Dear "You"...From "Me"-Letters Unsent

Post Reply New Topic

How can I go from a person you cared about so much, to being a nonentity cast aside? I told you to toss the things because you tossed me aside, so why should stuff get more consideration?

Dear you, who happens to have posted right before me,

LTNS!

Me

I'm still very worried about you. Please send word even if you are still in Manhattan.
Shanah Tovah. I pray that Rosh Hashanah finds you well and resting.

Isabella and her abject despair

If only!

Dear _____,

I'm sorry the reality of how I feel is too much for you. And I'm sorry I can't put on a pristine, polished, tip-top facade for you all the time.

I'm sure you have your reasons. Maybe you don't want me to drag you down with me, which I understand. But frankly, it hurts and disappoints me that, when I stick around to listen to you rant and rave and cry, you can't do the same for me.

My Sweet Valentine from 1982,
I can't begin to write my words or thoughts, but you pulled me from the depths of despair into bliss. You know exactly what I'm singing, and you know why.

You are adorable!

I love the way your face lights up. I love the sound of your voice. I love that look in your eye when you say something funny. I love the tone of your voice when you say something reassuring. I love our serious conversations and I also love our silly ones. I love that you care.

I hope you know that I care about you too.

Well, I have to hand it to her. She's smarter than I thought. She seems to have finally wrapped her head around the situation (mostly) in regards to my motivations and how things happened and hopefully that I'm not as crazy as she previously thought.

Part of the reason I said things I didn't mean in a 'trolling' fashion, to various people, in an effort to wind them up - was to try to make them feel the frustration that I felt of being continually misunderstood.

Imagine if the people you love with all your heart just think you're a liar, unreliable, not telling the truth even when you are. And being dismissed and ignored and the pain that comes with that. Just ugh.

I hope you are happy, anyhow. I genuinely wish you good luck with your new job. It sounds like a stressful job but I'm sure you can handle it. Take care.

I really miss you, but I don't want to bother you.

dear b~,

we don't talk, we don't do anything together, we only have one thing in common - and that one thing i've lost interest in, for what it's worth - neither of us has the confidence to communicate with each other or try to make plans with each other. so why keep coming around me? things aren't getting better and there's no hope that they ever will. i have no courage asking either of you to hang out because of how flaky you are and i have better things i could be doing with my time then wondering why we can't figure our plans out.

believe me, i'd love for us to be the friends we were when we just met, but we've just had too many bad experiences together. you need to address the things that happened to you in your life before me, maybe we should reconnect in 3 years instead, when we actually have something to bring to each other's lives. cause right now, it's just holding on to some sort of ridiculous fantasy that we're all some sort of family or that we'll actually be happy together someday and that sure as f**k isn't going to happen. it's just fantasies and attention, we both deserve better. and for the love of god, stop with the 10 second hugs and the i love yous. if you did, you wouldn't treat me like i'm insignificant, like you have almost the entire time i've known you. you just like the attention

love always, 886

Dear those who use this thread to post vitriol against other members, can you please stop it?

You're not even trying to camouflage it any longer.

EDIT: I've removed cca 5 posts from the last 5 pages which were aimed at forum members. Forum rules apply here too.

Dear Meredith,

I don't know why you insisted on making my life in middle school hell, but I don't forgive you. All I wanted was to go about my day, but you wouldn't leave me alone until you saw me suffer. You and your friends did it to me for so long that I just accepted it as how the world was, I didn't even realize it was bullying anymore. You'd mess with my books in my locker. I saw you doing it, but I didn't say anything. You'd also mess up your own books and tell the teacher I had done it to you. You'd tell me I couldn't drink from the same water fountain as you. You even once told a teacher that I did something really awful to you that I didn't do (I'll never know what exactly), just so they'd take me into their offices and try to "get the truth" out of me (which was confusing as f**k). I had panic attacks on my way to school sometimes. My grades suffered. I almost didn't get into the high school I wanted to go to... but I just barely made it. The best part of going to that high school was that people like you weren't there.

I was neither your first nor your last victim, but I have recovered. I hope you never have children, because no one deserves a childhood with no escape from that. I hope you one day realize all of the guilt that belongs to you, and that the weight of it crushes you.

I never told you that I loved you because I didn't believe you loved me based on your actions - and I didn't want to commit to such a notion openly. Especially with a majestic woman whom would surely - quickly, find another better mate, at that time in my estimates.

I didn't realize that that love would last for years. It was my first time and I wasn't prepared for it whatsoever. Whilst I wasn't a virgin to physical sex, I was a virgin to the concept and experience of love.

You have hurt me more than you could ever know, taking many cherished friends with you, with no defence given to them of my actions through a lack of understanding as to my motivations, but at least you have acknowledged me recently and have shown that you care. Thank you.

When trying to befriend you again and again, I only wanted to express my love. I never wanted to use anything against you.
