I Can't Take It...

I Can't Take It...

I've come to the decision that I will no longer write anyone, even family, who does not write back, or only writes once every 3 or 4 months saying they'll write more and more often "empty promises"..

I am in prison; I only make pocket change to you people for my monthly income...I have to get my educational supplies, hygene supplies and postage with that $...I can't afford sending letter after letter out to someone who won't even care enough to spend 10 minutes and 50 cents to send me a few paragraphs.

Besdies that, I can't take it when I get my hopes up on those letters that NEVER come, just to hit disappointment again and again...I have to take and pass with a 600 or better the GMAT on 11/21/31 or I will not be allowed to continue my education. That stuff should be all I have to stress about, but as ou can see it isn't..

I could use some loving support in these times, just can't find it...

Well Daniel, I have you know that I did send you a very long letter with lots of pictures for you,, Just to have them returned, so I waited a few days and sent them back, again to be returned.. then I found a birthday card for you , wrote a letter and put inside of it, pretty red envelope I might add, and still no response, and on top of all that you haven't tried to call not once since the last time we talked on the phone. I figured you were mad at me for some reason and waited a few weeks and mailed everything again, and again it was returned, then Saturday Thomi called me and said "hey sister I've got brothers new address for you!!! I was like What?? and oh but yes you have a new address.. there is now a 30 in your address line .. who a thunk it ..so now im digging all the photos up once again , and im writing you a new letter because theres so much ive had to tell you .. so know im in the midist of writing again. so don't think for one second I forgot your birthday because I didn't .. I sent you a card and everystuff.. but yet you claim you didn't get it .. and yes to answer your questions.. yes I Love You.. I still have doubts about you loving me .. but I honestly Love YOU

Hi Daniel,

I'm sorry to hear you are not receiving replies from your family. Have you thought about being part of a pen-pal scheme etc? Although it doesn't seem the same as people you know on the outside, there are many people who would like to write to you and send you good wishes out there, even though they are strangers. Sometimes these people can care more than those we know.

I hope your exam in November went well.

Best wishes,
Elizabeth-Anne.
