I've got mail
Jul. 22nd, 2021 05:09 pmI hate getting mail. Don't you? I also love getting mail, but that's different. Still, I wonder if there's a connection between these two deep feelings towards mail.
I hate getting any mail related to work or official stuff. I don't know why, but I always expect there to be some sort of trouble. Any official looking mail, any reply from someone from work - I always expect there to be trouble. Or I expect people to say that I'm doing everything wrong. And it's not that I often get "bad mail". I've never even gotten a ticket. (I didn't say this, you forces that make things happen the minute I say that they never do). I expect this is about my insecurity.
I love getting personal mail from people. I used to dream about tons of letters in my mailbox. I open a mailbox, and the letters just drop out, dozens, hundreds of them. Quite a lot of such dreams. I'm not sure whether I'm still having them, I don't remember many dreams these days. It's actually the same with comments here on DW. I love getting comments. But beside the fact that I love interacting with my readers (and, well, friends - by now), I love the mere fact that I'm getting comments. It sometimes just is enough for me to see that the number of messages in my inbox grew after I posted something. Hey, how d'you like this, it's also about my insecurity.
The reason I'm writing this is that there's an email in my mailbox I don't want to open. It's from the bank. And it was me who wrote to them in the first place. But I still do believe that the response is that I'm a stupid cow, and I'm not prepared to deal with it right now. So, instead of opening it, I'm writing this seemingly uninteresting entry (but self-analysis is always interesting and it is healthy!), after which I will close my laptop and drive to the shop to get some meat for a Bortsch that Grandma wants to eat. By the time I'll be back I'll be so tired of thinking about what the stupid bank answered that I'll open the email to finally find out and relax. Is anyone else here as insecure as I am? (I hope you aren't - for your sake, but I also hope you are, so I don't feel alone...:D)
PS: I opened the email! They said I was right! Yay! (I hope they never write again)))
