I KNOW THIS GUY!

New Experience. 

Everyday we read things written by someone right? But, it’s not everyday we get read something written by someone we know. Unless, you’re an English teacher then it’s part of your job to do exactly that. Anyways, recently I got the opportunity to read an essay written by someone I know.  It is crazy how you can see someone’s personality play out in writing. It really is something amazing to see. As I kept, reading I was right of the bat intrigued. The “introduction” was so captivating and flowed nicely. Now, I put quotes on introduction because it did not feel like a usual introduction. It was relatable and friendly. Almost comforting if I may say. The essay was never boring. And if I’m honest I did not feel like I was reading an essay. It felt like I was having an insightful conversation with the author. As the author, contumely always referred back to the reader in some way never leaving them out. It was quite the experience. So, to the author: thank you.
