Letter 1 - Pearl
Hi Amethyst,
I'm new to this, too. I didn't think I'd get any mail at all, so seeing your letter was pretty encouraging. Your introduction could've been a lot worse. For instance, an unironic "I eat babies for breakfast" would have been a deal breaker, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It's a pity that you were pressured into writing, but I hope that doesn't make our communication unpleasant to you.
As for me, I made the profile entirely out of boredom. I didn't really intend on finishing it. I didn't want to get sucked into that void of getting your hopes up for something good happening out of this, and then finding out my effort was for nothing. I don't quite understand how I seem to achieve a lot of things with minimal effort, but I'm not really complaining. It's somewhat nice to rely on luck sometimes, don't you think?
It's not weird to be drawn to people with similar names. I've noticed girls with flower names, for instance, seem to like each-other. I think it gives some form of connection? Unless you choose to communicate solely with people with names like yours, which would be kind of bizarre, but I mean... I'm not that judgemental.
Well, you already know my name, so, hello. You're more than welcome to shoot me a message if you're moving, though I will be naturally a little suspicious if you move too quickly. What is all the travelling for, anyway? Are you going on a round-the-world trip? Is it a job? Or your parents?
I don't mean to pry, so you can ignore any questions I ask if you don't feel like sharing. As for me, I'm not an interesting person. I've been doing ballet since I was 4 and I know a few tunes on the piano. Not too tech-savvy, so I haven't had the misfortune of parents scoffing at my internet usage, which is kind of a blessing in itself.
Again, I'm also not very experienced in this, so sorry in advance if I'm not casual enough.
Hope to hear from you again,
Pearl
