Dear ER,
I enjoyed your last article on the fears of change in your last issue. I never realized how many other people fear change and are overwhelmed by complexity. I always felt so alone. I never noticed, but I am scared by my surroundings. Sometimes I feel like everything will pass and I will stuck behind. The article helped me realize I may not be able to understand everything, I just need to stick with it.

Dear ER,
I am often scared of growing up. I don't want to graduate from highschool and leave the house. I want to forever live in the safety of my parent's home. Adulthood scares and mystifies me. After reading the "Child To Adult" article in the last issue, I realized how naive I was. I guess I always knew my views of childhood was a little too innocent. But it was a world where I could escape too. Anyway, thanks for everything.

Dear ER,
Your article "Ducks in Central Park" really inspired me. I was the kind of person who always viewed things in a narrow perspective. I am 16 years old, yet many people referred to me as being 30. After reading your article I felt inspired to live my age. Now I am doing things I have never done before. Life is great.
