Write a Letter You Cannot Send

Dear Self,

Don't let others get to you. Just because you don't have straight hair like everyone else doesn't mean you're ugly or a bad person. It simply means you don't have straight hair. Lots of other people have hair like you, and they flaunt it proudly. Stop being so insecure and don't be afraid to be you, because when you're out of high school none of these petty "hair battles" will matter.

Sincerely,
Me


Dear Me (again),

Enough slacking; start working and get things done. You know how your parents are about grades, and you're going to hate them even more if they find out about your two F's and a C. Get things taken care of tomorrow and fix things before your parents discover them.

Regards,
Me


Dear person,

We used to be so close. Surprisingly enough, we were closer than ever when you were dating my friend. But then you guys broke up, and of course I wanted to be yours but I knew it wasn't fair to her. We talked a couple times throughout this year, and eventually in late August/early September, you wanted to take things a step further, but not in an innocent way (to be discreet.) Unfortunately, I almost played right into your trap. Thank God I was raised with the common sense not to. Thank God for my morale.
Despite what happened, I still have feelings for you somewhere deep down, and I hate it. Why is it you, of all people, that I can't let go of? I just wish things could be different, though your morals are rather... different compared to mine.
Oh well. It all happened for a reason, and I'm glad that we no longer associate, for reputations spring up rather quickly in high school.
I hope all's well in your life, regardless of where we stand now. Have fun in college next year.

Sincerely,
Me

Dear guy who I thought was my friend,

I message you on Facebook just saying hi and then you like blow up at me saying I should die since I'm annoying. Do you know how much shhht I've been through at the moment? No I don't think ya do. So why don't you just leave me alone and let me live MY life. I was in a good mood but you just drew the line buddy!


Sorry to people reading, kinda mad right now...

Dear O----,
Homecoming for your school is coming. I know your friend is going with a girl from my school. You live 5 minutes away, why don't you come and ask me to go with you? So many guys from your all-boys school ask girls from my all-girls school. It doesn't have to mean anything if you don't want it to- although I wish it would. I just feel warm and happy for once when I look at you.
Sincerely,

Dear Self,
Please stop being so shy around people you like. I am outgoing and funny around everyone else, but that one guy. Why can't I man up the courage? Why can't you just be cool and calm like you are around others? Why can't you get your silly little mind off of that one guy that you've liked for years now? It's hopeless, just give up. If he hasn't asked now, he won't. Give up, give up, it'll make the time pass by faster. Just stop making me hope. I know deep down it's pointless.

And why do you secretly have to be so...fragile?
Why can't you let go of something easily? Why can't you just be your normal self?
Why do I have to cry at the harsh reality I call my life? Why do I wish I could just do the things I love most for the rest of my life? Why can't you just let go? Why does thinking of those happy moments you've had somewhere else give you that horrid feeling of crying? Why do you have to be so stupid? I need something to change everything- for the better.

Sincerely,

Dear Best friend of the past

I know what you wrote, and I know everything you said. Why you always told lies I'll never know. I put my complete trust in you, You were my only true friend..Or so I thought. I called you my twin..my sister- all for nothing. You still deny this everytime I ask, and I should still be mad at you. But- I can't..Even though we never speak..and you keep asking if Im mad. I'm not- I'm disappointed that a girl as loving as you did this to me. So if you ever read this Mia, I guess I forgive you...But do you apologize?

- Signed your ex best friend...

Dear mother of whom I love..

Remember when you almost died? How hard it was for me to go through? How many days of school I missed? I missed a month of school for you- and everyday I cried. And when you got out- you promised..No more smoking. I believed you! I was so happy..then I found another carton, and another. You denied that it was yours- you kept saying 'I didn't buy that' . You must be a worse lier than you thought. I have to say, that truly I've lost all trust in you- my heart aches for you. Im so scared that you'll die so quickly..You're only 36 mamma! Everytime I catch you, I yell at you to stop..But then you yell at me to shut up or be quiet. I want to just yell at you 'FINE! It's not me who's dying slowly! It's you! You dont want me to care?! Then fine!' I just want the courage to yell at you that You mean everything to me..But why cant I?

Dear aunt of whom I've lost all love in..

