DEAR MISTRESS ALISA,
First off I hope you had a nice week.
I want to tell you how much I appreciate all the help you have given me and how much I sincerely value you. I don’t think you fully appreciate the level of confidence I have in you while sharing my most intimate thoughts. I have told you things that I have never had the nerve to say to anyone and to be honest to never admit to myself. I have poured my heart out to you and you have responded with compassion and sincerity. You have also called me out when I try to bullshit you and, to be honest, myself as well.
I have come to look forward to our conversations even though I know they will be difficult and that you will not pull your punches. I know it is not easy for you to hear the problems we have day after day. However, you doing so shows the kind of person you are. I can tell how much you care about helping people like me. Thank you for that.
I know what you have said about this but I have to say it. I not only want to not disappoint myself, but I do not want to disappoint you as well. It motivates me and I know it helps with my motivation in moving on.
There is a great deal unsaid. I just want you to know that you are valued and one day you will be recognized for the work you are doing.
