Dear hot men of my current or future acquaintance,

Please always be dressed in these clothes. We’ll discuss footwear later. For now it’s nearly summer so you can be barefoot in your worn jeans and cowboy shirt.

Thanks ever so,

Dear trees,

Thank you for lovely, brilliant, bright, colorful flower buds. I very much look forward to meeting the blossoms they will produce in the next few days. You have all made me very very very happy.

All the love in my heart,

your spring baby, jj

Dear universe,

I know you like shake things up sometimes. Put up things that look like walls but are actually paths. Rock the boat without pointing out just how close to shore we are. And all your other tricks. I appreciate the hard shove in the right direction, but could please try not bruise me when you push me?

Thanks,

jj

Dear body,

I know you’re female, and I like that, I do, but perhaps the monthly blood demonstrations of feminity could be foreshortened to a couple odd days a year and entirely without pain? ‘Cause that’s be really swell.

crampily,

miss jj
