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

[~Muffet~]

People -

I know that I may get on your nerves, but that's no reason to insult. Yes, I know I don't have the best attitude, but still. You guys probably aren't the worst people, so you should show everybody just how good you can be; including me. See you soon

Dear L,

You make me feel so much more secure about myself and I think I’m in love with you. I know that’s a heavy start, but it’s true! I think about you every so often and look at your smile. Maybe it’s your beautiful blonde hair, or your fashion choices, but it really all comes down to your personality.
I’ve never met a girl my age as nice as you. And, if you want, you could take me to the mall. I know when I’m feeling down I can think of you. You’re amazing. Keep it up, girl.

spider,
i'm really confused and i don't know what to do. i already committed to not jumping to assumptions. emotionally, and mentally, i can't go through that again. you didn't make me question a thing until the last five hours last night, but in those hours so much seemed to happen. i wish that i knew so i could get rid of the hopeful doubt stirring in my chest tonight. i'm trying not to talk to anyone about it because talking about it might make me feel good in the moment, but it's creating false hope. and seeing their faces light up can't do anything but hurt me worse in the end. you mean so much to me and i had one of my best days with you yesterday. i'm just conflicted with what i should think. were you aware of how unusual it came across when you asked her to move because you wanted me to sit by you? or every time i moved my hand to the bleacher behind me, you did the same, just an inch away? what about when i was trying to get over to you to sit down and you held my hand until i felt safe that i wasn't going to fall? or every time you touched my knee to get my attention then leaned in really close to talk to me, or when you forced yourself under my arm to bomb (but honestly make) that selfie into a group one? or even an hour before all this when you gave me the milkshake, and found the piece of chicken shaped like a heart and said that it was your love for me? our third party member told me that when we were walking ahead of her and she spotted us, she said we looked like a couple on our first date. that literally killed me.

i can't read into all this again but it was all so abrupt. we went the whole afternoon without anything that set me off to think what i want to be true, to you doing all of this out of the blue. i just wish i knew, one way or another, so i could untangle this mess my heart's gotten itself into.

love you, you big ball of sunshine. i want to stay friends forever.

i'm not fat i'm not fat i'm not fat i'm not fat.
i dare you to call me fat in front of everyone, i DARE you.
because i'm not fat. can you call this bony wrists fat?
it's just that my legs are thick. that's all. i'm not fat
i'm not fat i'm not fat i'm not fat i'm not fat i'm not fat.
every time you see me, you always point out how fat my
butt is. how fat may legs are. that i should exercise. yeah,
i know. i am exercising. why is calling someone fat
a conversation starter? i'm too scared to go outside with you.
when i do, i walk behind you. so you don't look at my
behind. STOP CALLING ME FAT. I KNOW IT. DO YOU HAVE THE
MEMORY OF A GOLDFISH? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DON'T
KNOW THAT YOU'VE CALLED ME FAT A MILLION TIMES ALREADY.
IM NOT YOUR DAUGHTER. IM JUST A FAT PERSON TO YOU.

dear me.
i hate you. i hate the way you laugh, and the way you smile. i hate the way you act when something serious happens, i hate when you just make jokes about it and move on like it never happened. i hate how you have to feel like to make an effort, heck, to even make friends you need to give up things you cherish just to seem acceptable. i hate how you hate your body. i hate how you can spread positivity and make others happy but you can't even do that for yourself. i hate how you try to hide yourself away from your family and friends, you think they hate you. but deep down, you know that they do actually love and appreciate you. but you just don't want to come off as selfish. i hate the way you worry about the future, i hate how you dwell on the past. i hate the anxiety. wanting to go back in time to change something so stupid. i hate how you think your imperfections aren't just unique qualities. i hate how you build up walls, and put on this facade, acting like someone you're not. i hate how you're so afraid to be yourself, just to be disliked by the ones around you. i hate how you can go from happy to sad in less than a minute. i hate how you try and accomplish your goals but when some minor inconvenience gets in your way, you give up. i'm tired of acting like this. i hate it. i hate acting like i need to impress everyone. i don't. but do i? it's stupid. it's useless. i won't know these people 5 years from now, will i? no. exactly.

Dear k,,

you were once my world and I was yours. but now it may never be the same. thanks for saving my life when it was worth it and useful to you. sorry for the mess I am. sorry I dont hold any value to you anymore. sorry you can't get over yourself to try and love someone new. sorry I can't get over myself to try and forgive you. sorry I am worthless, I promise I know you already knew it. sorry I wont see you soon. sorry that red stencil outlines cover our sky. sorry I dont know why. sorry I never actually healed. sorry I won't ever tell you the truth. sorry my heart bleeds for you to be ok. sorry I cant make it better. sorry I can't find some way out. sorry we cant save her. we are letting her down. but I'm letting everyone down. so what's one more?
sorry... but not sorry that you wont miss me when I'm gone.

Dear customer from tonight,

You really hurt me and the words you said triggered my PTSD. Never, ever come here again. As I said before, I'm sorry we couldn't get your food out fast to you enough; we were understaffed and besides me there was two other people working tonight.

Sincerely,
The person you yelled at through the drive thru

to someone dear to my heart,

i hate you sometimes. i hate you, but i love you. you drive me insane. i hate it when you leave for so long. i cant stand it. i know its unreasonable to feel this way. and i hate that i do. i know im being too obsessive. too possesive. i dont intend to keep you from spending time with other people. but sometimes i cant control it. sometimes its just too hard to deal with. how i act. what i say. how i feel. it all just slips away. ive told you a million times how it feels. i dont have anyone else to talk to. anything to keep my mind off of the fears i have while youre gone. i hate being left alone. you keep saying you want to compromise to make things easier on me, but you never really do. and i understand that. personally i dont think i deserve to be humoured. but im sick and tired of being lied to so ill shut up for the time being. if you have no intention to actually try, please stop saying you will. it just makes things harder in the end. im sorry.

i love you.

Dear Amazon reviewer,

Maybe I shouldn't be getting so angry over some random review for a children's book series, but the fact that your comment was not only written in the first place but also liked over 40 times just enrages me. Yes, there was a lesbian character in the book. No, that doesn't mean you should hate the entire book because of it, or the author! You act like she's jumping on some bandwagon because being gay is the "hip new thing" but maybe people are just trying to support the LGBT folks who have been dealing with crap from other people just because of their sexuality/gender. Sure, a percentage of the author's fanbase might stop reading the books but maybe that's a good thing. No, it's definitely a good thing.

EDIT: Not to mention, this is one of the only only book series with animal characters being gay. Canonically, at least. I know Warriors has some but the book company they're under won't allow lgbt characters. I can't think of any others. If anyone knows of any others, hmu because I'd love to read them!
