My Pen Pal: Inspiration

Dear Inspiration,

I am so excited that you have given me this wonderful chance to be your new pen pal. I hope this leads to a long and prosperous friendship for the both of us. I can just imagine the wonderful things we will do together. I see us riding unicorns off into the sunset and slaying dragons on the hills of Scotland. I wonder if you see the same things I do. You should tell me in your return letter.

I wonder about why you are so elusive at times. Why is it that I can imagine wonderful moonlit nights serenading sweet virgins and majestic sunrises from a hilltop with nothing but air between myself and the rest of the world. Yet when I try to use those images in a coherent way you leave me empty and alone. Why such a fleeting friendship? I thought we were supposed to be in a loving relationship.

Your lovely caress as I lay awake at night and your passionate embrace as I swerve through rush hour traffic have brought me much joy over the years. I like to get frustrated that I have no way of remembering your wonderful ideas and wish you would do it more often. Touching the sexy curves of your fantasy worlds has brought me to a point of ecstasy on so many occasions and I wish I could share those feelings with the world. I ask why you do these things to me and would love a response in your return letter.

In fact I have thought about it and realize that I don't think this is working for me. I wish this relationship could continue as it has for the past 25 years but I don't think I can live like this anymore. You constantly setting the terms of this relationship is not how a relationship works. I wish we could stay friends but I think that no matter how we try to fix this it won't work. Your demands and constant rejection when I need you most has gone to far.

I hope you can find someone in the future but this thing between us is not going to work. Thank you for being so sweet when you were around and I am sorry this had to happen this way. My best to you in the future.

Sincerely,

A Frustrated Blogger

Saturday.
