Post Reply New Topic

i love you. i'm sorry for everything. i know you were beginning to hate me, you said so yourself.

thank you for loving me as a child. that was the last thing i said to you. thank you. thank you for not giving up on me and thank you for holding me at night. thank you for not minding if i bit you. thank you for not ostracizing me or making me feel weird even though i was weird. you were the best parent in the world. i hope you know. i'm so f*****g sorry. i'm trying to be nicer.

i am so sorry for what i've done. even though i know all is well between you and i, it doesn't stop the guilt. it doesn't stop the question: 'why?' the reason i know is because i love you and you love me. weren't we strong? i'm still here. i'm so f*****g proud of you. if you only knew. was it hard for me? yes and no. i'm tougher than you ever thought, ok? did you know i love you so much that i would bear more weight, more pain than i did for you, more often, i would do it a million times. i would do it.
i was not afraid. i love you.
i love you. i know you love me, too. mama loves you.

always your girl

Dear Someone

Get off your high horse before you fall and break your neck. You can act like I'm wrong for telling others what you've done, you can parade around saying you're more trustworthy because of it, but we both know that's not true. Using me for your own selfish desires was wrong and you know it! You can act like the last 10 months and myself meant nothing to you, but they did to me. We have been through so much together and for you to go and do what you did was disgusting, degrading and shattering. I have given you so many second chances, I have stood up for you, I have even brought you back from the brink of death and you think that allows you to walk all over me? Words cannot describe how much it hurt to find out that everything I've had to go through for you in the past couple of months, was all a sham. You are a disgusting, deceitful, attention seeking, tool. Y'know what? Stay on that high horse so I can laugh when you fall off!

Dear ----,

I just wish you could have told me what I did that was so wrong. I would have apologised if I had hurt you so badly. But I can't think of anything I said or did that would have upset you so much. And it isn't just you, there are so many others who have treated me like this.

If only you would tell me, maybe I could move on. I'm having many better days than I was, but I'm pretty much a recluse and scared to let anyone in, in case this happens again. It keeps happening and I don't know how to stop it.

All I did was love you, was that so wrong?

Dear Richie,

I'm sorry I ended our friendship on such a bad note. It hurt seeing you with another girl but I should have handled it maturely, not by flipping out on you or calling out the way you treated me and your ex. I want to apologize to you and still be friends but you'll probably think I'm psychotic or that I'll have another outburst. Nothing could be further from the truth; Phil is far better for me as a partner than you were and if all goes well, I'd like to marry him. In a sick way I want to thank you [yay Blue October reference!] for leaving be because if you hadn't I never would have found Phil. I'm glad you're with someone who makes you as happy as Phil makes me, and I hope one day we can be on okay terms again.

Sincerely,
Hannah

Dear dude,

You are a rapist. I don't expect you to come to terms with this because you are so deluded. I don't know or care if you are mentally ill, it doesn't change what you did. Go ahead and paint me as some kind of evil witch, act like you're some naive fool who got duped by a she-devil, because you're the one who has to live with being you.

Sincerely,
Moi

Dear Incubater,
I don't care if you'd rather I be dead than gay. Seriously, do you think I'm incapable of deciding you can't be important in my life? What choice am I even left with? You can't be important anymore. It may be easier said than done, but it is exactly what I will do.

Ciao

Dear Joel,

When you thanked me, when you kissed my cheek...you didn't mean any of it did you? Did you mean it, or am I just another paying customer?

Dear u,

Wish u could have been just a little more patient and not jumped to judgement.
Sorry u probably feel that way.

Thank you. A touch of warmth is always appreciated during cold, bleak winters.

dear parents, grow up and learn how to stop waging this war between urselves, get a shrink to teach you how, or freaking separate already. You are making all of our lives a living hell w/ ur incessant fighting. Stop trying to drag me into it and make me choose sides!! I hate you both for putting me thru this!!

Or I will hunt you. I will find you... and I will kill you.

Dear Me,

Why are you always so afraid? It forces you to distance yourself from everyone in your life and it keeps you from getting to know and appreciating everyone else you meet. You're afraid to show your heart. It's big, and it wants to give itself away, but it's atrophied and out of practice because you always run away from the emotions it makes you have. You feel sad when something truly touches you because you feel unworthy. You feel unworthy because you don't give enough of yourself to the people in your life. You're afraid of letting them see your soft side because you perceive it as weak, out of character, and too sentimental. 