Im sorry April, I've lost all trust, love and sorrow for you. You used to love me, call me your little monster. Of course..and I loved you back. Then you had 6 children..and only kept 2. 2 that even you cant support! Im scared to get anything cool from my parents because of you! You come into our house and you steal my stuff! Heck, you stole from your own son! And you stole from me! You took my 75 dollars! You stole my makeup! And- I don;t know why...But I always forgave you. Everytime I want to scream at you- tell you how much of a liar, how much of a broken down idiot you are! I want to scream at you, that you're going to ----. I want to yell at you that I hate you for stealing my stuff. But I keep it contained..It's no use. You have no ears to listen, and no eyes to see..

Signed your unloving niece..

Dear family..

I know I'm not the best, and I know I'm not the cleanest, most girly girl you want me to be. I'm sorry for that! I'm sorry Im such a disappointment when I dont brush my hair correctly, or dress how you want me to. I'm going to be a teenager and I show you hairstyles and highlight colors I love, and you tell me their ugly- and that I should get bob hairstyles and curles. I hate bobs, and I hate curls. You buy me pink sometimes, and I say I love it. I hate pink- Do you know me? You buy me frilly dresses for special occasions..I hate dresses. I don't get when you tell me to be myself, and when I do- you yell at me to change! This makes no sense..You want me to be so picture perfect..Im not. Sorry...

- Signed your family member..

Dear Christian...

You're a very cute 8th grader, and when you asked me out I was so flustered I said no! And I tried to take it back, then I didn't and you got girlfriend after girlfriend. Heck- this is your 5th girlfriend...this week. I want to just take my answer back, but then again I dont. So I have to say, you're cute, and I kinda have a big crush on you. But I've moved on like you and I now have a crush on Cole.

Signed Tiny

Dear Baconeer,
We must go forth, into this world of non-bacon-ness. We must keep our allegiance to the Bacons flag-we must raise up the crispy goodness and defeat all foes!
BUt wait, an ally! THE NUTELLA HAS SWORN IT'S PERMANENT ALLEGIANCE!

What a perfect team this shall be. Now we just need to tempt the orange juice to agree...

Love, Baconeer #2

Dear Dad,
Will this ever get better! Will I ever be the main thing in your life, will you ever stand up for me. I have told you so many freaking times about the things she says to me and you just say let it go. How can I, how can I let something like that go. Next thing you know she is going to be getting seriously abusive, so what are you just gonna stand there and say I love you honey?! I am almost afraid, you know what, I am. One second she buys me a candy bar and the next it is "You are the rudest person I have ever met!" Really, is that really how you see it. But this fight isn't with her, as it is with you. How can you just stand there and watch her threaten me?! How can you hear her say that, and smile at her?! How can you stand to watch someone my age brought to tears by what she says and just squeeze my hand?! You know what, comforting me is not going to help this at all, you realize that. Grow up!!! You dont have to back her up on this stuff. But yet you do. I am not doing anything wrong, just because I am not her blood child does not give her the right to say things like that!!! I am scarred. I have spent half my childhood with that crazy 'person'. When you are not around I hide! I shake before I come home because my body physically does not want to go. My mind gives me goosebumps because it wants this to 'stay out'. I pretend to happy at school but I am dying inside. This cannot be fixed, how many times will you try before you lose us all, because you are losing me! I am going to go live with my REAL mother soon, and frankly there is nothing you can do or say to stop it. So it is time to choose, I dont know why you would choose her, but you are losing one of us, or all of us. So who is it gonna be? Because I am going soon. So I guess this is goodbye...

-"Shiver"



I'll never forget, nor forgive.
I'll never live, nor die.
I'll never eat, nor starve.
I'll never feel, nor lose.
I'll never trust, nor ignore.
But most of all I never stop crying for who I am dying for.

So I wrote you a song yesterday, that you will never hear.
I played you a piece, that you will never understand.
I drew you picture, you will never find.
I cryed tears, you will never see.

That is some heavy stuff, I have heard of tough love but...
Just chin up, learnt to fight for yourself- it is the hardest thing you'll ever do, and it may seem like he doesn't care, but sometimes they think it is just kiddy fights, others think it is good for you to get used to it. But some, very rarely, just don't understand.
Stiff upper lip-I know you can do it.

SOme one you don't know.
