Subject line: Chapter 1

Hello, 

I hope this email finds you well. Firstly, Im sorry about our misunderstanding earlier today. I didnt realise you didnt want to be texting me. Call me stupid. I will take your boundary to heart and be communicating with you over email.

Secondly, consider this part one of an early birthday present. Potential, it's what I have always gifted you. Potential postcards, a tree with potential, you know how it goes. For your birthday this year I give you a potential chapter in a potential book. Im planning on writing the rest, and was going to wait until I had all of the parts done to send to you. But I could not wait. Plus I figured you could use a little reading material, directed at the heart. 

So consider this a gift for a potential anniversary we could have had, or an early birthday gift with potential. 

The order of events may be jumbled, I tried my best to unscramble them in my brain, but they are tainted with memory and love. those are two tricky things. 

Relax, grab a cup of your favorite beverage and read this. I dont know if you will think badly of me. I hope you dont. I send this with a great deal of love in my heart. and regret. But this is one of the more optimistic chapters. Im going to try to send the next one in a couple of weeks, if youd like to read it, of course. 

But here it is. Dissect it, give me feedback, celebrate it, or hate it. I dont really mind as long as you take the words in. 

Thank you, 

Im sorry, 

I love you.
