A letter-writing catharsis in Zagreb


Regent Esplanade Hotel, Zagreb

I wrote a letter to someone yesterday, the kind you don't intend to send. Afterwards I went to Lisinski to see The Metropolitan Opera's broadcast of Carmen and during the fortune-telling scene in Act 3 I realized keeping said letter would only mean prolonging my misery. So when I returned to my hotel room later that night, I tore it to pieces and threw them away. The words describing events that once changed the course of the universe now inhabit an unknown location in Zagreb and I finally have my sense of closure.

Sometimes writing it down helps. I'm glad you were able to get some closure.

That was a great symbolic act. Was that picture taken afterwards? Cause it is so cute and cheerful.

There is something so freeing about writing a letter and then destroying it. I should do it more.

wow. that's the upside of writing letters as opposed to emails; you can set it aside and let it marinate a bit. there have been more than enough emails that i've fired off and regretted only moments later.
