"Dear Stranger,

First off I want to thank you for listening to me ahead of time. Its nice to now that there are people out there (other than me) that want to know who the strangers you come across every day really are. Not just the standard okay you five people without thinking when they ask how you are. But the truth. I just want to thank you for your kindness and/or couriousity.
 

I always wanted to do something like this. I would be sitting on the bus on my way home and I would start to think. (Which can get pretty dangerous for me because once I start I never stop) I think, what if I just blurt out to the tired looking woman in the waitress uniform how my day was. Or tell how I had to take care of myself after my father decided to kill himself when I was six and my mother locked herself in her room for the next seven years and did crack. Despite how much I want to tell all of my secrets to strangers, I never did. At least till now.

Well that is probably the longest introduction to a letter I have ever written and that you will probably ever read. I wish I could read your letter, just so I could know a little about who I am writing to. But its probably better that I don't.
   

I am the girl sitting quiet in the back of the class. I read too much. I own too many books. I dance it out. I think too much, I talk too little. All of my dreams are of going somewhere exciting, somewhere new. I can't make up my mind. I love music. I love movies. My mother is now the closest thing I have to a friend. I love art. When I say some thing I think is funny no one laughs, but when I don't think what I said is funny everyone else does. I laugh at my own jokes. Despite all this I have no idea who I am.
    

Well stranger this letter didn't exactly turn out how I thought it would. But I still like it. I'm going to end my letter to you here. I may not know you but I still hope your living a happy, fufulling life. That is a goal that everyone has and I hope you've acheived it. If you haven't yet thats okay too. Because you'll get there. I sure hope I do. Now stranger, I'll never forget you and please don't forget me. Live, Love, Laugh, and be Happy.

Love and hugs from,

The girl in the back."
