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

[Lostfairy]

Dear me,
Please try harder at improving yourself.
Your relationship with God.
Your relationship with your family.
Your relationship with your friends.
Your personality.
Your body.
Your everything.
You shove God away a lot. Part of you whispers that you don’t, that you’re doing good without Him, but I KNOW that’s a lie. I need to improve my relationship with God in order to improve my life. Everything will follow in improving.
Watch your words.
Watch your emotions.
Watch your thoughts.
Watch your body.
You aren’t a failure though. Think of those times you do the right thing. Say the right thing. Look after your body. Look after your thoughts. When you do something productive. Something good and right.
But you could be so much better. Please. Take time to improve. Stop shoving important things aside.
...your strong jealousies will go too. I know it makes you sick to think about it but you have to admit: you are jealous sometimes. Everyone can probably tell. Please do something to fix that. Before you wreck something.

Dear D,

How am I going to make it through the Christmas season without you? You’ve always been here for the holidays. I’m going to be lonely and upset.
Why do I have to pretend? Why can’t they just accept the fact that I’ll never be the same without you?
I’ve decided to follow the advice of my best friend: I will be a duck. I won’t let anyone see my true emotions; everything will roll off my back. I’ll build up a shell and keep all my true feelings buried so deep that if I’m upset, others will think that I’m happy, or at least normal.
If someone/something makes me uncomfortable, mad, or feel negative emotions, I will not let them know if they get under my skin. I won’t give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me get offended.
It will be hard, but I believe I can do it.
I’ll love you forever, D.
Merry Christmas.

dear a,
its me! well.. that's really no surprise. i thought i'd write this to get my feelings out about you,
but it seems you already know; i hate you. i can't stand even looking at you! what you are doing
to b with c is absolutely dishonorable and you should feel horrible about it. in my opinion, you deserve
everything you are getting! the sadness, the hate, the broken friendships.. feel ashamed, a.
it's just.. i cant help but to watch you cry without feeling a single thing. i don't feel bad.
if you're willing to put someone else through all of this, you should have to go through the sting too.
no wonder d left! no wonder e or even f or g left.. its because of you and only you. because
you had to just go on a little affair with c. great job. y'know, b saw your messages.
i.. i cant believe i even liked you in the first place. c told everyone and you.. you just laughed.
i cried and you laughed harder. its nice to finally see you as hurt as i was. looks like i get the last laugh.
a, you have destroyed our friend group..our family.

and i just want to tell you that i don't care anymore. cry if you want, things will never be the same.

sincerely,
rukiki

you have been the best friend for me for these 8 years that we have been together.
i'm glad that, o ,is out of the way. but we'll have to meet her next year.

Dear, E.

I have trust issues. Major major trust issues, i do not at all want to come across as rude, but i feel like this is just so out of the ordinary? You're being so nice and kind and understanding and caring, i feel like something is most definently going to happen. Maybe soon maybe in the next 2-3 years, but i feel like it's too good to be true. Way way too good to be true.

Dear A,
im sorry. I guess you can call it a break? i don't know, dont take it personally like i said.

Dear B,

I don’t know how I feel about our friendship. You’re treating me terribly, acting as though I don’t exist and going off with other people when you know you’re the only friend I have. I don’t want us to be friends anymore. But I can’t just say that. After all, you’re all I have, and without you I’d be even more of a miserable waste of space than I am now. You never seem to consider anyone but yourself. I want to forget you, leave you behind, get some new friends; but everyone already has their friends, and nobody has space for one person who sticks out wherever it goes, and if I did leave you, I’d just be sinking to your level. I want to move schools, move houses, move countries even, and it’s partly because of you. I’ve already had one friend who abandoned me then pretended everything was okay while not keeping any form of contact with me. Please, I’m begging you, don’t be the second. My mental health is struggling enough without all this.

Yours sincerely,
Me. The person who feels like a brick wall around you.

Dear Ryda,

Please come back home, I'm so worried about you. You're only a
kitten, you can't go wandering these streets. There are strays,
cruel residents and chilly evenings.

I'm worried sick about you. Please come home baby, I have food,
water and blankets for you.

dear a,

stop being so selfish. if it weren’t you, i would have left a long time ago, and i know that it’s mutual. your ego really riles up my own, and believe me, that’s not a good thing.

you know that i know this, even though you won’t admit to it. you think that all the focus should be on you. you overestimate how much i trust you because in your mind, you should be my go-to when something happens. you won’t accept that things change, and honestly, it’s really ticking me off. i shouldn’t have to justify myself to you. i shouldn’t have to feel bad for telling j instead of you when that event came up. you have no right to know everything that happens in my life, and you have no right to my heart even though i’ve given you various pieces of it in the past. you’ve changed, whether you believe it or not. i’ve changed. j has changed. m has changed. it seems like you’ll acknowledge all of the former except for your own change.

you said to me recently that you’re the only one who can change yourself, and that’s why you haven’t changed, but you’re blind to yourself. you’ve just changed more than you want to acknowledge. don’t put that blame on me.

best regards,

dear me,

i know you want to leave everything and everyone behind. i know you just want to grab mom and dad and just flee. maybe some day you’ll be able to, but until then take care of yourself and your bonds with other people. don’t leave any loose ends, because if you do, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.

stop trying to change your personality. simply make the right choices when it matters, and everything will end up fine. don’t be the reason you lose what it means to be yourself. improve, don’t change. confront, don’t run away. everything will be alright.

stop concerning yourself with so many unnecessary things.

make yourself a cappuccino. make yourself a blanket burrito. watch antman again. love yourself.

lots of love,
-h


dear dad,

it’s not a game, so stop treating it like one. sometimes your behaviour stresses me out so much that i’m in tears. you know that i’m not okay in the first place, so stop making things worse. don’t act like you’re oblivious to it. this has been going on for too long.

Dear D,

I said your name out loud for the first time in ages. I almost broke down and cried, but I did it. Does that mean I’m getting better?
I haven’t read my scriptures in a while, even though I know I should. Tonight, I started the Book of Mormon again. Really, it was P who inspired me. His testimony has grown so much.
Of course, I miss him almost as much as you. The major differences between you now are painstakingly clear to me:
He’s coming home in two years.
You’re never coming home.
He CAN come home.
You will never be able to.
He was loved by everyone in my family.
I don’t think you were loved as much.
I don’t get sad thinking about P.
I can’t think about you without tearing up.
I get pictures and updates from P every week.
I’ll never see another new picture of you.

I don’t know how I’m going to make it through the holidays.
One thing that I know is this: Without the two of you, Christmas will never be the same.

From,
The one who can’t stop loving you.
