Write a Letter You Cannot Send (Read the Rules!)

[bantry bay]

Dear school,
You could've TOLD me that the program I applied for means I have to do stuff on weekends.

Dear teeth,
I hate you. I really Don't want braces, and your not exactly helping.

Dear D,
You make the funniest Steven Universe jokes at lunch <3

Dear S, S, K, K, D, and R,
Thank you for putting up with all my stuff. I feel like I can trust all 6 of you almost as much as my parents.

Dear Coco
Why do you always sit by the door and growl whenever I come near you...?

Dear R,
Thanks for covering me when I'm not paying attention.

Dear B
Please let's not start kindergarten all over again.

Dear M,
Please take your moldy pudding that you haven't touched for a month out of the fridge. It's starting to smell and I really Don't want to do it for you.

Dear me,
Stop reading during class or you're never going to get anything done.

dear my doctors and psychologists,

no, I am not weak
no, I do not like the titles you have given me
no, I do not want to talk about a traumatic experience just yet
you are not helping me
you are making me worse
you probably don't care, anyway, you just want your money
please listen to me when I say something
it . does . not . work .

Why did Harvey Lee Oswald have to kill you? Why do you have to be dead? The only one I love...dead....that day back on November 22, 1963, was the worst day ever.... I don't know if there was a time I was more sad then that day.... My life changed when you died..... Now O have no one to love.... Come back....
From,
Your Lover

Dear J,
Thanks for saying hi to me today. Sorry I didn't respond I was zoned out. I'm shocked you recognized me though.

Dear T,
I miss you. I miss you more then you could imagine. I miss laughing with you. I miss seeing you make sure I was ok. I wish I could talk to you. I wish I could say goodbye. I hate my ego. But I wish you were here. Or I could text you. But all of those chances died when you walked out the door. I hope you're ok. I hope you're happier. Maybe you have friends now. I do. Maybe our paths will cross again one day. I doubt it but they may. And this time I will talk to you. I won't be pushed away by everyone and my fears. But those are just hopes and dreams that will probably never come true. I'm sorry my friend. I'm sorry I was a jerk.
Sincerely,
The person who you used to smile at

dear no one in particular,

sometimes I think he's manipulating me??? But I don't really know what being manipulated feels/looks like. I don't know if he does it purposefully or he really doesn't know what he's doing. Actually...I pride myself on being very detached from situations and smart but I have a feeling I get manipulated fairly easily. Once the emotion of guilt is thrown into play, all bets are off. I'm fair game for anyone. I get pressured into things a lot and that hurts because it makes me feel spineless. At times I'm great at not budging an inch on things I'm passionate about but other times I find myself caving because they know just what to say to me. *sighs unhappily* I feel weak. It's only some people that do this to me...is that what being manipulated feels like?

jerk,

I understand what is happening here. I remind you of Jazz don't I? I'm the same age as her, we're similar and you feel like you can talk to me just like her. I swear sometimes I speak to you only because you are more messed up than I am. You want someone to love you and you think it could be me. You're afraid, Jazz showed you what it was like to care more about the physical-she showed you how to love. Now you are dealing with new emotions and you want to be loved. I reciprocated your flirting because I believed it was innocent teasing because that's what you do. It's your defense mechanism; your default setting. I know you hide behind a facade of jerk and flirt. You paint on a serious mask and let people believe they're getting close to you because you flirt with them. I'm not stupid, I know that doesn't mean we're close. I get little flashes however, that you trust me more than you do with usual people. Sometimes I go round and round trying to figure out what you mean; are we really just joking, do you mean some of this? It drives me insane.

I can't reciprocate those feelings if you do feel that way about me. It's hard for me to feel those specific feelings anymore. I'm not your savior. I'm highly skeptical you have legitimate feelings for me considering you are far older than me and I'm not exactly 'your type'. I think you are latching on to the closest thing you can find and you just need someone to love you. I'm sorry but I'm just not that. You WILL find someone one day, you just need to fall-not force yourself to fall.

All that aside, I'm always here. You know you never have to worry about me and I will always do exactly what you want me to do. The way this works is: you talk, I listen. I trust your judgement because I trust you don't let emotion cloud your decisions. It IS in your job description.

Thanks jerk, I wouldn't be the cadet I am now without your help

dear lizz,

i should have listened to you more. i shouldn't have moved. i should have stayed by your side so i could hear what you had to say. but, that was out of my power, wasn't it? or was it? no matter if it was or not, i will still feel that it's my fault that your gone. if only i could have called or texted you a bit earlier, i wouldn't have made you feel unwanted. i wouldn't have lost my best friend. i know you'll never read this, nor will you probably want to read this, but just know that i loved every moment with you when i was still by your side. i'll never forget you, no matter what you think of me or where i am.

your lost friend,
nat
