A Letter to a Soap Opera from a Thirteen Year Old Hopeful

I am about to make your day! I promise!! There is NO WAY what I am about to share with you will not make you laugh out loud, and possibly shed a few tears! This is one of the few times in my life I am so grateful I didn't send a letter I wrote....And now I am putting it out there into the universe to bring joy to people that might be having a rough day....I swear, the following letter is REAL! I REALLY wrote it, and truly intended to send it. ENJOY!!!




I love that I included my address. I must have either thought they would write me a letter back, or just show up at my house and try to woo me in person! Completely understandable!

And to think, had I actually sent this letter out, it could have been the start to my acting career. So many lines left unsaid, so many autographs left unsigned. Alas, no regrets!

  1. 2 things:

    A. Your post made me laugh so hard I choked on my tea.

    B. You should've mailed it. Barbra Streisand sent me an autographed picture when I wrote her a fan letter at the age of 11.

  2. HAHAHA!! sorry about the choking thing :) that is SOOO amazing about Barbra Streisand!!! at age 11? amazing!! You don't have a copy of that do you? Could be next week's post!
    I did send many letters when I was younger and got responses: Fred Savage (huuuuge crush!), Judy Blume...Not sure why I never sent the one to As the World Turns, but I am soooo thankful I still have it!

  6. I'm still laughing, this is great! I started watching Days of Our Lives when I was about 11 and could have written a letter like this myself - I swore I would be the star of a daytime soap :) Then life happened...
