Dear Alexander,
It has been too long since I last wrote you. I know you are very well aware of what I have been experiencing the last several months, but I felt it was time to reach out to you and seek some, if any, advice you can provide me. It is very confusing for me being here in Los Angeles while having the company that I came to work for declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy. That, along with an economy that seems to be out of control has provided me with, easily, weeks of sleepless nights. I think my body actually thinks it is OK to wake up at 3am every morning. I’m sure you’ll give me some reassurance that everything will be OK, but I guess I wish you could give me more than that. Can you? What does the next couple weeks hold for me? Will I have a job, or will I be searching for one in a town I have yet to truly accept as my own?
I’d love to give you a run down of everything that has gone on the last several months, maybe I shouldn’t have let my letters to you fall to the side as I dove head first into my move to Los Angeles. Maybe I was supposed to experience the dramatic changes in my life that have occurred in the last year. I break up with my long time girlfriend, I leave New York and New Jersey for Los Angeles, and my company declares Chapter 11, then Chapter 7 bankruptcy. But, what is it that I need to learn from all of this? What can I take from the experiences? If I was supposed to experience these dramatic changes, am I actually benefiting from it all?
Has everything been just happenstance? I mean, am I looking too deep into everything? Is it really just like finding the little coincidences and putting them together to tell a grand story? I know, I am asking you a lot of questions. I guess my hope is that you might provide me the answers I need. I know you can’t tell me everything. Maybe if you do, I’ll make sure you meet that girl you married. You did get married, didn’t you?
Well, that’s all I can say about that, but I do think we need to keep up the communication. Write soon, I need the advice.
Yours,
Alex
