For this blog post, I read A Fable for the Living. It is a beautiful story that revolves around love, loss, and connection. In the story, a woman writes letters and places them into a rift in the ground to speak to her dead fiancé. She continues to communicate with her fiancé to connect with her loved one. This continues until she jumps into the ridge and fulfills her desire, to be with her fiancé. Following this reading, I'm writing a letter to my author-self in order to connect with them and make something they can look back at for future inspiration.
Dear Andreas, Outside of working on writing assignments, we don’t really connect and work together that often. I thought of you as someone who I could avoid in my life and succeed without. I treated you wrong. It’s like you’re a calculator and I’m a math student who’s in the middle of taking a test. You’re sitting there on the desk, but the only time I actually use you is when the equation is too difficult to do in my head. I only used you when I believed that you were needed most. I don’t think this put us in the best terms, and I’m sorry. In the grand scheme of things, I should’ve relied on you more often. You’re the only person that can help put my emotions into words and properly portray the message I want to give. The absence of our bond has been very evident in my recent works. This semester, we’re going to strive to use our bond to its full potential. To strengthen our bond, I’ve created a three-step plan to communicate on a regular basis. First, we should focus on class. This includes: reading the email, taking notes in class, and doing the classwork. I feel like these things would allow us to better understand our writing and how to go about our tasks together. Second, we should work together in finding a way of writing that we find natural and comfortable both physically and mentally. Finding the most comfortable way of writing for us can allow for an easier time writing and connecting more often. Finally, we should work on starting assignments at reasonable times and completing them at reasonable times. We both know that our weakness is starting assignments. The best way for us to counter this would be for us to start our assignments earlier so we have time to think discuss and decide how to go about the assignment. I feel like with these three steps, we will be able to have a much stronger connection and use it to our advantage. I hope we can begin and continue to get along as the years go on. Sincerely, Andrew
