Dear Elizabeth,

How have you been? I haven't wrote you in a long time. Hope you are enjoying married life. Your parents showed us pictures of your wedding. You looked beautiful in your wedding dress. Samuel is a lucky man! Cindy and I are doing really well. We've been leaving in a nice apartment downtown in  the city, but I think we may be actually buying a house soon. We have been looking around and we found this little house with a picket fence. The typical cliche home that Cindy is obsessed about, but you know, I think it is actually growing on me. Cindy has a good teaching gig in the city. The children are a little rough, but she's a tough one! I don't know if your parents told you, but I actually have a pretty successful career! I am an art consultant in the city now. I go with these multimillionaires and discuss what painting they would want to obtain for their mansions. The paintings they buy are worth more than the houses we have have been looking into. I am staying busy all the time, because these rich people have rich friends. That is actually why I am writing this letter to you. I recently found out that one of my clients wants me to join him in Europe of a couple of weeks to attend art auctions. I know we are starting in Italy, but we should be in France after a couple of days in. If you would feel completely comfortable, I think it would be nice if we met up sometime while I'm there. I would love to meet Samuel. Maybe you could show me what is fun to do while I am there. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable than I am completely fine with us keeping our distance. It has been eleven years since we broke up and we are both happily married. Samuel can be with us the entire time if he did not want you to go alone. Cindy was going to come with me, but due to her being a teacher and me having to be there so long, she couldn't take off that much work. I just miss you Elizabeth, as a friend. I would really just want to catch up with you. I should be flying out in a month, hope to get a response, but if I don't, I'll just take that as a no, which would be perfectly fine to me.

Hope to see you
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
