Not exactly a love letter but a kind email circa September of 2008
From a sailor friend made that very year during New York’s Fleet Week
An interesting experience to meet this kind young man all dressed in white
When his skin made me think ‘lobster red’ from being out in the sun so long
He had asked me for my newly gotten phone number and I didn’t know it just yet, but I got it right
And he was able to call me after
We kept in contact and during deployment we moved on to emails
Emails for the modern penpals and I’m so happy to have found them
Was I taken back to 2008? Not exactly
I simply remembered talking with a great friend whom I haven’t spoken to in years
And in that letter my friend asked me if I had found my Prince Charming…
Brining a smile to my face because I have found something so much better
I found myself and my voice
While the girl in 2008 wasn’t sure yet of what she wanted the woman of today is happy to be assertive
Happy to know her value and what she brings to any place be it a relationship or her career
The woman of today isn’t seeking approval from others but making an effort to do what’s best for her
And along the way she fell in love with who she is inside and out
A major message for the girl in 2008
Not to worry because what really matters, will turn out to be great!
