You can totally tell the melodramatic ones from the more restrained and the like by the family letters. It's kind of fun trying to decide why people choose to include some stories and not mention others at all. Sometimes sibling rivalry among 60-80 year olds comes through which is hilarious.
I always react very emotionally to things but then get over it very quickly and bounce back to my more usual cheerful eternal optimist. So life sucked when everything was going wrong for a few days. Now I've had a couple days with little bits of good news and I'm practically bouncing off the walls. I'm a bit silly.
Typing that, I just realized that makes me sound more like Tonks than I've ever considered. I identify more with Remus. Hmmmm....
