TODAY I …
received a book and a letter in the mail. The package was sent from me (my old apartment address) to myself at Anomaly. The letter was signed Love, New York City. It was a heart felt letter explaining the things that make New York great and how I shouldn’t give up on him (him as in NYC). You’ll see attached my name written on the back of the letter and the shipping tag. I won’t show the letter. It is too beautifully written to show the world. I’ll give you some of the clues I’ve come to assume so far though. You’ll see the package was sent from 10012 - Soho. It was sent on Saturday. I was in Soho on Saturday. I wonder if I passed the person who sent this. Doubtful. I don’t remember running into anyone. The book sent to me is my favorite - Never Ending Story. They knew my old apartment address. They also didn’t know I ride my bike. These facts tell me that they are from my distant past. They are someone that was/is very close to me as they know the Never Ending Story is my favorite and I’ve probably told them about the sphinx tattoo I would like to get. I believe its a man. An older man. Too much satire for it to be someone young. They know my car was stolen, which seems to have been their motivation to send this to me. The person also happens to know me extremely well. Knowing that a lot of shitty things have happened to me lately, they somehow knew I was thinking about throwing in the towel on the whole NYC thing. I hadn’t told anyone about this. I was only thinking about it Friday and Saturday; Sunday I hung out with my friend Eric Braun at the Pool Party in the E River Park and felt like I couldn’t leave NYC. I had only written of my ideas to leave in my planner— where I could go next, what I could do next and how to prepare to move. I wrote it so tiny on the page in a bar with no one around me. How does this person know me so well?
Who ever you are … thank you. Thank you for the good cry I had. Thank you for being so sweet and caring. Thank you for all of the truth in your letter <3 <3
I hope I’ll find out who you are one day so I can give you a huge hug. If anyone knows anyone with the handwriting below, or someone that dashes-like that, or sometimes but not always puts two spaces after a period or question mark …. then let me know haha. I am so boggled.
