Dear Mom and Dad,

WHY WHY WHY CAN'T I BUY MYSELF A KEYBOARD?! WITH MY OWN MONEY?!! IT'S MY MONEY DAMNIT! Don't you see that I really, really want a proper, modern keyboard, fitted with an actual audio jack and an lcd screen? All I have is this child-piano, which I admit is pretty good considering I got it when I was seven or eight, something like that. And the next best thing I have is the Synthesia app on this laptop. And you can't really get the feel of playing on a keyboard on that, can you?

I've given up on the hopes that you'll pay 10%, 5% even, and I'll pay it all by myself. If the price is still higher than my current budget, I'll save up and buy it later! But I AM NOT WAITING ANOTHER THREE YEARS and when we return back home I am greeted with a crappy, old keyboard that doesn't have an lcd screen whatsoever.

Come on, at school there's ancient, ugly looking Yamaha keyboards, but they have an LCD screen. What I want is the better of the school keyboards, Yamaha PSR e-213. I mean, if the school can afford that many, then surely I can afford it? Like I said, I'll save up. But no, I do not want a crappy one.

Why? Because a newer one will last longer! And Mom, you said I could take piano lessons next school year! And now a few days ago you said you wouldn't let me buy my own keyboard? ARGH.

sincerely, me.

dear k,
my life was hell before you came into it.
you mean the absolute world to me, I hope
you know that. i don't know what i'd do if
you left. i need you. it started out as an 'i
want.' then an 'i like,' and then an 'i love'
for you. but now it's a need. i need you.
desperately. i need you to always be a part
of my life. & i know you promised that you'd
always love me - but promises can easily
be broken. i'm a mess to handle, and i know
that, but you calm me down. you're always
there for me, and i don't want that to ever
stop. so please just stay with me. don't
leave like all the others did. no matter
how rough things get, or how annoyingly
clingy i can be, i just need you. all of you.
~ me.

Dear _,

I'm kinda mad that you'd just shrug it off like that, it made me feel like crap but what's the point of even telling you? You know know what you're doing, and you don't even care. It's like wow, whatever happened to friendship? I guess whatever I say doesn't even match anyone else because you just don't care. I feel so left out, like a outcast. I thought that was done but wow was I ever wrong. I can't even muster up the words to explain how I feel, I don't even care if you think I'm being over-dramatic. I don't even know why I waste my time writing this because you'll never really read it and know how I feel. Thanks. Thanks for replacing me so easily, for not even caring how I felt. Such a friend.

sincerely, me.

______, You're honestly one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and I'm so happy you trust me. ^-^

______, Seriously. Just ask her out already. If you're not together and making it work by senior year, I'll explode.

___, I know it is for the best. I heard it all. But part of me is still hoping that if we meet each other at another date, it could be okay again.

Lastly, ____.
Don't get off track. I know you are capable of every goal you've set so far ^^.

Dear PS,
Don't be stupid. Please, I beg you. Everyone has to deal with things sometimes, and those things aren't all pleasant. Things will change.

Dear family,
I know you guys have been fighting with my sister. Don't act like I don't know. I can hear you screaming from where I am.
Trying to be nice to be won't work. You guys can't be nice to anyone. Including me.
We we're suppost to be a normal family. But I guess that can't happen. You guys are too idiotic and psycho to be normal.

Dear E,
Shut up. Go away. I'm not lying to D, and you know it. Stop trying to make me mad. You know what happens when I get mad. I have a mental breakdown afterwards. I hate you, so much.. So.. Freaking much. Just, stop! Okay?! I don't care anymore! Go be an ass to someone else! I don't need you in my life anymore! You've been annoying me for about 5 years now. Leave me alone. If you know what's best you'll stay away from me. Unless you want to end up like you where in my dream. You where sobbing because I punched you in the nose. Blood was all over your face. It made me happy. It made me really, really happy. So leave me alone.

A,
That was the third big fight I have ever had with you. You were upset because of the way I said something in Spanish in response to F. I tried to explain it, to make you understand. But in response to me pouring my soul out, you simply said "Well that makes me feel a little better C. That you cried after it happened. People are horrible. Crying yourself to sleep for months hurts. I'll be back dinner." My response was "Thanks so my crying meant something. It doesn't deserve my tears. But I still hurt. Bye A." How insensitive can you be?! You said that your message was so short and clipped because your parents were yelling at you to come to dinner, but still could have been worded better.
When you came back you wouldn't stop apologizing and saying how that what was said shouldn't have been said. I didn't forgive you for hours. I was crying and you made me call me. We talked a little and said "I'm sorry" and "I love you" over and over again. I think you were crying too. You were talking about how it sucks when I am mad at you, because you have nobody else in this world to talk to, who understands you. And when I am mad at you, you are completely and utterly alone.
After dinner and writing an essay I felt a little bit better, we called and talked again and things were better than earlier. Still lots of apologizing on your part. But overall it was better, more like normal. At around 11 I had to say goodnight about 20 times because you wouldn't shut up and kept getting sidetracked every time you said goodnight. I found that amusing and what you said was sweet.
Despite everything I still love you,

Dear, S.

I hate to bother you right now because its finals week at your school right now and I know how much it can make or break your grade right now so I'm just going to rant here. Today was one of those bad days for me. So you know how my mom's bf LOVES to compliment me face to face, but then talks a lot of trash about me in private? Well he talks a lot of trash about me to his daughter and my mom. I don't know what hurt more. That my mom didn't defend me or the thing that he was talking about. He does this all the time though, he loves to compliment me to my face, but contradict his statements later. I should be used to by now, but today it just really struck a chord. This is my last week of high school and I'm going to head off to college. I already know what I want to do, I want to become a nurse and he knows that. What he said to me was, "You're going to be a great nurse! I believe in you, you're so smart I don't understand why you won't become a doctor instead. You got into college, I'm so proud of you. You're definitely going to succeed in whatever you do." Then behind my back he said, "I don't think she can be a nurse at all. Why does she want to be a nurse? Why does she want to go into the medical field at all? (etcetc and other things not chickensmoothie appropriate)"

I work hard in school. I didn't take fun electives like photography, painting, or ceramics. I took a full set of classes where you have to work hard everyday, the classes I took were science related electives such as Sports Medicine, Anatomy and Physiology. I maintained straight A's throughout high school, took multiple AP classes, passed all of my AP exams thus far, and received numerous awards. Excuse me, but I think that I CAN become a great nurse and I can succeed in college. I never do anything remotely bad, I don't even sneak out of my house at night.

Honestly, I don't know what's worse...the fact that he thinks I'm going to fail or that my mom didn't defend me...

S. I really want some comfort from you as soon as you finish your finals ):.

Dear Family,
I cannot believe that your priorities are so disfigured. I understand that we aren't all that close, but she's your niece/granddaughter for goodness sake! She's been waiting a long time for this, and the fact that you guys show so little support is . . . well, frankly, it's disgusting and infuriating. My brother would give his left foot to be able to go to this. Just . . . you people make me angry. So freaking angry. I can't even . . .
Well. I'm glad to know that she means so much to you. I hope that whatever you're doing that's 'so much more important' is worth missing something as important as this.
I may not ever forgive you.
