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

[dogbrain]

dear someone
There are so many things that i wish to say to you, but i don't know how to without you thinking i'm weird. Which, you do, but ... You're weird yourself!
I hope you can understand that i am trying my best to get you to see that i'm not crazy!
Love, Wolfie

dear s,

please understand that i do not need your help. i know what i believe in. i don't need to be "saved" and i don't need you shoving your religion down my throat. i have my reasons for feeling how i feel. you have never experienced true suffering. so stop glaring at me across the lunch table when i mention my transgender friend. stop glaring at me when i talk about my idols that just so happen to be atheists. i am not an atheist, and even if i was, you have no right to shove your opinion down my throat. i don't shove my opinions down your throat, do i? i leave you be. if you have a problem with me, stop talking to me. you will not change my opinions. if anything, you're validating the ones you argue so fiercely against. i am slowly losing respect for you. i am not going to respect someone who does not respect me.

and by the way, my idols are my idols for a reason. there's a reason i look up to them more than i look up to you.

dear l,

i still loathe you. i loathe you. that's all i can say. i can't even begin to express how i feel about you. you literally destroyed my entire universe. you disgust me. you listened to rumors about me. rumors so far from the truth that it makes me wonder who my friends are. hah, what friends? they're all leaving me behind anyways. because of you. i loathe you. i have been sitting in a hole full of my own despair because of you. i have never been more sad in my life. it's the kind of sad that feels like it's drowning me. it's all because of you. i thought you were different. i thought you were amazing, talented, kind. you're none of that. you're a manipulative, evil monster who destroys everything it touches. i don't know how you sleep at night. all i can say is that i hope you don't believe in karma, because some day, it's going to catch up to you, and when it hits, it's gonna hit hard. and i will be screaming "i told you so" when it does.

dear f,

you are so cute. i can't even begin to tell you how cute i think you are. i love that little birthmark on your jaw, i love the way your hair covers your temple, i love how baggy your sweatshirts are on you. i love everything about you. i have loved everything about you for a year, and it's only gotten worse. you're beautiful. i just want to cuddle with you and play video games with you. i would love you so much more than the girls you go out with. i wouldn't be a weird obsessive girlfriend. i remember when you dated that one girl last year, yeah that one girl. and she made you hold her hand and you never looked happy. she never left you alone. i wouldn't be like that. i just want these stupid daydreams in my head to be real.

dear j and e,

i love you guys. you're all i have. i feel so lonely. i lost everyone. and you guys talk to me every day. you guys care. that's all i need lately. i need someone who cares. so thank you... for just being there. thank you for listening to me. thank you for not letting the sadness get to be too much. you guys make me smile. you take my mind off things. sometimes it hurts to look back and see what i've lost. but then i look ahead and see you two waiting for me. waiting for me to collapse again so you can pick me up and tell me it's okay. thank you.

Dear mom and dad


I would really appreciate it if you stopped treating me like a kid.
I'm turning a certain age that makes me a young adult woman in two months.

I do not need you guys to drive me places, especially when it's so close to our house.
I can go places on my own, too.
I'm capable on my own, and want my independence.

My 14 year old sister has more freedom than me, so why can't I have some too?


It seems you guys are overprotective of me.
Why?
Because I'm your first born?
Or because you're scared something will happen, like that day I got severely sick and had to be hospitalized for two weeks?

If it's that, that was four years ago.
I'm fine now, and you both need to see that.


It's probably hard to see your first born grow up and become a young woman.
But, you need to let me leave the nest, as I want to spread my wings and fly.
As someday, I want to have a family of my own.
I can't give you a grandchild in the far future if you don't let me spread my wings.
I can't accomplish the things I want to do if you don't let me fly.


I love you both dearly, and would take a bullet for you both.

But I want my independence.
I want to be able to go places without you guys saying someone needs to come with me.
I want freedom.
That's all I ask.

