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

[ufoparty]

Dear father,

I understand you hate ferrets but I'm sure that if you'd let me get one or two you'd learn to love them. Sure they might steal your socks but that's no big deal, buy new socks. Mom would be fine with them, we might just go get one without you so that when you get home it's a big surprise. If you don't like it, it can stay in my room.. it's already messy after all it wouldn't be much difference.

With annoyed love,

Your daughter (who really wants a ferret)

dear r,
i've finally come to the conclusion that I need to get over you. "us" isn't a thing, and it won't be. you don't want a girlfriend and keep making clearly fake excuses; remember that one? what was it again? oh yeah, "i'm focusing on school". you said that last month. september. on the first day of school. we haven't even gotten major homework yet! maybe just a few short chapters for english, or finishing up a few questions in the math textbook work. or just completing an assignment that isn't due till the next week; you do that outside of school when we still have plenty of time to do it in school. what is it about me you don't want? you just said you loved me and that i was the one. literally, check our conversation. don't think that every time i ask you who you like i don't know, because i do. you always say "guess." and i guess. every single girl but me. then you finally say "you" and i play dumb and ask "me what?" no. you're supposed to recognize i get jealous, angry, upset and possessive over you. r. every time i say your name it feels like i'm cursing it. i say it under my breath, over and over, almost as if i thought if i say it out loud i'd be punished. i love someone new. my love for you is passing, and i want it to fully exit my system. but i know how you'd feel. you'd say you don't like me, yet confess it to me knowing i'll come straight back to you afterwards. not this time. i'm done with your excuses and lies and trashy affection. goodbye r.
- a disappointed "friend"

dear j,
you came out as bi yesterday. now i know you like me. you're my best friend but now i feel vulnerable with you. i'm sorry i feel this, but it's uncomfortable.
- your best friend

dear c,
i love you and i want to tell you but r. it's always r! he's always in the way of everything and makes me question every sickening situation i'm in. he changed me for worse, and caused insecurities even i'm too emotionally scared to admit. you are my best friend and you make me feel like i'm loved. because i am, but sometimes i don't feel that way. you prove to me that people who do me wrong aren't worth the self-confidential risk. you stand up for me, just as i stand up for you. i want to share so bad about this; r and i fought over you. literally. he said things i almost forced him to take back about you, and i'm much too mortified to even speak of it. if you heard one word out of it i know your heart would drop. i love you too much to see you hurt. and i will never do you how r has done. i l o v e y o u. but i can't tell you yet. not until r isn't even the slightest bit important to me. but i can't decide if my love for you is a crush, or if its more of an extreme best friend love. i'll update you on that soon.

dear k,
you're seducing me again. it's working. i don't want to be that girl that you trap again, but you're constant stares are so mesmerizing even when i purposely don't look back. it's like a magnet. if i don't force myself to look away my head with twist until it meets your eyes. you're. so. amazing. but i love two other people, and i'm unsure if i really do. did i ever stop liking you though? or was it constant, but put aside? i know i'll never be good enough for you. you can admit that. but you have to stop intriguing me like this, or else i'll madly be in love with you and won't be able to tell anyone because they'd think i was crazy. please decide whether you're messing with my feelings or actually purposely making me like you for a good reason.

I got hacked twice already! Also YOUR game has been hacked millions of times! You need to up the security system. One last thing, add sugar gliders as animals, not pets!

Dear mum...
I understand now,
I can rationalize the thoughts you only though I couldn't hear you thinking,
They showed so clearly on your face I was just to blind to see them,
But now they've been brought into a light so bright it burns my eyes.

I'm sorry I didn't start listening sooner.

Dear mum...
I can see it all now,
I can see all the pain you kept hidden away in a jar at the back of the pantry,
Like a lost treasure I pulled it out one day not knowing what it was,
Unknowing of what that jar contained I opened it up hoping to find somthing good,
And all that you'd kept hidden away poured out like rain from the sky and I realised,
I had opened a Pandora's box of misery.

I'm sorry I couldn't open my eyes sooner.

Dear mum...
I know now,
I know why you told me you were always to busy to come see me in the hospital,
No mother wants to see their child wrapped in hospital blankets,
Being kept alive by a jumble of cords and wires so thick they obscured the floor,
No mother should have to dread every phone call for fear it's a doctor telling her that her baby passed away.

I'm sorry to couldn't stay healthy.

Dear mum...
I'm so so sorry for being born with this illness.

Just try it. So what if it doesn't work out, so what if it fails and everyone you know will know that you failed? You're not going to get very far if you keep on thinking this, just take your first step, it might work. You might be good enough, you might be able to do it. So what if you can't? Try again. Try harder. Try more. I know you're scared, and you don't want to show it. I know you're afraid of being judged, and afraid of being laughed at for all the wrong reasons. Use that fear, use it to become amazing, use it so you can inspire. There is someone else who has been in this position too. They either went for it or not. They are either happy they tried or regretting not trying. I get you don't know who to tell first, I can feel how you are being torn up trying to decide. You've still got years ahead of you, but your scared that even by then you will still be in this same position. If only you hadn't built such a hard exterior around yourself, then people would be able to see you. See you and your ambitions. See you and your strengths. See your and your weaknesses. You and your fears. You and your need for someone to believe in you and tell you, YOU CAN DO IT.

Please please please believe in yourself, don't give up on this dream. Tear down your wall and let others support you. There is only so far you can walk this path on your own, soon you're going to get too tired and wish you had a friend to walk it with you.

dear bts

dear a,
you are so amazing. we share so much. one of my dreams is to have one of those laughs where it just never stops and your stomach hurts but in the good way. I want it to become and inside joke and I want to tell your dad that he's not wrong. I've liked you for a while and when you told me about your crush on him, I knew that I liked you a lot because I freaking cried. I AM kinda emotional sometimes but no one knows that. Except you, really. I tell you a lot of stuff. Because you're the best. You're mine. And I love you. And I know that's a strong word, love. And I'm not going to use it in conversation ever. Ever. Because it's too early. It kinda feels like it's always gonna be too early. I love a good confession and all of my "love" but we're just kids right now. We have so much time to figure this out (if we want to) ((I prefer not to stay in my own dark)) But I think you matter to me too much. It's kinda scary, but you're always there, keeping me faithful that there's always something good. And there is. I believe that because of you.
That other night when I was freaking out? You calmed me down because you are one of the only ones who can. You assure me when I think I can't and then I do and I don't know why I ever doubted myself. You are so assuring and brave and kind and sweet and I miss you and I want you here with me now. :)

love,
a
