It's this girl saying she and Amy used to write letters to each other when they were quite young. The girl's selling all the letters and other stuff Amy sent her (dollies, necklaces, about 75 pictures, etc) Quite funny to read.

Has it been posted before? If not, I'll translate it. (It's in Dutch)

The sad part is, someone actually bid on it

I met Amy at the age of 9, during a holiday in Brazil, where her family was as well. Despite us not talking each other’s language, it immediately clicked and communicating worked out eventually. When I had to return home, we decided to write letters to each others.

We barely wrote to each other at the beginning, but with some time passing by; the amount of letters rose. Especially when I was in Secondary school; I started talking English fluently enough.
Amy had all kinds of problems. She, for example, had to cope with a boyfriend that mistreated her mentally & physically. She was enormously suicidal and got bullied a lot in high school. I was always there for her; I tried to cheer her up with nice letters, called her and convinced my parents to visit her. Which only happened two years later.

When I saw Amy, I was shocked to death. She was wearing a big, thick sweater while it was freaking hot, she was all pale and didn’t even seem to appreciate my presence. I didn’t feel comfortable with her and wished to go back home. Until something broke and she started crying. She cried her heart out and told me she couldn’t handle life anymore. I tried to make Amy have a good, time and luckily, we clicked just like we did the first time we met. It even seemed she was a little happy.
She was very away the last day, and when waving me out (I was going back home), she burst into tears and kept yelling: “Don’t leave me alone!”.

A few days after me getting home again, I received a very long letter of Amy’s, saying she was so thankful; and that it something was bothering me, she’d always be there for me.

Unfortunately, she hasn’t kept that promise. It went down the hill with me, I had a lot of “home issues” and my best friend had committed sucuide (threw himself in front of a train).
I wrote her a letter to tell her I wasn’t doing well. After waiting 8 for months (!!), I got a reply.
She was too busy, she was playing in a little band named ‘No Fear’ and was too busy with school. She no longer had the need to write long letters anymore.


That’s the last thing I heard from her.

I decided to sell all the letters she sent me. It no longer has any value to me. Even if the highest bid is just € 1, I’m satisfied.

You receive:

-139 letters
-2 tapes with some songs sung by Amy
-Approximately 75 pictures Amy sent me
-Little things like necklaces, articels she cut out of papers & magazines, drawings, etc.

A girl sent me a mail, asking me if all of this is true. So I thought, it’s hard to prove. So I decided that, whoever has the highest bid, can come over to my place to check out the letters and other stuff; and then eventually decide whether they want to buy it (or not).
