I admit it will take time to reacquaint myself not only with the city but also with my home. There is comfort in its familiarity, and yet, I am disconnected from it. I know this feeling is fleeting.

While it has been some time since I've come to write my profound thoughts to be recorded by the exemplary scholars of Vellichor, I have spent much of my time in contemplation, carefully considering my words and what exactly I wish to leave behind as a legacy. Our words reach far and wide and have the ability to hurt or heal. Our words leave lasting impressions which can leave scars deep beneath the surface of one's flesh. For that reason, I have always chosen to write from love than hate.
I feel an incredible amount of gratitude in my life; in the life I remember. Been given a second chance to live does not always feel like a gift especially when one cannot remember their origins. It took me many years to come to an understanding and come to accept the reality of my situation, that I may never recover those memories of who I once was. I was saved, nurtured, cared for, and healed by the generosity of those who found me on the shores of Setarco many moons ago. I will forever be grateful for them, forever in their debt even if they have told me numerous times I've already repaid them ten times over. For me, their unconditional love and support is worth that and an infinite amount more.
As a lost teenager, I was not always kind. I did not appreciate them and took them for granted. In the private rage I harbored, I took my anger out on them and left the sanctity of the home they offered me in order to love my life by my rules. The streets were not kind, warm, or inviting. I had to hustle for money just to eat and of course my pride did not allow me to return to the home whose doors were always opened to me. There were nights where I had no shelter, days where I went hungry.
When I found my niche and money flowed steadily, I always took a part of my earnings to buy extra food for those I'd come to know on the streets and for the new faces who were lost like I had been. I asked for nothing in returns and instead said to pay this kindness forward.
After I completed my training at the Courtier Academy in Setarco, I returned to my foster family and left them more than enough money to ensure their home and business were safe. I've not seen them in many, many years and admittedly, a part of me feels they are better off not having me in their lives, but I am thankful, grateful, and blessed to have been loved so when I could not love myself.
I pay this forward now, with gratitude.

You're welcome.
P.S. I have added a course on recalling memory and overcoming forgetfulness, free of charge.

While it might seem to others that I am quite reserved and prim, it is not beneath me to indulge in a tale (or two) of romance. There was a time I wrote love letters for those who for a lack of better terms could not get the quill up and suffered tremendously with the ability to convey with words exactly how they felt. Actually, that was not the problem. They knew exactly what they felt but lacked the finesse of waxing poetic.
But I digress, are these books really -that- good? Should I attempt to get my hands on a copy? Will I be thoroughly entertained? Inquiring minds...

As a Whisper, part of my experiences involves providing exceptional Courtier services. Perhaps there is someone who has recently come of age who seeks to learn what it takes to be not just a Courtier, but a Whisper! I was trained at the esteems Courtier Academy in the Silken City of Setarco and spent many years after completing my education traveling all over Arvum.
Perhaps there is someone who seeks to expand their circle of friends and acquaintances. Or perhaps yet, there is someone out there who seeks this sort of partnership because we are both so different, we can provide balance to one another's life. I am excited to se where this prospect goes.

The rush of adrenaline hits me; the amount of power and control I wield is addicting and of course knowing I am getting the most for my clients coin is what drives me to work even harder.
Perhaps I will celebrate yesterday's good fortune with a trip to the beach.

It began as a project for an advanced etiquette course at the Courtier Academy in Setarco and quickly became something else; A passion. There were so many letters after a while, and I knew I could not possibly answer them all. When I gave notice of my hiatus, I heard hearts breaking all over. Perhaps once I have settled myself in Arx, I can take up the quill once more. For the sake of sharing, here is one of the first letters of beseeching advice I received;

Dear Evangeline,
I find myself silly for writing to you, but, I cannot help the feeling in my heart. There is someone I fancy and I fear my feelings are not reciprocated. This person is so near and dear to me, they might think of me as a sibling. My love for them began in childhood and has suddenly blossomed. I cannot eat, I cannot sleep. I am racked with worry that if I share my feelings, I will lose this person from my life completely. Please help me with this dilemma.
Signed,
Not-a-Sibling in Setarco
