So, I wrote a post a while back about my aunt and the e-cards she sends me and how fake I think they are. It made me think that I kinda do the same thing. I have been writing to a missionary for almost 2 years now. We dated before he left, but we are currently just "friends." In my letters I talk about church. I write little scriptures in the margins. I never talk about my dating life or anything like that, even though it is a huge part of my life. I am editing myself through my letters. I know that he only knows what I tell him, and so I only tell him things I want him to know. It's really strange. I almost feel like I'm lying to him, but I guess, like i put in my last post... I'm just making myself better through media.
Idea: how do we act differently when we are not face to face with someone?
