To: Violet From: Mom

Dear Vi,

There is so much greatness in you my love.  You are so artistic, imaginative, and creative.  I want you to have a place to share that safely with the world.

I also want to protect you.  I want you to write anonymously without fear of judgment.  I want you to draw without fear of criticism.  I want you to have a place where you can be YOU.

Sometimes its hard for you to understand social ease.  That’s okay, you don’t want to be like everyone else anyway.  YOU just be YOU.  In your real life, you are forced to conform to courtesies and contexts that you didn’t chose for yourself.  I want you to have this blog to be, say, do, whatever you want, without worrying if its rude, inappropriate, or too much for someone to handle.

Just be YOU.  Use this blog as you wish…

Love,

Mom
