[ WP ] A letter home from Max Caulfield after spending three years traveling with her Girlfriend Chloe enjoying beer , tats , weed , punk rock , and learning about her sexuality .

Dear mom and dad, 
 
 Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since I wrote. I know that I promised last time that I would write more, but things have just come up. I know that's a lame excuse, but it is true... I guess I should explain. 
 
 So I have n't been completely honest with you guys. I've been trying to hard to do this in person, but I feel like I ca n't keep it in anymore. Mom, dad, Chloe and I are dating. 
 
 I know. I know. This is so sudden, and such a horrible way to tell you that your daughter is probably gay or something, but I ca n't keep it inside anymore. I've been trying to hard to come visit, but Chloe is dragging me all around the country, showing me things I've never imagined. Guys, it's been so beautiful. 
 
 I've seen the lights of Vegas, the skyscrapers of New York City, Hollywood, San Fransisco, and more rock shows than I've ever thought possible. To be honest, I've never been happier. 
 
 Chloe has shown me so many beautiful thing besides the county, she's shown me complete happiness. I know I've told you about the storm, about how Chloe saved me from it, but guys, she's saved me from so much more. She's the most caring, loving, wonderful girlfriend I could ever have. She's there for me constantly, whenever I need it, never asking me for anything in return. I've never known what it meant to love someone like you two do, but now I know. Just do me a favor and never tell anyone I said she's like that. Got ta keep up that punk persona. 
 
 But anyway, punk rock shows are just exactly how you'd picture them, just not quite as violent. There's still the horrible smells, the crazy hair, and the dark lighting of the bar, but the music and atmosphere is usually very inviting and fun! Oh, and yes, I'm going to bars now. Do n't worry though, I still ca n't stand the taste of alcohol, so whenever I can convince Chloe to let me pass on drinking, I pass. It's not often that gets to happen though, sadly, and punk clubs do n't offer any'girly drinks' as my girlfriend so puts it. But anyway, I promise I'm not being completely irresponsible, just trying to feel as alive as I can out there, but honestly, Chloe can not be the greatest influence on that. But I promise you I'm safe, and I promise you that I'm happy for the first time in a long time. 
 
 So anyway, I promise you that this time I will write more often, and I plan to keep it. I also promise to be home very soon. I know I've sent you a few photos of Chloe and I, but you guys need to see her in person to believe it. I promise to bring home my first date soon so you can meet her dad ( I know this is n't exactly the way you invisioned it, but at least you wo n't have to worry about some boy taking advantage of me. Just Chloe ). 
 
 Love you guys and see you soon, Max
