Dear Clark...

So I think my pregnancy hormones have started to kick in. I am crying at the most random times. I am crying when I paint because I run out of blue... or I cry when I get to work in the morning and there are customers waiting for me to open the doors.

I cry because other people are sad. And that is the hardest thing... feeling the emotions of others and having it effect me on such a deeper level.

I cry because I am scared. We are so close to the end of the first trimester... and I have yet to really go through the true 'hormone' stages of pregnancy that will come during the second and third trimesters. How much more will I feel from others? How much will it effect me?

Will I always feel sad? Or will other emotions effect me?

Even writing this letter, makes me cry. And how silly is that?
Yours, April
slayers_desire: (dont leave me)
Dear Clark...

This last year had its ups and downs. We faced success and we achieved new strength from the trials that were faced. It was hard to share you with the Kandorians. But it helped prepare me to share you with the rest of the world.

It was also hard to loss you again to death.

Everytime you have died I have felt a little bit of my heart break. And I thought for sure that this time I would not be able to handle it. But you came back... and I want to hold onto the belief that you won't be dying on me again.

And learning that we have to face 'a greatest evil' doesn't help me find that hope.

But I know that we need to be strong and fight this evil to give hope to hundreds of thousands of people. And when Martha gave you that Superman costume, I could feel that hope radiate from it. I know you are not ready to wear it yet. That you don't feel worthy... but you have always been my strength, my greatest ally, my supporter and have always given me hope.

We will be challenged again. One doesn't face evil without being challenged. I hope to be able to fight evil with you. To stand at your side. And for both of us to achieve our greatest destinies. Always know that I love you Clark.

I believe in you.
slayers_desire: (very busy woman)
Their lives are still quite busy. Clark working at the Daily Planet, April attending her gallery during the day, both of them saving innocent lives while wearing masks. Before the busy lives had made communicating a problem, and they had their first major fight. But even with a busy life... April does find a solution. Writing letters.

A so when she can't find the time to talk to him, she will write a letter and leave it someplace he can find it easily.

Dear Clark
I had an art critic in the store today. And not one of those professional, who honestly critics your work and helps you improve. But one of those annoying 'I don't understand this and I am going to make everyone else hear my rant' critics.

My art is not for everyone. I do understand that. But it was so frustration because his objective was to try to change the opinions of those who were in the store at the same time. And so because of him... I lost two sales. These nice old ladies were considering a piece, had a price in mind, and he started to rant around them about how 'stupid' it was to buy 'this garbage'.

I could feel their hearts crash. They felt insulted because they liked my art. And there was nothing I could do to fix the situation. The critic being loud and obnoxious. And when he left, I felt such an air of relief, but sadness at the effect he had in the store.

How do you handle critics of your writing? Of your job? I felt a little confused and uncertain on how to fix the situation. How do you apologize for an opinion of another person?

I understand why he didn't like my art pieces, but I don't understand why he couldn't respect the fact that others did like the art. That their opinions should be respected. But there are more people out there who force their opinions on others...

I don't think I will be working on any art tonight. Will most likely head to my 'other job' to vent out some frustration. See you later. Love you.

April
