Letter from Ogai Mori

Good evening, my dear [Your Name]!
It’s snowing in Yokohama today, so dress warmly. Alice is already in full Christmas mood. Speaking of which, have you decided about my invitation? I would be delighted to spend Christmas with you. Of course, work takes up a lot of time, but I can skip a day for you.
Recently, I’ve been reflecting on things, and you know what I want to say?
Learn to trust yourself and analyze situations; it’s indeed a useful skill. Always use your head and try not to rely too much on others, as the human factor plays a significant role throughout our lives. Treat failures as experiences. This year hasn’t been the most successful, but potential mistakes can help you in the future if you’re able to recognize them.
Oh, and how do you like the ring I recently sent? It’s quite charming, isn’t it? I think it looks splendid on you! I hope to see it in person someday.
See you soon.
With all redpect, Mori Ogai
