Phantasmanic: A collection of observations, musings, and personal reflections collected for your reading pleasure.

InkForYou: What you see here is a small collection of some of the letters I've written in recent years. They range from those written to friends to family members, to loves and enemies, strangers in the park and political figures, and the topics and tones expressed are similarly diverse (or so I like to think).

It is my goal to be be completely free and unabashed in my relationships with others and with myself by the end of this, and it is my hope that by sharing these letters, not only will the sharing bring me closer to that ideal, but perhaps the readers will also find enjoyment in them and a certain degree of relateability.

While it was originally planned to be an image-only blog, I soon discovered that, once scanned onto my laptop and resized to fit one's screen, my handwriting became not only illegible (as it always is) but grainy, and the words appeared smushed. So, under each image post, I have typed up the contents of the letter for your viewing convenience.

There are no names attached to any of the letters, and any names initially added to help me sort them later have subsequently been blacked out. This is done with the protection of the recipient's privacy in mind (although I'm not sure how much of a concern this really is to some of them). Letters are arranged through tags with certain "feelings" or moods, relationship categories, and each letter has a certain person and their number attached. No, I will not tell you your number, but if you pay close enough attention I'm sure you will be able to figure it out yourself.

The letters are in no particular order, and the posting order by no means denotes any hierarchy of importance or significance. It is, for the most part, random and merely the result of my own getting around to scanning certain ones before others.This project was inspired by the wonderfully quirky and honest letters found on sleeptrip.com
