Ok, I'm going to stop writing now

"My Dearest Friend,

…should I draw you the picture of my heart it would be what I hope you would still love though it contained nothing new. The early possession you obtained there, and the absolute power you have obtained over it, leaves not the smallest space unoccupied.

I look back to the early days of our acquaintance and friendship as to the days of love and innocence, and, with an indescribable pleasure, I have seen near a score of years roll over our heads with an affection heightened and improved by time, nor have the dreary years of absence in the smallest degree effaced from my mind the image of the dear untitled man to whom I gave my heart."


An excerpt from a letter written by Abigail Adams to her husband John. I thought I was somewhat eloquent. That word should definitely be reserved for writings other than mine. My heart is lifted and transformed by words like these. It's like hearing opera or seeing a beautiful landscape... at sunrise; beautiful words are good for the soul. I wanted to share.
