— DAY 02 · OF 07 · THEIR LETTER —
♡
Dear stranger,
Your letter sat with me through breakfast. I thought about the yellow flowers for longer than I expected.
Today I want to tell you something I've not said out loud — I am writing to you partly because I am afraid of being known by people who already think they know me.
Yours,
— Pilgrim
