Let’s hope I don’t have to do too many more of these.

#18. WRITE A LOVE LETTER TO A NICE YOUNG LADY.

Late last week, a love letter surfaced from an 18-year-old Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

It appears MJ attempted to court a young lady through written word.

Such an exercise these days, would seem revolutionary since peeps don’t write letters.

The kiddies use things like Facebook chat and that archaic communication concept known as AOL Instant Messenger.

Perhaps an average courtship between two youngsters over the internet goes like this (with poor spelling added for dramatic effect):

BOBBY: HEY CAITLIN, WHAT DO U THINK OF UZ AND I GETTING TOGETHER? I HAVE VERY STORNG FEELINGS 4 U.

CAITLIN: BOBBY, YOU’RE A REALLY NICE GUY BUT I THINK WE’RE BETTER AS FRIENDS.

BOBBY: LOL, HAHAHAHAHA. YOU’RE PROBABLY RIGHT. YOU GOING TO DA BAR 4 $2 CAR BOMBS ON FRIDAY???

I’m guessing this is the average discourse between college aged kids of this era.

Use MJ’s example. Was the letter grammatically correct? Not even close. It’s an effort to generate something though.

Consider this. Jordan took time out of his day to write to this girl. Obviously, his relationship with the woman didn’t go anywhere substantial. However, she thought enough of the letter to keep it long enough for someone else to profit from it.

At the bare minimum, it’s a chance to craft your writing skills. Lord knows that is probably the most underrated life tool out there.

Try writing a letter. You’ll stand out from the other ruffians sending secret Facebook messages.

What’s the worst scenario? She doesn’t write back? Who cares. At least you purged your soul.
