Dear Marc,

Wow. I thought you were better than this. I really did.
This is the THIRD. TIME. THE THIRD TIME you’ve broken things of with my mom. We were looking at HOUSES the other day. We got you a Fathers Day gift. We were ready to accept you into our family. And this is what you do.
The first time I was confused and sad. It wasn’t long before you came back. The second time. I can understand why you did it. But that’s not any way to treat another human being. I thought you learned from that mistake. On the trip, I was about ready to punch you. I understand you were “focused,” but at least accept that you spoke to my mom disrespectfully. I could tell something was off the other day. You yelled at me to shut up in the car, even if Jet and my mom don’t remember it. It hurt me. I felt how you felt yesterday.
I was so, so confused. She said something. She was just joking around. All she said was “good for you.” When my brother said the stupid comment, she dealt with it. It was done. And then you went in and refused to listen to him. I hate the way you treat him. You’re so hard on him. Don’t TALK to my brother that way. He was just trying to give a suggestion. You didn’t want to listen. That was fine. She told you “ok, good for you.” And then you just…LEFT? That was so, so confusing. She didn’t even call you that name as you were leaving. You made it up. But…we were just sitting there. My mom understood her mistake (a small one at that) and you refused to forgive her.
You NEVER want her side of the story. It’s always Marc. Marc’s opinion. Marc’s way. Marc, Marc, Marc. You treat her with disrespect in front of us, and the second she retaliates, you break things off. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME. My rage has only had time to boil. I swear to the lord up above, you’d better not come crawling back again. You are an idiot. You don’t CARE about the way you make others feel. YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELF. That or you’re ignorant.
You deserve nothing. NOTHING.
I thought you cared. I really did. But you were a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A disgusting, ignorant human being. And I hope you die alone so that you’ll never treat another person the way you did my mom. Im giving back all the gifts you gave me. They didn’t mean anything. You didn’t love us. Argue all you want, but if you loved us, you wouldn’t treat us like this.
Hurt my mom again, and I will track you down myself.
You deserve to suffer.
Rot in hell, Marc.

to G and K.

thanks for the wasted years. K, i spent 5-6 years crying over you every time you threatened to leave the community, every time you threatened to unalive… i’m realizing now that those were wasted tears. because you never cared about me the way i cared about you. i was crying over you while all you cared about was some pixel puppies and kittens. i call you a narcissist because you ARE one, it sucks that you can’t see that yourself and maybe change yourself for the better.

G, you genuinely were a pretty good friend for a while but after you leaked my vent outside of the vent channel, i never trusted you. i don’t know why you thought that was a good idea. i wasn’t threatening K, i wasn’t even wishing anything on her. my brain was just on overdrive that day, and i was MISSING her. i didn’t want her back, though. i was missing the bond we had, i was missing a lot. but i wasn’t missing her.

but i’m glad i left you both. because now you’re more toxic than ever before. we all want the drama to stop, so please go get a hobby ❤️

love, R.

Dear T

hope you're well. I know I am, since we last spoke. It's been freeing being away honestly. I miss having what you were to me though. it's hard, telling people I lack one

[triangulum_mori]

i hope you're okay.
the last you told me, your transphobic parents were forcing you to watch some bigoted movie, and then you were gone.
a month ago.
on my birthday.
i wonder if you ever finished that present you said you would give me. i know that's selfish.
i hope you don't hate me now. for making you realize you weren't a boy, for getting you in so much trouble with your parents because i helped you rrealize you were a girl and because i talked to you so so much.
i know you're still alive, which comforts me, if only a little.
but i miss you. i miss you, i miss you, i miss you so much.
every day, i feel a glimmer of hope that you'll return today.
every night, i hole myself up in my room and cry knowing you won't.
i know i've only known you for a little over a year, but you're the closest ive ever been with someone, other than my actual girlfriend.
i want to make you my girlfriend as well. but i know you don't like me that way. that's ok. but it hurts.
thank you for everthing, i pray to see you again

[neapolitan]

Hey xxx.

