Dear Colt McCoy,

My heart broke for you last night, dude. Last game of your college career- the national championship- and you got hurt within the first few minutes. That was horrible. I'm so sorry. I hope that your arm feels better soon and you will go on to play football somewhere else or do whatever it is you decide to do. Your response to that reporter last night was very classy. I don't know much about you, but you seem like a really great guy. I'll be praying for you.

Love,
Random football watcher

Dear Me -
You have a choice to make. Move up and fight at 205 or starve yourself into weighing in at 185...neither is a healthy choice, but you've committed. Make your stand. And you're only 80 days away from getting out of Iraq...keep that nose clean. You can do this.

Nothin' but love,
Me.

Ok you fat cow... I've had enough of your bullying, you are the most unprofessional Manager I've ever met and I don't know who you had to blow to get that position...

You may have lots of people fooled, but I can see right thru you. Maybe that's why you are determined to bad-mouth me, because you see me as a threat to your pathetic existance.

I've given you every professional courtesy, and you continue to be the same caniving bitch I met when I started here.

I'm done with you. F off. Shoo.

Dear you,

It's snowing outside. You probably haven't realized it yet because more than likely, you won't wake up for another 45 minutes. Everyone's gone to school and mom's gone to run errands. It's just me here. It's too quiet. I don't like being left here alone, especially not while PMS has my hormones going haywire. It's like watching a scary movie: I have to keep reminding myself it's not real, it's not real, it's not real. My crazy-hormone-induced feelings that something is very, very wrong are not real, or at least not real enough to give them much thought.

I had a very weird dream about you last night. It'll be funnier once the weird feeling I woke up with due to the dream dissapates. In my dream, you, for whatever reason, fell in love with my aunt- you know, the one married to Larry. Because of that, you gave her a beautiful (and large) diamond engagement ring (even though we both knew she was already married to Larry). Yet, despite your admitted secret love for her, you still kept telling me you cared about me. You were somewhat incredulous to learn that I didn't believe you. It would appear that even in my dreams, I dislike being a consolation prize. You were a bit smug in my dream, a bit cocky. I was very angry with you, and very angry when I initially woke up. Then, I remembered it was just a dream, but it left me with a weird feeling that I can't quite put my finger on.

We've been on a really good "roll" lately. You seem to want to talk to me and see me a bit more often than usual. Our conversations go on and on until the early hours of the morning when one of us realizes that we should probably get some sleep. The cute and sarcastic text messages and text conversations just keep coming. I love it, but I feel like I'm holding my breath and wondering if it's going to end soon and we're going to go back to normal life- not that normal life is bad. I just feel a lot more wanted right now than I have been in a while.

We're gettting close to 18 months. In the great scheme of things, I guess that's not very long, but it still feels pretty long to me. I catch myself wondering when we're going to reach that inevitable point of our relationship where the butterflies go away and I no longer feel the need to make myself look nice when I know I'm going to see you. Am I going to turn out like your mom, quiet and hiding away somewhere, always working on different crafts? Are you going to turn out like your dad, kind of silly and sports obsessed, spending more time hanging out with our son (or daughter I guess) than me? Sometimes I feel like I want to drag my heels to try to slow down the collapse. i'm going away to London for four months a year from now. I'd like to wave it off with a 'oh, we'll be fine', but what if you find someone else? What if I do? What if we just can't make it talking via video chats and email and AIM alone?

I know it's a long way off but I keep thinking that I can't take this as seriously as I would like until we make it through that.

Oh well. You're awake now.

Love,
Me

hello my friend, we meet again. it's been a while, where should we begin?

Dear you ;;

You're not here yet, but you will be in around 8 months or so.

We're all pretty excited!

I have this feeling you're a boy, though either way, I'll be happy.

Your name has been decided:

Caiden Atticus if you're a boy, Caydian Michelle if you're a girl.

James Owen Michael was a consideration, naming you after your maternal great-grandpa and grandpa, and then your father's uncle, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted you to have a unique name.

...

Hey now! At least I didn't decide to name you Bob. =]

Okay, that was mean. You have a great-uncle named Bob, and he's pretty awesome. Pretty much one of my second dads.

Aww, you'll get to meet him when you get here. You've got a lot of amazing people to meet, and a few incredibly amazing people to hear about.

I'll fill you in as soon as you get here.

Promise.

Love,
Mommy

Dear you,

I don't want to seem like a homewrecker, but I really do like your boyrfriend. He's funny and sweet and always wants to know what I have to say. He's a real catch and I hate to admit that for a split second, I wanted you two to break up so I could go out with him. Am i honest about it? Yes. Am I doing the right thing? No. Please keep your hold on your boyfriend, because I honestly think I would pick him up in a heartbeat - no remorse. This probably makes me the worst person, but he's so great. I'm trying to keep my emotions under wraps, but I see him everyday and it's hard. Forgive me? :|

Dear you,

Please stop being such a great guy.

