Letters to friends

The first time I went to work on a ship, whenever I felt lonely, sad, happy or just felt like it, I would write letters to friends.
The letter in itself had no agenda-it was just a mish mash of thoughts and feelings,past and present that I just unloaded on the poor unsuspecting souls.
Most didn't get it, few bothered to reply, and somehow over the years the practice fell off the wagon.
But letters to a friend was how I got infected by the writing bug...and the very act of writing, rather than its content, was what I found liberating.

This is a formal apology to one and all who have been subjected to such letters.

Bad habits are never stopped.They just get replaced.

And until I find a worthy, lasting replacement, you may have to grunt and bear a few more...letters to friends.
