Still, you should be more careful.

You can also call me a hypocrite because I’m starting to not mind the prices of stamps and delivery. Maybe you’re successfully making me warm up to you. The person still hasn’t written back to me, but I don’t feel less disappointed because I still get something from you.

But that’s the only thing I’m ever going to say. I just wanted to make sure you know that your efforts aren’t wasted. I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life, and this is me trying to prove to myself that I can’t keep messing up.

Also, I watched 301, 302. It was a great movie, I loved how the story went. Maybe I felt something about it because of whatever I’m going through, but not exactly. Have you watched it? Or are the movies in Taiwan different, I’m not sure.

I do use electronic mail and it’s also for work. But no, you don’t have to send me one. I pretty much like receiving your letters.

Okay, that should be the last time I’m ever going to say that.

Thank you. You’re weird, but not in a bad way. At least I know you don’t lie, because you are a nice person to talk to. Even if it’s just behind written words on paper.