It's ok to feel that way, but you have to understand that not only is it ok to show people that you care about them, but that it's normal and expected that you do so! Words like, hope, love, good, friend, sorry, and thankful wouldn't be in the English Language if we weren't meant to equate meaning to them. Let them have meaning to you.

The only way that you're ever going to get better at being kind to and accepting of others is if you practice it. Your heart is sick, you need to help it. The way you help it is by letting others see it and show you theirs as well. In 2012, you saw that your mind was sick. You joined the gym to strengthen your body and you used that progress to repair your mind. In 2013, your heart is still sick and it has been so for most of your life. Why not let 2013 be the year in which you fix your sick heart? 

A healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy heart must be the way to be ready to seize happiness when it comes your way. Be ready. Show your whole self, rational and sentimental, to the world. Start small. Start at home, but then build it up to showing it to your grandparents, show it to your little cousin rather than being afraid to play with her. Show it to your classmates and colleagues by being helpful and honest. Whatever you do, be perceptive to others, but don't be selfish. Selfishness, as you know through experience, is the surest way to sicken the heart fastest. 

Your fear is selfish. It is only felt by you, but it deprives everyone of seeing the truest and most complete version of you; a you that smiles, laughs, loves, and wants to be his very best for those around him. You will never receive the truest love and acceptance from others until you give it unto them. 

You know what you have to do, so stop talking about it and actually do it! Yeah, it's going to be scary and awkward, but how else are you supposed to grow? Things aren't always easy. We'd call it "easy" if they were, but instead, we call it "life."

Good luck.

Sincerely,
Me

Dear Joel,

I hope she's the most beautiful woman in the world when you finally meet her, because she's not going to be me. I hope she's everything you ever wanted in a woman, and she makes you feel like the hero you are. Unfortunately I've probably blown my chances with you, and alas I won't be at training tomorrow. I know the next time I finally make it to training you will have found her. And god I hope she makes you the happiest man alive.

Just don't forget about the girl who was there when you won your Club Champion award, okay?

Dear Dad--

Corn is a grain. It is not a vegetable. You cannot count it as a vegetable exchange. It is a starch. I have been telling you this for 10 years now.

When you have stabbing pain under your ribs in your upper back along with having to sleep sitting up and a cough that prohibits conversation, you probably have bronchitis or pneumonia. You do not have a nasty cold and you do not need to sleep today and think about calling the doctor if you're not better tomorrow. You won't be better tomorrow.

When you have terrible pain in your mid- to lower back, you probably have a kidney infection. Again. You need to call the doctor and get antibiotics. You do not need to sleep today and rub it with Doans and maybe take a couple of oxycodone if it's really really really bad. It won't go away.

Being able to go for hours and hours and hours without a sip of liquid isn't a sign of discipline or strength. It's a sign of abuse and arrogant silliness. Same goes for being able to go 12 to 16 hours without taking a leak.

I really admire you, Dad. You have the most awesome work ethic I have ever seen. You are tough and strong and smart. Now if you weren't bent on proving you are the alpha male, you might not be dying of congestive heart failure and kidney disease and COPD and complications of untreated diabetes and everything else you're dying of at 66 years of age. You might be able to take your grandkids to the park and teach them to hit a baseball. You might still be driving a Harley.

Now please stop being a jackass, because I'm not ready to lose another father. And I really don't think your son is going to handle losing you very well, either. Also, I really think it's going to hurt the kids. I'd like them to have some damn grandparents.

Please??

Dear Husband--

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP ACTING MORE AND MORE LIKE YOUR FATHER WITH EVERY YEAR THAT GOES BY!! !! !! !! ! I don't mind if you're grumpy and yelly. But please-- corn is not a vegetable. Riding a lawn tractor is not exercise. I will stop smoking if you will get your knee fixed and start walking somewhere other than to the bathroom, the bed, the couch, the fridge, and the car. I will have sex with you every time you actually exercise. PLEASE. We're watching this happen to Dad. I don't want to watch it happen to you, too.
