AUREET'S LETTERS — Letter to Sageet for her 18th Birthday
February, 1981
…I really want to share with you what I've learned and help you down the road! First I want you to know that you can always call me! When you are bummed out, confused, etc.! I'm here to help not just as your sister but also as your friend. I love you very very much and you are very special to me…
Now back to the sop. MEN! Your last letter on the male species of the animal kingdom sounded very familiar…
…It really is hard to find someone who is special or halfway normal and I should know! I don't really know what to tell you. I really believe that they are out there but they are hard to find and they are usually in the last place you would look. It seems that all my women friends are asking the same questions - How do you go about finding them? I still haven't found the best answer. Some go slow and find one after time; others go through many before they hit the jackpot. Sometimes you have to go through a bunch before you figure out what is really important and what you really want and need. I guess we each have to find our own way. Let me just say this - you are really super and have a hell of a lot to offer so don't worry; I'm sure you will find what you are looking for. Just take it easy it will come in time… Also, you are special and can afford to be more selective (very very selective) about who you are willing to get involved with. Love is not an easy business and it takes time to find it and energy to make it grow and work to keep it! Patience and faith are the key. In the meantime don't let the disappointments get you - just learn from them. Also, find some meaning, purpose and direction to your life, if you fill your life with other things that give you fulfillment it will help. Also…sex is not love nor is it the way to get love. Sex can be an expression of love but only when love is already there. Otherwise it is a hunger that stems from emptiness and loneliness which cannot be filled, not really, or only for the moment. It is only real true and fulfilling when you have found real love, sharing and caring with someone special…
Obviously you have to go your own way and make your own mistakes, and mistakes are always the way to learn and grow. I just want to help any way I can. A couple of things might help: imagine if you were lying on your death bed looking back on your life and think of what you want to be able to say about yourself and then live each day as if it meant everything in terms of where you are going.
