Sam and Emma: A Love Story in Emails - 3

My Dearest Emma,
Received your email. Much relieved to know you have a place to stay for awhile and that you are not alone there in Bonn. Since your family is in Weimar, I was wondering why you didn't settle back there. I guess that falls under the heading of you can't go home again. Things are never the same as when you left. You aren't the same person you were when you left Germany years ago.
I very much wish you would stop talking yourself into a deep funk. You will get a job. You are very good at what you do. You do not always believe that, but it is true. Just try to believe in yourself and your abilities. Try to keep upbeat, kiddo. You have the unique knack of seeing things in the worst possible light. You just got there, so just take things one day at a time. Things are going to work out for you.
I care very much about what happens to you, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. It goes with the territory when someone loves you as I do. And yes I know, that our relationship is what it is and that there are boundaries which we shouldn't and which we don't cross. Knowing that doesn't make this arrangement, me here, you there, any easier. At least you are single and even if this is difficult for you too, at least things are not as complicated for you as they are for me. But there is nothing we can do about things, is there? Just know I love you very much.
Anyway, just focus on what you have to do immediately. Work on the job issue and keep me posted about what is going on with you. And take care of yourself. Don't beat yourself up. You are very good at that and that is a really bad habit. I try not to worry about you. But I do anyway.
I miss you deeply and profoundly.
WRITE SOON!
Much love,
Sam

hi, syfox here. i have read ur comments on the science post. your comments on science changed my judgement on science. it had made me more aware about science and how important it is. i have asked more questions in science class and wondered 'how does that work' and stuff. when you said that we couldn't have this convo without scince it changed my thoughts. thankyou.
anyway, you do not have to send me the book 'Science Matters'. i think i will be fine with my science teachers. though thank you for the offer.
i always ask questions if i dont understand and stuff so yeah...i think i should get my basic stuff on science from the teacher because if i dont understand i can just ask her.
thanks,
syfox
