May 13, 2019-- Honey Roasted Carrots
Dear Friend, Sometimes I wish Prosebox has a button for you to like or bookmark a post. I understand that, that way, we would just be writing for like’s and upvote’s and whatnot. That would defea...

April 11, 2019-- Crustless Quiche

February 1-2, 2019
Dear Friend, For a month, I was wondering why I didn’t feel pretty looking into the mirror. I mean I’m so not really pretty for real, like, I’m not. But at least for this past year I didn’t mind...

Dear Friend, Morning, and I’m on Prosebox. Two things I’m struggling with these days: exercising and having a healthy sleep schedule. I wonder if I should just comply to the following principle...
Book Description
I used to have someone to talk to.
I have never met him in real life, but I daresay he’s the greatest person I’ve ever known.
But maybe I say that because he helped ME.
He listened to me, really listened. He cared about my story. He was unbelievably caring. He had amazing advice. I was mesmerized by his wonderful attitude toward life. I learned so much from him.
I never knew his name.
Since he was my anonymous listener, I compared him to the Friend in the novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. But the difference is that he did respond to my letters.
I could not have asked for anything more from a listener. I loved him from the bottom of my heart.
But I decided to stop, because I was getting well and I didn’t want to bother him anymore.
I’m here to pretend like I’m still writing to him, my dear Friend.
