&lt;p style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Aileron; font-weight: 300;"&gt;Dear Friend,&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Aileron; font-weight: 300;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Aileron; font-weight: 300;"&gt;I have written seven versions of this letter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Seven!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Aileron;"&gt;Which feels ridiculous when I say it out loud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Aileron; font-weight: 300;"&gt;I have rewritten the opening, changed the middle, reworked the ending, chased themes, deleted paragraphs and added them back in again.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Aileron; font-weight: 300;"&gt;I was trying to summarise 53 years of life into a few pages.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Aileron; font-weight: 300;"&gt;Which is impossible &lt;span style="color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;**sigh**&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I was the master of multi-tasking , or so I thought, and then all of sudden it was like my brain started short circuiting.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
