Twenty- Six Letters of the Alphabet

Dear Diary,

The twenty- six letters of the alphabet are what I am using in order to create this piece of writing right now. Only twenty- six letters. These letters are capable of changing peoples’ lives, causing people to experience heartbreak or even cry tears of joy. 

One of my favorite parts about writing is the fact that the readers of your work are able to decipher what you have written in their own way that may resemble their story, something going on in their life, or maybe their past experiences. This is beautiful. 

The other day I was listening to a song, a popular song you might say. Honestly, it is probably my favorite song at the moment. As I was listening to the lyrics, I came to realize I relate to most, if not all, of the words the artist sang. I then looked up the meaning behind the artist’s song lyrics, and there is little to no similarity between what I believed was the meaning and what the writer had in mind. 

 I believe this is one of the reasons I love writing so much. If I were to write a piece on something in my life, without names or specifics, someone may find a connection to my work. I could bring awareness to a moment in their life without even realizing.

Now here is the lyrics from the song I was mentioning earlier: “hope ur okay” by Olivia Rodrigo

Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings

Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems

And when the clouds are ironed out

And the monsters creep into your house

And every door is hard to close

I hope one day my writing is able to touch my readers the way these lyrics touch me. I hope one day my writing is able to make people feel cherished and heard because one of my goals in life is to make everyone I interact with feel welcomed and loved. 

Sincerely,

Anna
