Okay, so today I decided to do something special. I wanted to create a “birthday love letter,” but not just any love letter. I wanted it to be, like, super personalized and memorable. It started with a simple idea, but it got kinda complicated real fast.
Brainstorming and Getting Started
First, I grabbed a notebook and started brainstorming. What makes this person special? What are my favorite memories with them? What inside jokes do we have? I jotted down everything that came to mind, no matter how silly it seemed. This part was actually pretty fun, just remembering all the good times.
The “Rough” Rough Draft
Then, I took all those messy notes and tried to form them into some kind of coherent letter. I didn’t worry too much about making it perfect, just getting the words on paper. Let me tell you, it was a mess! I had crossed-out words, arrows pointing everywhere, and some sentences that didn’t even make sense. But that’s okay, it was a start!
Polishing and Making it Pretty
After the rough draft disaster, I started cleaning things up. I rewrote sentences, rearranged paragraphs, and tried to find the perfect words to express how I feel. This took a while. I read it aloud, edited, read it again, edited some more… you get the idea. A lot of back and forth.
Then, I typed it into on my computer. It is easy to edit and save. I can save different format I want.
Final Touches
- I picked out some nice paper. Because it’s a special gift.
- Print it out and folded it.
- I even added a little spritz of my perfume.
Finally, I had a finished love letter! It took way longer than I expected, but it was totally worth it. I put so much thought and effort into it, and I know it’ll mean a lot to the person receiving it. Honestly, the process of making it was just as rewarding as giving it.
It is a great memory that record by myself.
