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

[Loxo]

Dear M,

My friend still hasn’t figured out who you are. I’m afraid that if I let your name slip, she’ll judge you before she even knows you.
Sorry to bother you!

[watermelon.]

dear self,
you’re an idiot you’re going to fail
all of your classes and probably not
get into college. good job not having
any interest in anything whatsoever!!
good job on burning out and letting
your gpa drop!! good job on doing so
bad at every test you take!! getting an
F after you studied takes a different
kind of talent !! teachers once loved
you and now they hate you for no
reason, how did you do it!!?? amazing
just so incredible wow you’re super
great at being talentless.

dear ___,
you’re really mean and i do not like
you one single bit!! hope you aren’t
doing good bc you don’t deserve it.

dear ___,
notice me and then marry me thanks

dear ___,
you’re also mean and insensitive so
maybe don’t be???! a crazy concept
isn’t it? sometimes you need to just
shut up thanks

edit almost 2 years later:

dear past self,
you did it! you got into college, and turns out, you're not talentless. not to mention, not every teacher hated you! you ended up having some awesome teachers and likely to your surprise, your slightly-lower-than-perfect gpa did't hurt you at all. you now have found interests and will be graduating earlier than expected. you are thriving now, and everything you're thinking right now is... false. i promise. you didn't burn out, you were taking hard classes. bad grades in hard classes are normal lol ! anyway things are good now, though a few bad things have happened, i can't lie.
p.s. everyone else you wrote to in here is not in your life anymore haha

To H.,
Again.... Your audacity.

To youngest,
You are hanging out with the wrong crowd. You come home late. You neglect your studies. You have failing grades. You have been growing increasingly rude to others.
I know this is partly because of eldest and me. I am sorry—I know we have hurt you many times. Our relationship is more broken than I would like to admit.
I am afraid. You become more like eldest by the day—you are more violent and aggressive. I know that the people you surround yourself with have something to do with it. You try hard to follow the trends and use makeup, even though you are so young...
I know your kind and hardworking self is still somewhere there. It shows every now and then. Please, come back.
xxxxx- your older sibling

To them,
Your timing is impeccable. Why do you always have to come in during the moments when I am not working and taking a short break? Then, you yell at me... I feel ashamed and embarrassed about it afterwards.
xxxxx- Lee

dear R,

Why do you let others put you through such awful things? You wear a fake smile and let people walk all over you and you don't say anything about it. i know you don't want to be violent or hurt someone's feelings, but you need to defend yourself. I wish you'd let me show you affection and help you through your problems. But you don't you just chuckle and tell me that it's okay that you'll get through it,that you don't want any affection. I don't understand why you think no one will love you because in all honesty you're the most amazing person i've met in a long time. I love you. I don't care if everyone else in the world thinks you're a terrible person, because i think you're great.I will always think that you're amazing. If only you could see the intelligent person you've become, and how amazing you are in general. please take care of yourself.
-someone that cares for you dearly

Dear me
It’s too late. You messed up. Sorry bud. I hope the best still.
Forever the hopeless fool. Kinda the last thing going for ya. Keep that up tho. It’s something.
Ahh well, keep trying.

Dear A.
Man do i wish I could get to know you better

[tinymantas]

Dear M,

I feel like this should be discussed way back in the beginning but I've held it in for so long as if it never happened or mattered that you were hurting my feelings. I try hiding it by saying it doesnt matter or that I dont care, but I do. Why all the sudden hate for a music I enjoy listening to? Do you see me making fun of you for listening to songs in different languages? Why is accepting my love for Korean Music have to do anything. You automatically dislike/hate it simply cause I had my intense obsession phase with it and cause I listen to it. It shouldn't be any different if you listen to songs in Spanish, French, etc. And I'm not forcing you into trying to enjoy or get into it. I simply wanted you to listen to it and see if you liked it, if not thats fine but I'm not okay when you keep mocking, making fun of me for liking music I may not understand. I've always been so insecure of my taste of music since I found out about K-pop, and you're just adding onto it.

My sweet J..
I miss you so much even though I still get to see you
I want to see you. I want you to be proud of me. I want you to love me. I want to make things that you like, even though I know you don't like Cal...
I wish I could see you after these 6 weeks are up

[pjnk]

dear a,
yes. the rumours are true. i like you a lot but i can't help it, what am i meant to do? i know you'll never like me back. but please give me a chance. i want you to like me the way i like you, i wish you could fall for my smile the way i fell for yours. love is so stupid. i'm hoping ur worth it.

a

[caesou]

dear c,
okay. okay. i'm just... i need to get this off my chest, forgive me (or not, i don't really mind).

i don't know what you've been through lately, perhaps more than me, but i don't know if you want to get better or not, if you want to heal or not. you've probably hit more breaking points than i have, and you've already experienced what i've experienced more than twice, and you're still in the same position you were in the last time i saw you.

i can't force you to do anything, i wouldn't dare. but just know that hey, i'm really worried. you haven't changed or gotten better the last time i met you and i don't want you to keep going down further than i did. it won't help, unless you don't want to help yourself. and if that's the case, there's only so much i can do.

please hear me out.
