Dear Elizabeth,

Hello Elizabeth! I haven't heard from you in over twenty years! Crazy how time flies right? How have you been all these years? I heard you moved off to France. Your parents came back to my parent's church. I don't think they hate me anymore. I heard you became a wife, a lovely one at that, and I heard you are a mother. I'm doing well in case you were wondering. I have a beautiful wife named Cindy. She is a school teacher. Her and I just recently came back from an overdue vacation from South America. Her dream was always to help children in third world countries. We loved the children so much we actually adopted one of the children in the orphanage. She is almost two years old. Cindy and I decided to name her Sophie! I know that may be weird, but you and I always loved that name so that only seems right. I am actually an art professor now at the college I went to a long time ago. I actually went to France a couple of times throughout these past couple of years, but I never knew you were on there since recently. I know we didn't end on the best terms, but I mean we haven't heard from each other longer than we we're alive when we separated! I just hope you are doing okay after all these years. I mean, you were my entire life at one point, and I just miss you after all these years. I mean a part of you still loves you Elizabeth, but just as the friends as we use to be. I mean you were my first everything and I just don't want you to think that you were gone from me forever. I want to be a person that you could keep in contact with if you wanted to, and I'm sure we could just pick up where we left off after all these years. I am a very busy person, and I know you probably are too, but if I ever do anymore freelancing as an art consultant, we should meet up and catch up. Cindy trusts me, and you and your husband and child could come! I would love to meet them!If you ever come to visit your family back in the states, I would love for you to meet Sophie and Cindy. I'm sure they would love to get to know you. I know this is a lot Sophie and if it is too much then I would completely understand. You don't even have to respond to my letter if you do not want to, and I will pretend that this never happened. In all honesty though, I really do hope you right back.

Hope to hear from you soon!
Ben

Disclaimer: This post is going to contain spoilers to the show. I suggest finish the show before reading this or if you don't have any interest in watching the show than welcome?...I guess. My facebook has been blowing up with all the people talking about the new show to hit Netflix know as 13 Reasons Why , a story about a boy named Clay Jensen finding cassette tapes from a girl at his high school named Hannah Baker who recently killed herself. On the tapes, Hannah gives 13 reasons why she committed suicide. The show depicts heavy topics such as suicide, bullying, stalking, lying, sexual assault, and other issues that young people deal with in this age. Now I will admit that this show was difficult to get through. I would constantly yell at the television due to the frustration I would have for some of the characters and dialogue in the show. This blog post is going to be me breaking down parts of the show and how I felt about character development, story, and the messag

(Corn Poppy Kees Van Dongen) June 12th 2002 Dear Elizabeth, How have you been recently? I know it has been a while since I last talked to you. I can't believe it has really been almost three years since I saw you! I know we really didn't end on the best terms, but I am writing this letter to really catch up with you, because I still miss you as a friend and nothing more. I heard you moved to France a couple of months back. Mom told me that your parents are starting to come back to church and we found out through them. Just to make it clear, they were just informing us in passing, I wasn't trying to be a creep and asking about you or anything in that nature. I am glad your parents don't seem to hate me like they did before. They miss you a lot and hope you would find a college back in the states. I am doing okay in case you were wondering. I am still an art major in college and I should be finishing up by next fall. I heard five years is the new four years a