-Your daughter

Dear ____,

I'm sorry these selfish thoughts ever crossed my mind, and I'm sorry to write them, but I had to get them off my chest, and I know you'll never read them anyway.

When you said what you did, my first thought was not worry or sadness, but "Now you know how it feels. Now you know how it feels, to read something and not know what it means, not know if it means the worst. Know you know how it feels to be completely powerless to stop any of the outcomes." I should not have thought it. I know I shouldn't have. But I guess, even if I try to hide it, try to push it down, part of me is still very bitter about what you put me through. Part of me is angry, still angry, especially because you don't even know what you did. And I know that you were going through a rough time, that you probably didn't mean half the things you said or did. But I was going through a rough time, too, and I managed to control myself. So that small part of me says that you have no excuse.

I know these thoughts are bad and selfish. That's why I keep them to myself, where the only person they can hurt is me.

Your friend,
Shadow

dear the love of my life,

I'm sorry I act like this.
I'm sorry that I get very depressed at times.. I'm sorry for being sensitive..
Oh how I wish to help you, but I just can't find the words to do so. I love you, I do very much.
I understand, we are both stressed. A lot is going on, more family moved into your home. I'm losing friendships, confidence, and honestly, my mind.

Please, stay positive.
I love you,
austin.

Dear D,

When I first met you, I thought you were really nice. But as the days go by, you seem to turning into someone else.
You're still nice to me, your kindness just doesn't feel the same. I feel like you stole my friends from me, they only ever hang out with you anymore. I introduced you to E, and that's great you're friends now, but he doesn't text me anymore or really talk to me, he's always with YOU. I feel hurt, I feel replaced, when I'm with you I'm just...there.

Lately, you've left me for others, people more popular, people I feel you care more about. You instantly trust S despite just meeting him, yet you can't trust me even though we've known each other for longer?

[tapestry]

Dear w & j,

To w: I guess I want to say sorry. You were right all along, weren't you? I really am a monster, just like you said all those times. I wish I hadn't ever met you. Perhaps all three of us could have lived happy lives in that future, as opposed to you two thriving while I watch silently. I'm proud of you. My hate for you has died with my love, only indifference towards you remains.

To j: Hey. I know you still ignore me, but that's okay. People leave me all the time, I'm used to it. I like being free of the shackles you held me under. I'm no longer following like a shadow in your footsteps. It's nice to see you so popular now, though I shrink further away from... Well, everyone. You've made a lot of friends and it's nice to see you so happy. Though I still never want to speak to you again, it doesn't mean I'm incapable of feeling happy for you.

coldly, but fondly, yours

Dear maths teacher from last year,

You know I've thought about this a lot. Maths isn't getting us ready for the real world. We HAVE calculators in the real world.

Dear ,

You're not gonna answer me, are you.
I just had to message you...my heart was aching so badly yesterday when I thought of that fight (one of the many) we had in seventh grade, and how wonderfully we made up. We made up so many times in the past, why did I have to screw it up so we can't?
I missed you even more this morning when I saw your Twitter. You're so beautiful now, my dear. My best friend is gorgeous. And I miss you terribly. So terribly that you've begun to weave yourself through my dreams again. Please stop. It's better if I forget about you.

love,
your ex-best friend

Dear L,
I want to say I hate you. I really do. Sadly, you haven't done anything to make me hate you. All my anger directed towards you is pure envy. You're confident, beautiful, nice, and social. All traits I wish I had. My best friend likes you better than me. My boyfriend likes you better than me. All I hear from them is "L is so nice, she is so funny, she is so smart!". I wish I could be like you. You're so happy with your life, while I'm miserable. I feel guilty to be mad at you. You haven't done anything to me. But I feel angry every time I see you. When E leaves me for you, I'll wish you the best. I see the way you guys are so intimate with each other. He thinks of you when he's with me a lot. When he gets gifts for me, he has you in mind. Like the scarf, which had a card that said "L" on it. I just wish I had what you had. I wish I was the protagonist instead of the background character.
Sincerely,
K.
