Impression

V,

I've figured you let someone else read these letters I give you, and again I figure that would eventually happen. Although, I expected sooner. Perhaps, I irritated more quickly than I have imagined.

What was his impression about them? Btw, he has emailed me about them. And no, you would not know about that conversation. At least not from my side.

Let me retrace a few steps. And by a few, I will exaggerate. My first impression about you somehow still applies: you are someone mysterious, and serious, and difficult to gauge. And although I've known many things about you, I figure I still know a little. And I haven't known you enough, perhaps not in my level of enough. That would take another letter to explain (so you might as well wait for that one).

Impressions. Why am I again writing? And why am I still, if I know others are able to read? Does that even matter? Does it now affect the way I write?

Well, whoever you will be whom Vince would permit to read these, it actually excites me to know so. That another person will be reading my thoughts. That another clueless individual would take a peek at what I call my deep well. Of vague generalizations, of specific simplicity.  Of abstract and reality. Of details and what-have-you random things. But no, your reading this would not affect the way and things I'd write. Only one thing so far did: the Platonic 'reply' I got from him.

I may have been releasing an impression that I am equally mysterious as he is, that I am readable to those I deem to be able read me. That I have an impenetrable defense. And that impression I drop.

I am what I think I am, and it is most likely different with what you think of me. And that I speak to the random stranger and Vince, though that would mean differently. In the same way, I may consider you in a manner altogether unique with your own disposition of yourself.

Is it now a battle of impressions? And wit? I dismiss that as well. Go figure. But this I tell, double-sided. Either you are able to figure it out or are altogether confused. But impress me, and I challenge you. Reply.
