THANKS FROM MEXICO
I’ve been thinking about how to do this for days and I still don’t have a clear idea, so I’ll just let the words come out.
Like all the letters you receive, I’m doing this to try and say thank you. Believe me, there are not enough words to express my feelings and gratitude for you and your work. I started watching "The X-Files" (of course!) when I was 13 and now I am 20. I want to believe I grew up with you and the "X-Files" team, as it immediately changed my point of view about many things in my life and I created an identity for myself from what I was learning from the show. My sister still thinks I’m obsessed, maybe I am, but no one can imagine how this obsession has helped me through all these years. When I was in high school, I “lost” the show for a while, and as a consequence I lost myself. I found myself doing nothing at all for my family and even for me, I didn’t want to study, work or even live until I found a card which I bought, with the words “Nothing disappears without a trace.” It was in that second that I realized I was someone and I wanted to do something, I just had to find myself. Of course I was, and still am, an X-Phile, so I began to watch my recorded tapes and then bought the DVDs. I can tell you they had the same impact on me as they did the first time I watched them, and I found all the strength to make the best of my life. Now I’m studying English Literature (hope we’ll be colleagues one day! heheee) and I just hope that one day I can make an impact on others in the same way you and your work affected my life. Reading the "Fight the Future" script was an indescribable experience, and besides my addiction to Mulder and Scully, I’m addicted to your words, and everything that you write.
I have met some incredible people thanks to the show and I am learning to overcome distances, borders, languages, costumes…
So I guess that is just one more gift from "The X-Files."
I hope, in fact I know, that the movie will be successful, because we, the fans, are still here, maybe with lots of things to do such as school and work… but we are and will always be here, because personally I could never leave the show that has made me who I am today.
I’m even doing the impossible and going to the L.A. premiere, so I hope to see you there!
Many, many thanks for everything and for this space that makes me feel a bit closer to you.
Thank you!!!
