Julian: You picked your sister like you said and when you wrote down this letter and started
reading it, it felt like you were the one who felt like you were in the wrong.
Is that accurate? Participant 1: Yeah.
Julian: What would you say is the tension between you and your sister right now?
P1: The tension could be described as lack of communication.
Julian: Has it been communicated to you though that this has upset her in some way?
P1: It probably has but honestly right now I just, you feel it. A lot of times it feels
like an effort to try and confide in each other. We're brother and sister, it doesn't
have to be that way. Finding the right moment, this was set up, it was explained to me to
talk to the mirror but if you were to put my sister right there it would a hell of a
lot harder. Suddenly the tension is like right there. Do I want to call her?
Um, the problem being I'm out of battery on my phone. Alright yeah, why not.
Sister: Hello? P1: Alright where are you, are you outside?
Can you hear me clearly? Sister: Yes.
P1: So, real quick. I'm currently being videotaped for a Youtube channel it's Rainn Wilson's
Youtube channel it's called SoulPancake. They basically did a little survey regarding feelings
about forgiveness. They asked me to write about someone who was like important to me
and I wanted to talk to about. So I thought of you and I'm supposed to read this letter
to you. Okay? Sister: Okay.
P1: Alright so just bear with me while I read this. Sister: Wait am I on video?
P1: You're not on video, just your voice. Okay?
Sister: What am I supposed to say? P1: You just got to listen! You don't have
to say anything. Okay? For my sister Kelsey. I wish I had made more of an effort to be
a part of your life. It's not that I think I could have changed you for the better because
you're already as good as it gets. I hold you in my heart as one of the smartest, funniest,
most talented people I know. However now that I'm in Los Angeles, thousands of miles away
from home. I'm afraid I'll never have as great of a chance to help you through life's challenges
as I did these last 21 years. I want to make it a point from here on out to stay in as
close touch as possible and I want you to know that I care about you and I'm always
thinking about you and if there's ever anything you need from me, I'll be here for you. And
above all I want you to know for a fact that we both have all the love and support in the
world. Our mom, our dad, our grandparents, our great-grandmother, our aunts, our uncles,
our cousins, and our friends. And so long as you know that you should have all the confidence
in the world that everything is going to turn out just fine. So let's embrace the struggles
of life together so that we can make the best of anything that may come our way.
And that's it. She's stronger than I am so she's not crying probably.
Sister: Thank you.
P1: No problem. Alright so I miss you guys and I love you very much.
Sister: Love you too. P1: I'll talk to you soon.
Sister: Alright. P1: Alright?
Sister: Okay bye. P1: I'll talk to you later, bye.
And that's it.
