I received this post on October 16th/18 ... pretty much as expected. And I see that you wrote 4 pages, however page 2 is missing! Gasps! And it was right after you said "Believe it or not, I was very disappointed in your answer regarding" ... then no page 2!!
Page 3 and 4 were there and lovingly written with your good humour as always. Thank you. I want you to know that I'm not blog cheating on you (haha) You are the only one! I swear it!! As well, no menu's attached but it's okay.
You did have a very busy September and Happy Birthday Wishes to you! And thank you for mine. I'm a bit older than you are , but closer to 50 than 60 if that suffices (haha)
Again congratulations on your graduation and I hope the move to the new dorm has been a good move for you. I hope the guys are good to you.
So I didn't really get a good picture on the food, so forget about getting meal plans etc ... Just focus on what YOU get perhaps, any trading that goes on, what kinds of things are most liked/disliked. Is it a lot of processed things, or do they supply you with fresh things as well (I hope they do) -- I'm fascinated with the fact (in a previous post) about your arm crossing over the corner of a tray. You get what I mean? Pretty interested in what can be made from the canteen food too!!
As for myself, being Canadian ... the leaves are falling , almost all fallen now, the trees bare. It's snowed once then melted but cold enough to pull out winter outerwear. September and this first half of October has been 10/10 stress but a good talk with those close to me has cleared up that mess so I'm down to a doable 1/10 for now. Work goes on. Same ole same ole. Babies babies and more babies. I'd officially like to say to all "Stop what your doing for a few months PLEASE" (we know that won't happen but at least I might have a few easy months at work!)
I continue to choose a new recipe and tried a delicious crock pot jambalaya the other day. It was delicious and while eating, I savoured a few spices on my tongue for you and blew you a kiss. (the best way to send flavour though the air!!) Not sure if you tasted it, but you were in my thoughts.
I have restarted the maze! (haha) My highlighter dried out - was old to begin with, so when my tension headache is gone I'll start again and try not to make it so complicated! Is it cheating if I start at the end of it? Would the results be the same?
I'd LOVE a copy of the maze your working on for that study! (if you're allowed to share that - and if not that's okay too)
I'm coming down from horrendous stress so will close this letter today as page 1. But I'm sure more will be sent your way prior to the October 22nd deadline for this week.
Your writing is NEVER sloppy, trust me! I understand each and every innuendo as if you're speaking it to me in person. Writing sometimes a person can lose the intonation of the voice etc etc and it can get misunderstood , but I understand you! DEE
Hello Jack, I'm sorry I'm writing back to you so late, I went on a vacation for my birthday and I was visiting with family from another state. How have you been? Thank you for respecting my choice. I'm sorry things have been crazy. I hope it gets better. If there is anything I can do to help let me know. Sexual harrassment is not okay. And it should be dealt with accordingly. I hope to hear from you soon
Hello antoine, its kyla. I'm glad you wrote me. You honestly have given the best advice. To answer your questions I'll just jump right in. 1.ive been reading your post for a few months 2. I was just looking up penpals and your blogs were inspiring 3.after school I usually go to work. And then in my spare time I hangout with friends 4. I realized I wanted to be a counselor after all of my friends told me that I'm easy to talk to and they could trust me with anything. It inspired me to wanna be there for others 5.i chose the criminal justice system because even though I'm only 1 person I believe we need better rehabilitation and if I could make a difference in only a few lives then at least I know I accomplished something in this life. Everyone needs someone to talk to especially in prison, all you have is your thoughts. 6.i would describe me as caring, it's a good and a bad thing because sometimes I can care way to much and then get treated like I'm nothing. 7.if my employer said I was to caring i would honestly laugh and agree with them, I dont take constructive criticism well, either j take it as a joke, or as an insult 8. I have a few more years, I'm still waiting to graduate from high school, I'm making up some credits 9.i want to be a counselor because I've grown up sheltered and I know that's not a bad thing but when I eventually isolated my self for awhile and I had noone to talk to so I can only imagine what other people go through and I would like to help 10. The last book I read was milk& honey it's a poetry book. I hope I answered all of your questions thoroughly. I'm still getting the hang of writing letters. But I have some questions for you 1. How long have you been incarcerated? 2. What's it like, how do you spend most of your days? 3. Are you able to confide with your counselor and be able to feel comfortable? 4. What are some of your favorite shows? 5. What kind of music do you listen to ? I hope all is well, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Ha I just realised I didn't even read this when I commented on what you wrote about knowledge. I just commented on this one without reading it and then started reading everything before it so I didn't realise that
Hey Dad, me again. Just had to comment on this one because of it's significance in my life. I've always found it fascinating to hear everyone's personal oppinion on what the difference between knowledge and wisdom is. My answer is very simple. The difference between knowledge and wisdom is understanding, because you can have endless knowledge and not understand any of it. If you don't understand it, then honestly where is the value in it? Now wisdom is having understanding of whatever knowledge it is that you have. To me, that's what makes the knowledge valuable. I hope I don't sound like an idiot right now. I figured sharing my oppinion and sounding like a dumb ass is better than not saying anything at all. That's something new I've learned. I didn't use to think that way . Anyways, I hope this was what you were looking to hear. I love you Dad, with everything in me. I hope you know that. Just like I love Mom. You two are amazing, beautiful, unique, powerful individuals and I'm proud to be your daughter. L & R Your daughter Destiny
Dad, hey it's me, your daughter Destiny. I think about you everyday. I hope you know you are so loved. I wish you were here. There's so many times everyday that I think to myself I wish you were here to help me. For some reason I know in my heart that you can and if you could you would and when you can you will. We just need to keep in contact but it's just so hard to do with the way that I'm living right now. I love you Dad and hope your ok. Please don't ever let that light within you dim at all. I've got a feeling all your hard work will all be worth it soon. Your important. I love you. I really do.
