Dear Anita,

The Christmas light switch on sounds wonderful (: I love how people got into the Christmas spirit!

Today I actually had a rather productive day although I am finding that I am very much keeping myself busy. I think in terms of my ex it will be hard to get over him and its a misconception that because I ended it I must be going around happy-as-larry when in reality I am upset that he isn’t in my life anymore.

However, I have asked if we could be friends, so further down the line he may come back into my life and I will hopefully going to be in a better place.

In terms of my parents the silence can’t last too long as it’s my dad’s birthday this week and therefore there should be a text about meeting up to celebrate it. But I will deal with that on the day.

Thank you for the time and effort you have put into replying back to me.
