Dear Matt,
I wish I was in a better mood than I am as I write this. Another friend that I made here, a close one (I think or at least soon to be a close friend), has left today. Not of his own accord, otherwise he'd have told me.
This is the most amazing, wonderful place anyone can think of (or I can anyway) and also the cruellest. But I guess that's the duality of everything for you isn't it? Even across worlds, with good comes bad and so with really good comes really bad. Sometimes I wonder if balance is overrated. Other times, since flying is most of my career, I think it's great. (Is it okay to write smiley faces on a letter? Because I feel like that earned a winky face.)
I'm going to miss him. I'm always only ever as strong as my support system, friends/family are everything to me, and my support system is a bit in the weeds here. Like an unbalancedbroomflying apparatus. Get it?
It's not all bad of course. I have other friends. My best friend from home is here for instance, but she's been here a while and so she's not the same person I'm used to, which can be a bit weird. I guess people change with events and experiences, shock!
I hope you have friends here, Matt. I hope you have a good support system, and I hope you never lose them. And while I'm hoping, I hope we can be friends too. I need those. I can't be in a place with such variety and diversity and not have one friend for every silly and/or amazingly fun event that happens here daily. And there's a lot of them! I can barely keep up, I don't know how anyone (myself included) has the energy to do all those and show up for work every day and fight a war.
Anyway. I feel like since I am in a place that is a convergence of many worlds my circle needs to be a sphere. A planet!
Love,
Maureen Wilson
PS: Love your last name, by the by. Reminds me of a sleepy cucumber.
PPS: I feel like I should disclose that I've had a pint or three. I don't know that it influenced anything that I've written up there but I'm not going back to check so just in case.
