“dear k,

so when was the last time someone wrote you a real letter huh? ha. waiting for a 9-hour train ride to begin gives you a lot of time to think things over. i guess a normal person would call you on her cell phone or text or email you from a laptop or some other gadget. anyway listen, everyone’s a therapist right? everyone’s just full of good advice. well take it or leave it.”

As I recall, I did transcribe my wonderful advice into an email to him when I got home, and he sincerely thanked me for it. However, my next entry states that I “succeeded in making him feel like crap”. I prefer to remember myself as being helpful.
