Skrive til? - Du kan gjøre en forskjell

Jeg må si jeg ble helt utrolig positivt overrasket over responsen jeg fikk da jeg skrev om Bouncer – vi blir så utrolig glade av å se at folk er interessert i dette her! Nå håper jeg virkelig at minst en av dere setter tanken om å skrive til han ut i live, og han viser seg å være en kjempebra brevvenn!

google.

Men dere – det er så mange andre som også hadde satt uendelig pris på å høre fra noen i den frie verden! Og det så ut til at flere syntes det var fint å få litt tips om hvem man kan skrive til. Så nå har Monika og jeg funnet ut at vi skal lete litt etter folk som virkelig ønsker og trenger brev – spesielt av dem som på nåværende tidspunkt ikke hører fra noen – og «promotere» dem her på bloggen. Håpet er at dere finner noen av dem interessante nok til å gi dem en sjanse.

Vi har også kommet frem til at vi ikke poster bilder av dem her, siden vi er av dem som synes utseende ikke bør være en avgjørende faktor for om man velger å sende noen ett brev eller ikke, sant? Men klart – vil dere på død og liv se først, er det selvfølgelig mulig. Samme med hva de er dømt for – er det viktig for deg skal du selvfølgelig få vite det på forhånd! Bare spør oss om det er noe du lurer på. :)

"Greetings,

I am supposed to write something so unique and profound that you can’t help but pick me above all the others to invest a little of your tie into and hopefully make a new friend. Wow, talk about pressure! Maybe I could tell you that I made it all the way to Eagle Scouts and I had every survivor patch you could darn well imagine, you betcha…or how about in 7th grade I was Captain of the math team and I was moving in on the Chess Captain chair but they kicked me out of school for running a numbers racket. I would have to say that humor is huge with me and if you find yourself smiling from something I’ve written here then I think you and I could along like peanut butter and jelly.

My name is Allen and I am 41 years and currently busted and disgusted in this wonderful state of California. I’ve made a few mistakes, everything from bank robbery to purse snatching at the local convalescent hospital……Kidding, Kidding…Actually I have quite a few redeeming qualities but I think it’s up to you to find out what they are. I can offer you something cool and different in your mailbox and lots of great laughs and conversations.

So what do you think??? You in?"

..Og Kyle:

"Everyone deserves to be loved, regardless of past mistakes or poor decisions made in life. Even though society punishes those that commit errors, it also champions redemption. This allows us to learn from our past missteps becoming better more productive individuals. With that said, my intent with this ad is simple: to find real, tangible friends ad relationships in this world. People talk about their social media “friends”, but what really is the depth of those relationships? I’m a quality, not quantity, type of person. One can have a thousand social media friends but how real are they? Personally I’d rather have one true friendship than a thousand social media friends.

I’ve spent almost a decade behind bars now and in that time most of my friends and family have fallen by the wayside. As time goes by, people become less and less concerned about the lives of those in here, not because they are cruel but because it’s easy to forget those you never see. “Out of sight, out of mind.” That’s been the case for me, and my interaction with the outside world over these past years has been nominal at best.

I’d like to learn more about others and how best to interact with them. I’m a generous heart, an ear that listens, and a soul craving friendship. I know there are free people out there that feel exactly the same way.

Take a chance and be my friend, you won’t be disappointed. Take care."