Dear bestfriend,
I know who you're with right now. And I know by the time you go home tonight you'll be dating her. And I don't know if I'm going to be able to deal with that. Honestly I don't know. I'm going to try, of course, because you're my best friend and I really mean that. But I haven't dealt with this since, oh, late October, but it feels like yesterday when I have to go back to fighting back the hurt that's rising from my stomach.
I said then I'd bide my time and wait for you to upgrade. Well, you did, and now even the upgrade is over so what do I have to wait for? I shouldn't be waiting. I have the rest of my life to live with someone else. But I just keep reliving what we had and it hurts me so much but I can't let go.
I've got no right to be hurt. I know. We're best friends and I'm pretty sure I love you as a friend, but to be honest I don't know that you understand the friendship kind of love we supposedly have the way Matt or Luke does, or the way Sid and I used to lie and say we did. Because I was the Mary-Sue who walked into your life (secretly in pursuit of Lexingtonboy, but possessed with a knack for settling) and promptly fulfilled all your schoolboy fantasies because that was all I knew how to do, all I knew how to be. And once you notice my eyes aren't purple and ... well, the Mary-Sues usually walk right back out. I don't want to do that.
But how can I stay when you don't trust us? I know you're scared of what will happen and so you're probably going to make up some excuse for not coming over tomorrow. You're this girl's first real relationship and I can't even say I pity da foo' because deep down I want you back. But you don't want to hurt her. Yet you say she won't screw up on account of you being her first, so you'll have to or it will last forever... well, that's the thing about firsts, is they just lose the novelty and you start wanting something that has a meaning besides the attachment that comes with being first. Which is exactly why you're with her and I'm with him. You don't have to screw up with a first. You just have to stay around long enough for it to get old.
And the truth is that I don't trust us together either. I say I do, of course I say I do, because otherwise we would never see each other and I would lose another basketball-playing, straight-nosed, conservative best-friend-against-all-odds to an unnecessary distance. And I talk myself into trusting us so I can look him in the eye and say it's stupid not to like you, but then I cave the minute your finger gets close to my mouth and you start biting your lip and you're so attractive and he is totally right not to want you near me.
I never want him to find out. I never ever ever want to hurt him. I know he regrets his whole relationship with "her," but the fact remains that he lost his virginity to someone I hate... and I'm still going to lose mine to him. He hates her now too. And the only other person I might have given it to (i.e. you) is now dating someone with the same name as "her," who's half-ruined this all for me. I hope you understand that I'm going to harbor a hatred for that name all my life, or at least for a while, and I can't help it, and you're not helping either by perpetuating my stupid, yet seemingly quite valid, belief that people named Kaitlyn only take away my friends and lovers. I will fake it if you want, but even if you let me call her Kait, I can never like this girl.
And I can't tell you any of this, because right now she's the most important thing in your whole universe and you'd side with her over your bestfriend, your parents, your secret Jedi trainer, your whatever. I know that. And you'd take yourself away from me the way I haven't had the heart to do, because you let go of things much more easily than I do and you have your priorities straight.
Probably I should just talk this over with him and let you think it's all sorted out. Changing what I call you two has gotten me all mixed up and made me forget I've always gone to him when I needed this kind of help (or any kind of help). Well, always except when he was with "her." And since I know he's the one I want to end up with, he should be willing to help me get past this – well, past you. After all, that's how we started dating, was a heart-to-heart about how you weren't worth it.
I need to take a shower. This was never going to come to suitable closure anyway.

love,
your bestfriend

Dear you,
Here's why I got upset today... but wasn't able to say why...
1. I'm meant to be seeing Tony, but there I was, getting with you.
2. I promised myself I wouldn't do anything today, it was meant to be just a catch up.
3. I promised myself I would NEVER let myself feel anything for you again, but I did.
4. I felt guilty.
5. You cuddled me just like you used to, you kissed me just like you used to, you noticed in my eyes that something was up, just like you used to.
6. You broke my heart, and now I feel it's going to break again.
7. You noticed I'd changed my perfume since last time.
8. I am unable to believe that you'd "missed this".
9. You're past; I promised I wouldn't delve into the past again, that it was all about the future.
10. I wanted you, and I know I shouldn't have.

I want to believe that you hurt me too much for me to ever get back together with you, but my stupid heart wont let me. It jumped so high when I saw you :( I hate that about me. I want my control back. Ever since you broke my heart, my heart has been ice cold, but when you kissed me, it instantly melted. I WANTED it to be ice cold!!! It stops me from feeling, James!

I just don't know how I feel. I've always been like this, you should know that.
There isn't any reason for me to break if off with Tony, but there are so many reasons I shouldn't start something with you. Yet I can't, just can't, seem to get you out of my head. It should be Tony there, not you. Okay, so Tony won't committ, but I was happy with that until you stepped back into the picture! I want to blame you, but I can't. It's all my fault. I wish I never existed.


Broken,
Emma.

Dear Friend of 20 Years,

You're the older one, and when we were kids, you played the bigger brother role. I love you like a brother, our mothers traded recipes as we exchanged sega genesis games. As we grew up, we lost contact but we found each other in a record store and didn't miss a beat. You had your then girlfriend, i had mine. Slowly but surely, you'd always find ways to misinterpret my friendship towards your significant other for something more. Finally, the last drop was spilled and the truth started pouring out.