i don't know what you're up to anymore. I can't help being curious even if i never want to see you again. isn't that a bit funny? i can already guess that as soon as you find a way, you'll try to contact me or someone i know. you just can't accept that your behavior is wrong and that has been and always will be your downfall. it's not necessarily that you were a bad friend, i actually really liked you for a long time... and i keep telling myself that it was wrong but at this point, who knows? all i know is i'm not doing it again. you got me to think your opinions were mine- i thought i was thinking clearly and deciding for my own but in the end, of course i didn't. and as much as you hate confronting your own bad behavior, you need to learn from these mistakes.
and hey, i'm happy. and... so is she. and i love her more than you ever did. wouldn't surprise me if you never really saw her as a person at all. you hurt her so bad for what? for me? get over yourself. i don't care what you think about my view on this, i don't want to hear your reasons or excuses, and i definetly never want to see you again. i hope you lose sleep over your mistakes beyond your pathetic guilt trips. and hey, i'm glad you left my friends alone. please stay away from them, they don't deserve backlash for my choice to break things up with you. and if you want to crawl back into my life, go to me. don't go to them. i can own up to my choices but i won't let you force that upon people you either hurt or never cared about.

love, Zach <3

dear a,

congrats on your marriage last week, and i'm sorry i didn't congratulate you in person. it's been over 5 years since we've talked face to face and i always feel too awkward going up and talking to people. we were best friends for 14 years and now it's like we don't know each other. i know we have nothing in common anymore, but i want to say that im happy for you and i do miss you and the times we shared with each other. we never even fought or were in arguments, we just so happened to drift apart and stop talking. we may never talk again, so i wish you a good life and happiness. its all i've ever wanted for you and i have no ill will toward you. we are just on completely different paths.

i'm always happy to see you posting your cosmetology stuff on social media and i enjoy seeing that you are doing well. I know i don't post much but i just graduated from college and am working on getting into medical school. i know this letter is all over the place, and i just wanted to say that i miss you. if we never get the chance to speak again, i hope you have a good and amazing life and you keep true to yourself and your beliefs.

love your childhood best friend,
a

dear me

im sorry that i made you disregard your own boundaries so much
im sorry that i made you learn the hard way that a relationship with her wasn't worth it
im sorry that i put you through everything i did with her
im sorry that i made you put up with her because of the pressure of everyone else;; "she's your mother, you should at least try"
im sorry that i let her hurt you for as long as she did
im sorry that it had to come to this.

just remember that you will be happier having gone no contact. it will be hard, the desire to go against that is engrained in you. and im so sorry that i let it be engrained in you. it wasn't fair of them. it wasn't fair of your mother.

just remember that she does not believe in the words "im sorry", and does not believe in actions speaking louder than those two words.

just remember that she has no power over you anymore. you are free. you are physically, mentally, and emotionally away from her.

you will do better. i promise, i won't let you down anymore.

Dear you,

We both dislike those sappy "feel better!" Letters everyone writes. Or maybe we're both curious. Either way, you're reading what I'm writing and I have some things to say. They're good, don't worry, but it just might ne a lot to hear them. Come back later, or never if you need to. There's always an open door waiting for you to step through it if you need it.
So, you aren't doing well. Lost your job, not sure of who you are, you just feel like trash, maybe you even lost someone. I'm usually a very soft and patient person, but sometimes you have to hear it straight up. It will take a while for things to get better. It feels like nothing will get better? Well, it won't, for a while. Over time, though, things will start to change. People will start taking you and your talents more seriously. You'll become comfortable and accepting of the body you have, even if it isn't the body you want. You still have to take care of it, by the by. You'll start to feel better, maybe like a weight lifed off your shoudlers. The thing you lost, or person, or pet, will start to hurt less. You will still think about them, and you'll hate thinking about them sometimes, but you'll have to to get better.

All in all, keep going. Survive the days until you realise that you've actually started living them. Dont push or rush it. Take your time.

Most importantly, remember I'm in your corner. Always. No matter what you did, no matter how bad it seems, no matter how scared or angry you are, I'm in your corner. I'll be rooting for you all the way.
