Dear Mary,

Please find enclosed my entire noblet collection, as a sign that I forgive you
.


When I received your book, the emotions inside my brain felt like they were in a tumble dryer, smashing into eachother. The hurt felt like when I accidentally stapled my lips together. The reason I forgive you is because you're not perfect. You are imperfect, and so am I. All human are imperfect, even the man outside my apratment who litters.
When I received your book, I felt like a tumble dryer, tangled. I forgive you because you are not perfect. You are not perfect and neither am I. No one is perfect, including the one littering at the door.


When I was young, I wanted to be anyone but myself. Dr. Bernard Hazelhot said if I was on a desert island, then I would have to get used to my own company, just me and the coconuts. He said I would have to accept myself, my warts and all. And then we don't get to choose our warts. They are part of us and we have to live with them. We can, however, choose our friends. And I'm glad that I have chosen you. When
I was young, I was disappointed in myself. Dr. Bernard Hazelhot said that if I was on a desert island, I would like to live unaccompanied, just me and the coconut trees. He said then I'll accept myself, fully, and then we won't care about our flaws. It is also a part of us, and we have to live with it at peace. However, we can choose our own friends, and I am very happy to be your friend.


Dr. Bernard Hazelhot also said that, everyone's lives are like a very long sidewalk. Some are well paved. Others, like mine, have cracks, banana skins and cigatette butts. Your sidewalk is like mine, but probably not as many cracks. , one day, our sidewalks will meet and we can share a can of condensed milk.
Dr.Bernard Hazelhot also said that human life is like a long sidewalk, some of which are well-paved. Some, like mine, have cracks, banana peels, and cigarette farts. Your sidewalk is very similar to mine, but without as many cracks. Hopefully one day our sidewalks meet and we can have a can of condensed yogurt together.


You're my best friend, you're my only friend

Your American Penpal,

Max Jerry Horowits



P.S,

I have recently found a perfect job with a servey company. All I have to do is eat things and tick boxes.
I recently got a good job at a survey company and all I need to do is taste , then tick the box.

===================================

PPS
"que sera sera" is a wonderful song~
There are so many monologues in front of me, it's hard for me to get into the state. I thought that Mary was married and had a successful career, and the movie would be over soon. So I can't find a reason why everyone loves it so much. But since Mary got depressed because Max was angry, I was really looking forward to what happened next.

Although love is so fragile and sad many times, it is still the most beautiful thing in the world.

    Happiness can be shared with most people, lonely, but can only be shared with confidants

    Very worthwhile movie but very heavy

Mary and Max quotes

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: I have also invented some new words. "Confuzzled", which is being confused and puzzled at the same time, "snirt", which is a cross between snow and dirt, and "smushables", which are squashed groceries you find at the bottom of the bag. I have sent a letter to the Oxford Dictionary people asking them to include my words but I have not heard back.

  • Narrator: Max hoped Mary would write again. He'd always wanted a friend. A friend that wasn't invisible, a pet or rubber figurine.
