THE DATE YOU WROTE THE LETTER DEAR READER, THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE A LETTER. FUCK, YES I KNOW IT IS OLD FASHIONED. BUT AFTER MOVING AWAY FROM HOME AND WRITING LETTERS TO MY SISTERS AND FRIENDS WHO ARE NO LONGER NEAR ME, I’VE COME TO REALISE THAT YOU SAY SO MUCH IN LETTERS THAT IS UNABLE TO BE SAID IN TEXT OR ON PHONE. YOU CAN COMPARTMENTALISE YOUR THOUGHTS, OR WRITE AS YOU THINK, WHICH MAKES IT EASER TO CONVEY A MESSAGE. YOU LEARN ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON THROUGH THEIR LETTER, AND YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU WRITE YOURS. OR YOU JUST END UP HATING YOUR HANDWRITING. BUT THAT IS OK, NO ONE IS JUDGING, THEY LOVE GETTING MAIL. IT’S LIKE CHRISTMAS BUT NOT. SO YEAH. WRITE A LETTER. IT’S LIKE 50P PER STAMP FOR A 2ND CLASS STAMP. I ALSO SEND WEIRD ORIGAMI STUFF IN MY LETTERS. MY YOUNGEST SISTER SENT ME EARRINGS LOL. LOTS OF LOVE, AUTHOR XX PS. DONT FORGET TO PUT A RETURN ADDRESS SO THEY CAN WRITE BACK.

INTERCONNECTED THAT WAS THIS THEME WAS FOR THIS MINI PUBLICATION THE INTERNET, PHONES, PLANTS, LIFE, IT’S ALL INTERCONNECTED FOR ONE CULTURE, A PLANT MEANS ONE THING. FOR ANOTHER, IT MEANS SOMETHING ELSE. SO MANY HOUSE PLANTS, AND HOUSE FOODS ARE SEEN AS A WESTER COMMODITY, BUT FOR OTHER’S THEY ARE ENGRAINED IN CULTURE AND RITUAL VALUE. OR IT’S JUST A POISENOUS PLANT MAKING ITS OWN WAY IN THE WORLD USING WHAT EVOLUTION HAS GIVEN IT. AS HUMANS WE ARE CAPABLE OF POISON, LOVE AND IDEAS.. JUST LKE PLANTS. THEY WAY WE ACT IS A CHOICE, BUT ALSO HOW WE WE GREW AND WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. DONT DENY YOUR POISON, DONT DENY YOUR EMOTIONS. AS WE GROW, BEND, CURL AND REACH TOWARDS OUR LIGHT EVERYTHING IS SHOWN THROUGH THE STRANSPARENT SKIN OF MEDIA, PIXELS, SCARS, LINES IN OUR FACES AND BROKEN GLASS. IT’S JUST BEING HUMAN.
