memory lane

This post at my bff's blog inspired me to take a dusty box of letters off the closet shelf, to search for her letters to me from back when we were in college. What a trip!



I'm so glad I saved them! It's so cool to reconnect with her former self, and in a way, through her words, who I was at the time. The letters are all over 10 years old, and focus a lot on BOYS, classes, and friendships. A couple of boys in particular reappear in her letters, it's funny to remember how consumed we'd become... It was also interesting to read how unhappy we both were our 1st semester away at college. I remember it being a tough transition for me, and I'd be curious to see what I had to say about it in my letters.

One of the best things about re-reading Leah's letters are her little doodles and poems. I can see hints of the direction her art has taken now, even from these long-ago, quick and random sketches:
