FIVE

Pippa,

I think you're name's pretty nice, I bet it suits you. Pretty by name pretty by nature, you get me.

I couldn't agree more with what you said about having good times and bad, sometimes things can be both positive and negative at the same time. It's just strange I guess, but we get on with what we're doing anyway. And also, I'm here to be a friend to you. If you have troubles, I want to discuss them. Only if you're comfortable with doing so of course, but don't feel like you have to keep them quiet from me either.

Now, I can't believe you'd even consider yourself to be dull! Having interests that aren't the norm is really intriguing to hear and, owning your own business is amazing. Like, you started with an idea, a passion and now it's this thriving store that you make a living off of. It sounds like such a nice place, and given my devout interest in coffee I'll have to make sure to stop by some time for a cup and some conversation with you (only if you want to communicate beyond these letters though).

The book store sure must keep you busy with all of those activities going on, I'm surprised you even have time to reply to these. (Damn I wish you could insert emojis into actual letters because this would be the perfect place to put in the crying with laughter one, and oh look I'm rambling again)

Acting is fun, I agree with your view on it there but it can be so unbelievably draining that it doesn't quite feel like it's worthwhile sometimes; you kind of forget that you have a life of your own to live, it's only the lack of privacy that seems to alert you to that. Well, that's what it was for me anyway.

I'm glad someone can see it from my perspective and be happy that I'm taking a break. I was part of such a big franchise that people are just worried for the future of Bucky within the films instead of being concerned for me and what I may want to do. I've received a lot of backlash online for taking this step back, so a social media hiatus kind of came along with it too.

I've haven't been to the Grand Canyon, it's always been one of those places that I've thought 'I should probably go there one day, should be quite cool' but I never quite got around to it or had the time to do so. Are there any other places you have in mind that you'd like to visit? I've always wanted to go to Australia for a vacation. I've been for press tours and such, but never got chance to take time for myself to enjoy the surroundings, the animal parks, beaches, all of it.

In regards to your question about recommending me things to do, go for it! Recommend away by all means, Pippa. I find myself with far too much time and little to do so please just suggest as many things as possible really.

Now, to answer your final questions, about regrets. I'm not sure I have many regrets, I'm pretty content with how my life has turned out even if it has been absolutely hectic for the most part. The one thing I do wish is that I'd settled down by now, I'm thirty three already and I've never had a relationship where we even discussed kids or marriage, we barely even got to living together before my schedule messed things up but, oh well, there's still time for that yet.

Seeing as we both seem like questions so much, here are a few for you: do you have any regrets? Things you wish you would have done differently given the chance to? What's something you feel the proudest to have achieved? (I imagine it may be your business, but I'm intrigued either way) And if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? (I know, I know, it's rude to ask a lady her age but it's worth a try)

Write back,

-Seb
