if you're still upset, move on. really, it's alright.
the job will never get better. try something new.

do something new with a new friend

tell him you appreciate him
pick up the pen again.
write to maddie like you were supposed to
write to her brother
write about everything you think and feel

Dear, _______

I'm better off without your lack of respect and criticism. I can't deal with it anymore.

With love, Olivia

Dear Ex,
I'm trying not to think about you, but it's kinda hard not to do that when I still have left over resentment that I need to deal with. It hasn't even been a month since you dumped me, it's only natural that you cross my mind. I wonder how you're doing, but I'm too anxious and uncomfortable to ever talk to again. You probably didn't mean to hurt me and you made me realize how destructive my self hatred was getting (or inspired me to be half as devoted to myself as I used to be you), but I can't help but feel as though we can't be friends again or have a normal conversation again.
Part of me is still bitter over the fact that you lead me on in a way and made me believe I meant more to you than I actually did, making me believe I was going to be your last love (no matter how foolish it sounds considering that we started dating a week after we first met- never doing that again). Part of me is still mad I didn't catch all the red flags and was so desperately attached to you for about a whole month. Part of me is mad I wasn't the one to dump you. Part of me is over you and thinks you're kinda stupid. I wonder sometimes at which point of our relationship you realized that you didn't feel attracted to me anymore- what things you really meant and which ones you didn't. I feel like I have come to terms with the fact you're in my past now, but the lack of closure gets to me. Hopefully, this letter will solve that issue.
Goodbye.
Cali

dear m,
gods... I miss you so much. Funny how two weeks caused me
to be so enamoured with you. You're funny, and a good musician,
you keep the conversation up so well... It's been almost six
weeks since I saw you last. Six weeks which lead me to just
missing you more and more. If only you were nearer to where
I live! You're half a country away, and in the states, that a super
long way... Hopefully you'll be visiting up here soon. Because I
miss you. A lot. More than you could imagine.
regards,
-me

Dear ____,
I'm just so, so, so sorry.

The words play on a track
in my head
like a record.
Day in
and out.
I'm
so
sorry.

But nothing
I've ever said
has ever
mattered
anyways.

- A
Dear ____,
I said goodbye
to the wrong thing.

That was one of my last thoughts that day.

What did I say goodbye to?
You.
Memories.
Her.
Peace.

Except
what I lost instead:
Dignity.
Pride.
Confidence.
Everything.


I
have lost
everything.

- A

Dear Z,
I think I'm in love with you. I don't know if you're interested so I'm worried...
I don't know if you're oblivious, trying to brush it off, or if i'm just not as obvious as I think...
But i want to tell you I love you, but not in the friend way I have said it before.
We live in different countries, and we have only met online... but I'm weak, okay?

Dear brain,

Why'd you do that? Things were going alright for a little bit, you could've let me enjoy it, dude. Also, I KNOW. You know I know. Stop thinking about that so much. No one cares as much as you do, it's frustrating.

Behave already.

Sincerely, tired of your nonsense
