I don't know you aside from your writings. And you don't know me at all. But no matter how foolish this may sound, here is a message to tell you that somewhere in the world, there is a girl with close-cropped brown hair and eyebrows that are a bit too big for her face who is falling in love with you. She wears suit jackets and makes hard-boiled eggs every morning and loves deep shades of green. She is a writer too. And she is me. I hope you have a lovely new year. I wish you the very best.

This doesn’t sound foolish at all. I know how easy it is to fall in love with strangers, and I’m glad that someone as kind and lovely and unique as you would fall in love with me.

Happy New Year. xx
