Letters to Electra - Insecurities Exist, Sadly

13/5/15

Dear Electra,

Would it be appropriate for me to write about the progression of my acne in this letter? I have just come out of the bathroom after washing my face and my mother warned me about the severe appearance of pimples on my face. First of all, mother, I have no control of the type of makeup they use at 'Beauty and the Beast'. Secondly, I thought you influenced me to believe that vanity is impertinent to who people really are. I am already aware that there has been an increase of excessive bacteria on my face, and usually you're the one who tells me to do absolutely nothing about it. Thus, I write this passage in utmost indignation.

Now that my outrage is finished, I have been enjoying what is happening in my life so far: the art of performing on stage with wonderfully talented people, flourishing in home/schoolwork and reading such remarkable books. Speaking of books, I am currently reading the novel adaptation of 'Anne of Green Gables', which some of you are aware I am fascinated with by my social media platforms or my inevitability of chattering about it in real life. I am glad that a few of my castmates are also head over heels for Gilbert Blythe, who is my kindred spirit. Oh, if only the good characters - such as Anne, Gilbert, Diana and Marilla - were alive and attend my school! That would be a miracle. I mourn for the fact that my fantasy would never come to life.

This week I had concluded Marian's Everyday Life's blog activity. Marian's Everyday Life will always haunt me in my future since it has been part of my life for more than three years. I had been thinking about it a while ago, since handling two blogs has been tragic. It seems like I post the same content on that blog here on 'Letters to Electra' - I write about my life's tribulations and contentment. I really hope that this blog will be successful and will help me to express my teenage experiences in the form of words and (sometimes) visual assistance.

Since MEDL is finished, I will now conclude my letters and book reviews with:

Stay powerful and beautiful as usual,
