Hardin's Letter to Tessa

-

I guess this is my favorite chapter in Anna Todd's After series. It was genuine and heartfelt. Hardin has always had this taciturn personality. But in this letter, he tried so hard to express his feelings to Tessa by baring his heart and soul. Every single word is piercing. If there is anything I have learned from this letter, it is that if you truly love someone, you will have a brave heart to embrace and admit your flaws, no matter how fucked up it is. It is because  you trust your loved ones that they will accept you for who you are, heart and soul. Because that's what love is - not superficial but deep and meaningful. After We Collided, Chapter 43 Tess,             Since I’m not good with words when trying to relate my inner life, I may have stolen some from Mr. Darcy, whom you fancy so much. I write without any intention of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes which, for the hap...

Letter to Mama: Day 1,079 (March 03, 2024)

Sometimes, in solitude, I read my previous journals (which all contain my unread letters for my Lola) just so I know if things have gotten worse or better. I read this particular entry, and looking back, things actually turned out fine. "Dear Mama, How long has it been since I last wrote to you? Ma, things are changing. Really fast.

It was a test of patience and integrity. And as usual, I had the urge to run away again, like I always do. Please tell me I'm still a good person. The perfect little girl you raised. I miss you. I really do. Tomorrow it's gonna be a new day. I'll be a student again. I hope I'll still do well. It's been such a long time and I feel lazy to study now. Hehe. Continue inspiring me and guiding me. I really need it now more than ever. I want to be stronger t...

Blind Spot

The Blind Spot in the Johari Window reveals how others perceive us in ways we may not be aware of. I always get excited when I receive letters because they allow me to see myself through the eyes of others, sometimes in ways I’ve never imagined.  I’d like to share with you one of the most recent letters I received, which truly moved me. The way I was described was something I had never seen in myself before. Thank you, Anne, for giving me this perspective.  "My Dearest Sezzy! I may not have all the time in the world but I want to use what little I've got to let you know how special you are and how much I appreciate you.  Thank you for always being patient with me sezzy and for loving me just the same even though most of the time you have to adjust or wait for me.  You love both so fiercely and patiently without expecting anything in return and I'll always admire you for that.  You also have a way of making people feel special and that's what makes you one of a ...
