This section of my website, Love Letters, is full of various pieces of my writing on personal topics. Think poems, essays, journal entries, etc. That sort of thing. It’s my way of letting out my deepest feelings in the creative way I love and hopefully helping others who may be able to relate to some of the things or people I talk about.
The 30 Day Love Letter Challenge
The 30 Day Love Letter Challenge is a challenge I created and happily started on March 23, 2020. The goal of the challenge was to write one letter a day to a different person (living or passed) who has affected my life in some way, shape, or form for 30 days straight. It didn’t necessarily have to be to a person I was still close with and/or still talked to. It could have been to someone I hadn’t talked to in years. It could have been to someone I never met. It could have been to anyone I felt the need to thank and let know how grateful I was for how they impacted, and possibly still impact, my life.
Since I made the letters public (see below) and I prefer to be more private about my romantic relationships, I wrote to just family, friends, and inspirations, and have been saving the writing pieces about exes and current sizzling flames for my more discreet future Love Letters section. 😉
I want to challenge all my readers to write their own love letters. You can do what I did and write 30 for 30 days or make up a number that’s comfortable for you. You can publicly share them or keep them private between you and that person. They can be short or long. It doesn’t matter. The goal here is to spread as much love and gratitude as we can to people at a time when we could all use it more than ever.
Maybe it’s because I’m a writer, but throughout my life, I’ve always believed we should let people know when they’ve made a difference and touched our hearts at some point, so I’ve already written a lot of letters over the years, and I’m so thrilled that this project allowed me to write even more. I hope the people I chose to write to were reminded just how loved they truly are.
