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

[Topperno]

Dear past me.

You used to frequent this topic a lot and write a lot of things. Mainly self hate. Mainly that everything was bad. But I wish you would have been able to see this letter back then and I could tell you all of the ways that life got much better for us. Everything you didn't think was possible or didn't understand has come into light. You weren't just lazy or useless, you weren't a bad person for having out of control emotions and not knowing how to cope. Your self worth is more than what you deemed other people believed about you.

A lot has changed since the last time we sat down to write one of these. You got diagnosed with ADHD, your going to get the help you need and understand yourself so much better. You are in a happy relationship with someone who truly tries to understand you and who can offer a lot of support and helped you so much out of your depression and anxiety. You have kept a lot of good friends who were there during your teenage years and are still here today. You've made some new ones and all in all, you've experienced a lot in life that you never thought was possible.

Who knows, maybe future me will update me on how much better everything gets.

I'm sorry I lied about my past.
I'm sorry I lied about my family's history.
I am saying sorry to you, but I should be saying sorry to myself, too.
Now I can't stop thinking.
Why did I do it?
It was wrong. I'm sorry.

Bubby, where are you? I haven't heard from you in so long. I'm worried about you. Please come home. At least send me a message so I know you're alright. I'm scared. I miss you. I can't lose you like this. Don't leave me. Please come home. I need you. I love you.

Dear Blank,

Give me my $1,200 back you lazy swines. I'm not and will not be a piggy bank like you made grandma. That was my leftover FAFSA money that I saved up for college use, not for your use. I honestly don't care if you lose the house, it's not my fault neither of you bothered to make something of yourselves. If you are so bad off with money why do you have Netflix? Why did you recently purchase an Xbox? Why do you buy cigarettes? Why not sell the TV and get rid of cable? All you both do is beg for money and milk the system. Why not get an education and make something of yourselves. If you can do heavy lifting and yardwork then you can get a job.

Sincerely, Me.

(I'm not mad or sad. This is just a letter I literally can't send lol)

i can’t believe you’re gone. i miss you so much. i keep going through your old posts and old messages you sent me and for a second it’s like you’re here again. i would do anything to talk to you one more time. this wound is so fresh, it’s hard to accept this. i held out hope for so long and i genuinely wasn’t expecting this.

Dear ____,

Did... you know that would hurt me?

I was praying this wouldn’t happen. But...

You can like whatever you want and do whatever you want.

But why do I feel so wounded from this? It kept me from sleeping last night. </3

I love you.

Love, ______

dear e
you're going through a lot, you've got a lot on your plate. i get it. i care about you.
but don't you DARE tell me i've not been there for you.
you have NO IDEA how much time i spend thinking about you and going out of my way to make things easier for you.
what was meant to be the best 12 days of my year were ruined for me because i put you first, i've always put you first, don't you dare say that i haven't.
i'd like to ask where you were for me when i was having a rubbish summer.
i guess i've got the one thing that i've wanted for the last two years but then again i guess i'm never satisfied.

i know you're going through a lot but i also know that i deserve more of an explanation.

Dear SHINee,

All of you.

dear a,

you're one of my best friends and i love you a lot. but there are times where i'm practically ready to throw that all out the window because you drive me absolutely insane. and this is one of them. yes, i know i should've just kept my mouth shut because in 17 days i probably won't see you until thanksgiving, but i am sick and tired of you and t never shutting up about how great your school is. and you probably think i feel left out or something, but no, it's because then it's a conversation i have absolutely no way of participating in. so then when i bring up my school, what's new with everything, i truly feel like neither of you care. in any way. because all you do is whine about how it's so sad that i'm moving out a month earlier than you and how that's so! early! yeah well it's a month where i can get a head start on my life instead of sitting at home and whining.

i know very well that you're whining to both t and b right now about what i said, and the fact that you haven't replied tells me exactly what i've already known. you need to grow up, a. you can't say you're an adult yet show up late to everything we do and hardly reply to serious text messages without help from others. i seriously don't know how you're going to make it next year if you're on your own. oh yeah, you'll have t by your side every minute to complain to.

they weren't my smartest words, and i owned up to that, but i was also vocal about my feelings, which, i don't know if you've ever noticed, is something i rarely do. so i would appreciate a reply.

sorry not all of us live a picture perfect life in a cookie cutter neighborhood. i've always felt disconnected from you for this reason. sorry i'm going to a school that i know i'll thrive at rather than settling for the cheapest option.

also, never call me underdeveloped again.

a
