So, I have decided to keep it letters. Keep a little bit of mystery. If you think it's completely the wrong things, let me know but this is the next installment.
Hello,
I've just read the letter that you left in the front of my house. I'm sure that I don't know you, because you sound intelligent enough to not put the letter on the door step of a next door neighbor.
I will admit that I was a little shocked at it. It's not something that you find everyday, a letter on your doorstep in a cream envelope unaddressed.
I don't know if there was any point in replying to this but I thought that it best if I did, just in case. I'm sure that you'll check to see if the letter is gone. I have some things to say in the response to what you said.
Maybe you'd like to know a few facts about me. Well, I'm a female and I'm 18 years old, yes a little older than you. I live a privileged life, much like you seem to. My dad has a good job and he takes care of me. My mother died when I was 3. It was hard to grow up without a mother but I get over it. I'm like that, honest, brutal. So, you know what to expect. If you don't want to know the God's honest truth and my opinion then don't read any further.
So, I'll go in order. You said that you hide your emotions. I was the same, and I'm so much better off now that I let them out. My dad's kind of closed off so I thought that it was normal until I hit high school. It taught me something about myself that nothing or nobody else could. I may not have gone to a public school but even the private school Charlie paid for wasn't that sheltered. I came out of my shell and it made me a happier person. Maybe you should try it, just a suggestion.
Next issue to address would be the lifestyle that you described. I know what you mean, I'm around people like this day in and day out. I thought that I was subject to that lifestyle and I think I might still be but I think I've accepted that. I have my own personality and I refused to blend in quite as much as the others but a little bit of a stand out aura is a good thing, and I don't think that you could find someone who would disagree with that.
I have to say that I think you should talk to your parents. I think as parents they are meant to love you unconditionally. I think as much pressure as they put on you, they'd still love you if you want to follow a life of writing or a life of musical passion. If it's what you love, then they should love you for that.
If they don't, and as harsh as it sounds, then they need to be taught how to be parents. They need a lesson in life. I'm sure your father didn't become a doctor because he knew that he would become a part of the world you live in. I'm sure he did that out of passion and love for helping people. At least I hope that is why he did it.
I want you to know that your problems aren't pointless, and you should let people know them. I think that you have a communication problem. Again, harsh but the truth. They are not unimportant ramblings and you should value what you have and what you want.
I love that you want a tatty guitar case. I think every musician should have a time like that. It's like a classical cliché that a musician should struggle to get his, or her, music heard by the masses. They should have to live of the basic ranges and cheap super noddles. It's a given.
I noticed that you said you quote things all the time. I guess you quote great literature but I have a quote from John Mayer,
"People want to see musicians sing things that come from their own mind and own heart in real time, responding to the moment for them."
I was hoping that you compose music, and if not give it a try. I think that you could get all this built up emotion out in a song. Maybe you don't even need words as I know how much power instrumentals can hold to the listener. I think that music has the ability to touch the lives of everyone and I think that if you have the ability to play that should share it with whoever you can.
I hope that this hasn't been a bunch of insignificant rambling and I hope you read it. I think you could use someone to talk to. You can always leave another letter or leave a phone number.
I have one last thing to say and that is be who you want to be. Don't hide yourself, be who and what you are. I try to live by that and I wish that I had done that from a younger age. Enjoy your life, nobody should have pressure like that on them, defiantly not at 16. Enjoy being 16.
Thank you for some variety. It added something different to my day and I thank you for that. I feel like I have done my good deed of the day and I hope this helps.
Thanks for reading this, if it's you and if it's not, well you shouldn't have read it should you? I hope you now feel guilty for reading someone else's letter.
Goodbye
So, what do you think?

I think that this Bella is going to be a little sassy and a little sarcastic. She'll be honest and not so shy but she'll keep the blush.
Let me know and feel free to ask any questions
I have a blog and I'll post various things on there so check it out.
