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

[AdriftSkipper]

Can we talk?

I feel like we wouldn't be enemies if we could just communicate. We were friends for a year and a half-- all stopped for what?
The emotional tie we had is broken, Y. There's no denying that.
But does that mean we need to be enemies?

I feel like we can be peaceful again if we can both see that. I cant see any reason for us to remain as enemies except for the fact that we are already enemies-- which confuses me. Why can't we solve this conflict?

I honestly wish we could be on the same team again, Y. You've always known that I prefer to be diplomatic. Can you say the same about yourself?

dear c,

it's been a while sent i've written you a letter. i told myself to stop-- it's futile, especially addressed to you-- but i've just been so burdened by our recent interaction and i cannot get it off my mind, try as i might. so here we are. another letter.
i've been almost repudiating the thought of the "future" ever since november, apprehensive over how i'm supposed to deal with the dates of our golden days repeating, only a year apart, and our lives now so vastly different. and now, as of recently, that "future" has arrived, and i'm stuck, wallowing. last year at this time i was at a place where things were starting to look up, and little did i know that i was about to enter the best era of my entire life, because i met you. and now, i'm repeating these days, but without you in them. i hope you think of me from time to time, though, and as much as i wish you the best, i hope you grow to regret your decision in letting me slip away.
sometimes i let my mind drift too far with regards to my expectations of you, and i think, maybe you do regret it and maybe you still care about me and miss me and want to see me and want to apologize. maybe you still love me, like you told me you always would. but you're you, c. not some ethereal deity capable of drastic change and surprise. and when i saw you there a few days ago unexpectedly, my mind just... backflipped. i was just thinking about you, as i was sitting there alone in that chair, and all of a sudden you were right before me, a corporeal entity, in the flesh! i hadn't seen you in person for four months and ten days. but here you were, and you showed up with all of your friends, friends whom i still know the names of like the back of my hand, friends whom i've hung out with, and talked to, and laughed with, and created memories with. yet not a single one acknowledged me. and i get it, it's awkward. but you... i expected more from you, at the very least. you hugged me, the most awkward hug we've ever had, and you said all but five words to me. then you walked away, and that was that. no words spoken for the rest of the night. not even a second glance. i've never been ignored so blatantly in my life. it would be one thing if we weren't on good speaking terms, but we are! we text all the time! and the fact that i thought just for a second that if i ever were to see you in person again, whether intentionally or arbitrarily, you would be sincere and remorseful, and that that wasn't completely preposterous, was way off base. because again, you're you. and every second that i interact with you is another second where all faith in the love we ever had fades away. because throughout the night, as i sat in that chair in the dark, i couldn't focus on anything else but you, sitting two rows in front of me. it occurred to me that you don't care about me anymore. because not once did you look back. and me? it occurred to me that i am someone who is still so in love with you. and i don't know what to do anymore, c. i don't know how to fix this broken heart of mine that's still helplessly clinging on.

Dear S,
I'm really sick and tired of being treated like absolute garbage. Even though I don't see you very often, my friends tell me that you still haven't changed. Did I block you? Yes. Yes, I did, and I don't regret it. We're no longer friends, and, as I see it, we'll never be friends again. I don't hate you, but I just can't handle you bullying me all the time. Even through my depressive stages, you encouraged me to hurt myself, and said it was fun. Looking back, I now realize how terrible of a person and influence you are. Never speak to me again, or I will retaliate.

dear E,
I’ve still got feelings for you. I even think I love you to some extent.

If this were one of my movies I’d tell you that, we’d kiss, and you’d confess you had feeelings for me all along. But this isn’t, and I won’t.
You’ve got a boyfriend after all.

Sincerely,
The one who’s heart you broke last year.... and continue to break to this day.

dear mh,
oh dear, I'm writing you another letter. yeah yeah, I know I promised last letter to you that I was going to come out and be honest and admit my feelings to you in person. well, my excuse for not doing so yet is... the situation to do so hasn't arisen yet! I was planning to do it next time we hung out, and well we haven't really hung out since then. you helping me pack up clearly doesn't count since l was around.

sigh... I know they really shouldn't, but my feelings for you have only grown since my last letter. now that I know your other friend isn't interested in you, nor are you interested in her it's got me getting up my hopes again. I really don't know if you're doing it on purpose either, but some of our text conversations the past couple of days have only caused to fall for you even more. hard. what's up with you giving me all the cute nicknames as of late? the hearts you've sent me? why the sudden interest in everything I have to say?? you confuse me so much, honestly. there have been times I've been positive you must like me in that way, and right now you've got me thinking that way again, despite your earlier claims.

I know, I know, it'd help me out so much if I just confessed to you. I just don't wanna do it over text though, that just doesn't seem right at all. I'm dying to see you again soon, it's been a long week and a half here. ...I don't know if I'll make my confession then either though... since we'll be in class together all next month I don't want to do anything that might make things awkward for either of us. I know I know, I really, really, reallllyyyy should tell you before the end of next month though. I'm terrified for that time to come honestly. I might not see you for a whole three months, and I'm worried what will happen in that time. you know of my horrible fear of losing the people I'm close to. time and distance tends to draw people apart.

gosh, I'm such a hopeless romantic fool. I wish I knew whether you feel remotely the same way I do. I do know I need to stop obsessing over you so much though, or else I'm likely only gonna get myself hurt a lot harder than need be. you confuse, frustrate and even anger me at times. but god, do I ever love you. I would do anything to make you happy or keep you safe, because you mean the world to me. my strong feelings for you may pass, but you will forever remain one of the most important people in my life. no matter what happens, I want you to remember that.

dear dad,

i miss you a lot. obviously.

i wish i could turn to your guidance for career paths. do you think i could handle doing public health? it's what i'm interested in, but i just worry about hard science classes. i think i can minor in it without them. i know you would have advice.

i feel the absence of you in the funniest ways. you'd always send me far too many emojis and gifs if i got a good grade on an exam. the pause i still take when i now text mom, instead of our group message.

i think about the argument we'd often have - i'd bring up an issue i had with your behavior, and you'd say "oh, so i'm the bad guy now. i'm just the absolute worst, i agree." it always infuriated me! did you genuinely believe that, or were you just trying to deflect? i'm still not sure. but in a way, i did want that. if you were truly a bad person, then i thought it'd be black and white. if you were awful, then i wouldn't have to be conflicted. i could hate you and i'd be justified, as opposed to the reality of you being a complicated person.

we're all complicated people. sometimes i feel like you never got that about me. but that's a biased memory. i worry that i'll start to lose every real memory of you - i go back and replay it, changing the memory and its accuracy. and now i can't get any new ones.

things may seem grim from this letter - it's just because i'm venting all the bad stuff! i think that things are actually pretty good for me right now. my relationship with my girlfriend is still going great - i wish you could have met them. grades are good, and i end most days satisfied.

you're gone, but your impact isnt. your fingerprints are all over my life. it's nice.

i love you so much.

from,

B.G.
