Dear Nearly: Part 11 "Pinballing"

your last letter was upsetting and i wish you future success. i'm sorry to hear about the breakup or should i say breakups. if you had listened to me from the start, you wouldn't have opened your heart to Sorry. she's very kind, to be sure, but always apologizing because she's so unsure of herself. and then to suffer the exposure of getting tied up in a rebound relationship with Availably. unfortunately for you, she seems to come and go whenever she pleases or when the possibility arises (i guess you could say fortunately for the other guy she is the way she is, but you just wait, he'll experience what you did). i don't even want to mention what you told me about Vaguely, because, i said what i said, and now maybe you can realize why i said that about her. anyways, i'm happy for you regarding Fondly. she sounds sweet and understanding. plus, i've heard good things about her from Proudly and Humbly. it is often said that those of opposing gender can often be beguiling, but your peevishness will only continue to grow unless you learn to adapt yourself as well. i've had my unfair share of heartache and disappointment myself. but let's be honest, Nearly every time you get close to someone you withdraw for whatever reason. you might want to address this foil soon, Nearly you might lose her and find yourself pinballing once again...
