dearest kitty,
the sun is shining, the sky is deep blue, there''s a magnificent breeze, and i''m longing -- really longing -- for everything: conversation, freedom, friends, being alone. i long. . . to cry! i feel as if i were about to explode. i know crying would help, but i can''t cry. i''m restless. i walk from one room to another, breathe through the crack in the window frame, feel my heart beating as if to say, "fulfill my longing atst. . ."
i think spring is inside me. i feel spring awakening, i feel it in my entire body and soul. i have to force myself to act normally. i''m in a state of utter confusion, don''t know what to read, what to write, what to do. i only know that i''m longing for something. . .
yours, anne
