I have been a fan of writing letters to friends (or whomever) for years. However, for the last couple of years or so, I have gotten to be very lackadaisical with my letter writing. For literally months now, I have been telling myself to write my friend KC. And yet I keep putting it off. Why?? Because I'm very much afraid of writing a bad letter. How is it even possible to write a bad letter? Well, to me, it is very possible. I'm also afraid of writing emails and replying to comments made on my online journal.
I'm afraid that I will have nothing interesting to say, or that I won't be able to think of a good reply, or that my reply will be nothing compared to the original letter or email or comment. I know that may sound silly or stupid, but it's the truth. I'm deathly afraid of being a boring or not insightful person. And so that keeps me from replying to emails or letters or what have you in a timely manner.
I guess the only way to break this fear is by just doing it instead of procrastinating about it.
I will write my friend. Some day.
