I found this letter to myself incredibly useful. I was blown away by how intimate I made this letter to myself and I will admit it is a little difficult posting it, but I feel it is a part of the story now. I feel like I'm always so dramatic, but at the same time, this is exactly how I felt, and how I still feel. Underneath it all I need reassurance from myself, and that is exactly what I ended up writing to myself all those weeks ago.
Dearest Kelly,
Now that you have started your journey here at SAIC and more specifically in this performance class, I hope that you continue to open your mind and your body up to whatever this throws at you. I hope you perform a voice piece, combined with makeup and staging. I hope you record your own audio piece on your software and use it. I hope you turn your body into a living photograph - a living piece of time. I hope you do physical work and use your body without fear or embarrassment. I hope you write something beautiful. I hope you overcome your vices and use your compulsions as stepping stones into your own mind. I hope you have become more aware of your body and all you ask of it in a day - and take care of it well enough to feel healthy and beautiful inside and out. I love you, I forgive you, I think you are a powerful woman.
Kelly

I kind of wish you could use those words in your performance, they're very real and sweet without pretension. It shows what you do and that you've progressed.
Your letter is wonderful...and yes, very intimate.
I wish I had taken the time to write a real letter to myself and not just scribbled out some bullshit.
