It’s now dark outside the window and we still haven’t finished writing these words to you. We are having a sort of self conscious feeling of speaking out loud with no response.
It has been hard lately to form a coherent thought, let alone write a whole letter, which is why it has taken us so long to write this down.
But it’s nice to think of the time in between our correspondences, the time our little thoughts will spend floating in-between us. We think this is something we would like to keep up and could imagine doing for a living. It’s special to have found someone (two) whose map of meaning looks so similar to ours. <3
