Letters to ‘Unseen’ Entities #1

Dear Loss,

As you’re one of the unseen entities that makes our life ‘life’, I want to reach out to you in one of my letters. I don’t know how to give my greetings in the form of your world’s greetings. But even though I don’t think you deserve our gratitude filled greeting, I’m just going to offer you one. How are you Mr. Loss? How is everything treating you so far? I hope everything is okay with you!

Of the many things that breaks our hearts in life, you take a huge place. Loss of money, loss of power, loss of people, loss of passion…You are everywhere. And we even consider those who came across to you multiple times as heroes in our world. I am sure you’re finding this pleasant. Your sole effect on each one of us is immense that we try to hide from you as much as possible. Sadly you’re really good at what you do.


For me, personally, I want to ignore your importance in my life. Better yet, your existence Mr. Loss. Sadly all my attempts have failed. I believe you’re way more sophisticated and mature than me. You penetrated my heart so hard, I don’t even know how to recover from that. Mr. Loss, you have done quite a job that led me to lose myself in the process.

So dear loss, I want to congratulate you on your great work you’ve done in my life. I hope, [I cannot underline this enough], I am your last achievement.

All Yours,
Nouveaupetite
