Your family adore you!
Your Dad was very sad after hanging up the phone with you. He was worried you seemed down and I think he missed you desperatly at his birthday!
When I told him that I sent you pictures of the T-shirt and you were laughing, he totally cheered up and was delighted you were in a good mood!
I love you so much and you're such a loved person, it's overwhelming :)

Today I am happy because I received an email telling me my donation of 5 euro a month to Simon community has just seen a homeless man move into a room off the street! I was sent photos of the room and I'm just thrilled that I could give something so small and helped another human being!

Hey, I read your letter. I think it's good that you sent it to me. I hate to think of you being insecure or sad because of our relationship. I don't want you to think that I talk to you like I talk to anyone else, I don't. Talking to you and hearing about how you are is the highlight of my day. You're the only person I'll really let my true feelings be known to. The last few weeks have been hectic and I've been really anxious about not having enough time to talk to you- both because I want to hear from you and I know you want to make sure I'm ok but also because I just want to talk to you. I guess I forgot that other things are important in making us feel good in the relationship. Like letting you know when I'm thinking of you. I don't want you to be insecure. I want you to know that you're the most important person to me. Of course this trip will change me but not as profoundly as you think. I'll still adore you, still think about you still miss you. I'll still look forward to seeing you, bringing you everywhere when you're over. I'll still love you.You mean the world to me, and feel free to forget that because I plan on reminding you. We won't be ok. We'll be far better than that. We'll be great.
Always yours,
Al Xxx
Always yours,

My Letter to you from Friday Night....
Dear Alan,
It's 5am and I haven't slept. I tried to at 2am but lying in the dark made me more awake than i'd felt all day. This week I've been an insomniac, desperately seeking sleep but not allowing myself enough hours.
It's ok, tonight I enjoy being awake. It's quiet, except for the rain, I can hear nothing. I feel like i'm the only person in the whole world who is awake and I feel blissfully alone. It's like my secret. So I read the Time Travellers Wife again. It was nice to delve into someone else's relationship for a change. I could immerse myself in their time apart, distance, upset, fear joy etc instead of ours.
This time it's harder. This time you're away and instead of being the same, in your own environment, you're changing. That's not to say it's a bad change- it's just a necessary change-inevitable since you're doing something so remarkable and adventurous and new. You're learning more about yourself and what you want/what you're capable of.
This excites and terrifies me. When I was in China I knew my emotions. I knew myself, I understood and controlled my changing "self". I knew you stayed the same in Cork.
Now I don"t know your emotions, needs, wants. I don't know your changes and I can't control it. It may not even be a dramatic change, perhaps unnoticeable. The fear is not knowing.
I'm afraid that all of this may, potentially, lead you away from me.
We talk about your day to day but not really how you feel. It's friendly, not really loving or how we used to talk-just factual as if you were talking to Katelyn or Steve or Doc. I miss the way you used to talk to me.
We've argued about Katelyn- I know this has pissed you off. I know this has upset you and I'm in a dilemma of telling you how I feel and risking pushing you away or bottling up and resenting you.
I just wish you didn't put me in these situations- that sensitivity and understanding would factor in before these situations arise.
I don't want to tell you any of this- that everyday I feel I know you less and i'm afraid you're wanting me/loving me/understanding me less and less. It's only been three weeks and I'm already so unsure.
I know you'll tell me it'll be fine and that i'm being ridiculous. To the point that I might not even give you this letter. Although I want to show you how I feel, what goes through my head.
I don't want you to get the wrong idea, i'm not trying to be dramatic or claim you don't love me or want me. I'm trying to share with you a piece of me. My thoughts at the moment, what motivates my worries. I'm sharing with you my loneliness and fears and the reason i'm reading a book about two true lovers torn apart by time so that for an hour I'm not torn apart by it-by the fear of not knowing or being able to control how you feel. By giving you my heart-my most precious possession and being terrified everyday you're away from me that you'll forget you have my heart in your hand.
I guess I just wanted to let you know that I miss you. I miss you especially when we talk. It's then I miss you the most, the way we used to talk, the way you were to me before on the phone, loving, cute, attentive instead of now when you're just friendly or sometimes sarcastic, narky and quick to snap. It reminds me of the fight we had at the beginning of your last week in Cork with me, the way you were to me on the bus before the lunch. I'm frightened you resent me deep down but feel you've no other option but to be with me.
You're foreign to me at the moment- i'm uncertain how you feel day to day and i'm frightened of asking or bringing it up or being upset by the way you'd treat me for fear you won't get it and you'll just push me away more.
I don't even know if this is just my form of catharsis or if I plan to send it. I don't know if you'd read it the way it's intended or if you'll just see it as melodrama. Who knows.

Awake
I stayed up all night because I couldn't sleep. Not sure why I couldn't sleep, it's been like this all week.
This night in particular, I wrote a letter, one so cathartic and honest that it has left me relieved and revived. I feel free to be a better person in myself.
I am moving on from the past, from the fear and jealousy and anger and disappointment.
I want to be a happier, lighter and more confident woman. So I'm forgiving and forgetting my old torments and i'm moving forward. x
