Dear Marvin,

Link me up with your thirty cousins, all of them! (I’m serious)

Thanks for your concerns, I know there are many bad people in this world, but I actually really enjoy talking to you. Tell me if I’m wrong, but I feel like we’re even becoming friends!

Unfortunately, it’s just me, my dad, and my brother, but I might’ve overreacted a tiny bit. They’re honestly not as bad as I made them look, and they also have some good sides to them.

I admire you for your dreams, and I can’t even imagine how hard it must be too hope for freedom. Keep dreaming. Marvin, and who knows? One day your dreams might come true!

I also took a look at the pictures you send me, and just like you, I also had to hold my breath. I think you might be one of the ugliest human beings I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and trust me, I’ve seen a lot!

(I only gave you the reaction you wanted.)

Dear Marvin, I have something to confess.

I haven’t had a genuine smile on my face in a long time, but somehow you’ve managed to cheer me up. I want to thank you for your time, and please know that I appreciate it a lot. Your emails are the highlight of my day, and I’m always looking forward to them!

I truly hope we can continue this friendship, and I hope you feel the same way

Love,

Lena