I think you're girlfriend is one of the coolest girls around. She is creative, smart, educated, artistic, and best of all... she smokes pot. All i said was that i wish i had someone like that. 4 out of 5 isn't bad. Then i suggested we all get together and maybe we can someday share all the same traits with our girlfriends. But your insecurities and jealousy, like always got the best of you. Now you've expressed your feelings and threatened to slap me if this "flirting" continued. I remained shocked and speechless.

I'm sick of losing close friends over women. Most of my male friendships have ended due to jealousy or insecurities. But i've tried hard to keep this friendship alive and well. I just don't think i care to continue any further. I'm insulted and offended. I plan on dismissing myself face to face tomorrow with a firm hug and handshake. Congrats on your lovely relationship, may you guys work out your differences. Hopefully that one surpasses two decades. Don't worry, all of your "Secrets" still remain safe with me.

Sincerely,

Jake

Dear Family,

I understand that you're trying to help me through this thing with Nik, that you all hate to see me heartbroken and torn up every time we separate because we live so far away.  What you don't realize is that I can handle it, and it's a choice I've made.  I appreciate your words of comfort, every single one of them, but there's one thing that really keeps bothering me, and I kind of wish you'd all never said anything about it.  And I do mean "you all."  Every single one of you has said to me, "Hey, if it hurts this much, why not just move to Tennessee and be with him?"

You want to know why?  Because it just isn't that easy.  There are things about me that you just don't know, things that you're going to soon learn, and you'll all be disappointed in me, but it's my life.  I make my own choices. 

Why don't I just go?  One, I'm fucking terrified of being away from you guys.  What you don't understand is that you're my family, my rock, my foundation, my home, my heart.  All through my teen years I didn't have a stable place to be, and now that I've got you, I don't know if I can ever leave.  I know you're not going to go anywhere, that you wouldn't abandon me, that I'm crazy to think like this.  But I can't leave you.  You are my support.  AND, every time I do leave and come back, you all say how much you missed me.  I mean, I was only gone a week for both times, and you ALL missed me?  How will you deal with it if I move?

Two, I have never had a real job.  ...Ever.  I wouldn't even know where to start to look for one.  I'm pretty sure no one would hire me.  I haven't got any skills, you know.  And Heather thinks I could just up and start selling paintings and artwork, but I think she's never heard of the "starving artist."  Plus, it would be in another state.  That alone scares the hell out of me.

Three, I still can't drive.  We still don't have a car that is stable enough to pass the inspection so I can take the test, and the vehicle you promised me is still broken, just as it has been for the past 6+ months.  Even though you have th eparts to fix it.  Even though you complain about driving me around all the time.  Why won't you just fix the damned thing like you said you would, Dad, and then you wouldn't have to get up early to drive me everywhere and then come pick me up.

Four, I don't know if things with Nik are going to work out.  I know I love him, I know it hurts to be away from him, I know we work well together.  But we've only been around each other for a week at a time.  How do you know I won't annoy the everliving shit out of him if I move there?  And I wouldn't be moving in with him, I don't think, since he already has his dorm room (though he sort of hates it).  I'd be on my own.  And that scares me.  If things end between us, well or not, I'd be stuck there.  Stuck in Tennessee all heartbroken and away from you guys.  And what you don't know is that I wouldn't have the...  courage(?) to ask you to take me back.  I couldn't do it.

And five, the biggest part of this?  I haven't really been taking college classes for the past semester.   In fact, I was on academic probation, and then I failed and got my scholarships taken away until I can prove that I'm a good little student who will do her work.  I'm lying to your faces when I say, "Oh, I have class on so and so date from so and so time."  And you never think to call BS on me.  It tears me up inside that none of you says shit about it, that you never ask about how my "classes" went anymore.  That I have you all fooled into thinking this is my "last semester" and I'm about to graduate is the biggest heartbreak of all.  I don't know how to tell you.  I sort of just want to quit, but I'm sure you'd never allow that.

...Or am I giving you less credit than you deserve, again?  I know I can't ask you for financial help, though you haven't said anything, mom, I know we're just barely getting by.  I know you're counting the time until Heather leaves for college, and I know you're silently hoping that I'll up and move too.  I caught that little hint a couple of months ago, you know.  The one about how you and Dad hoped to go on a "real date" in a year and a half or so when all the kids were gone?  Yeah, I got what you were saying.  I know I have to leave.  I just am terrified of doing so.

All in all, family, I just have one thing to say.

PLEASE STOP SUGGESTING THAT I MOVE TO TENNESSEE, OR I JUST MIGHT.

Much Love (Sometimes),

Elysse

Dear rude customer, 

Your pizza was not burnt; that "brown stuff" on top of the pepperoni was your extra cheese, which cooked faster than the rest of the cheese due to the grease from the pepperoni. You didn't need to bite Jen's head off or cause any fuss. You say you "can't feed burnt pizza to a seven-year-old"? It was nine forty-five at night. Instead of worrying over supposedly burnt food, why don't you feed your kid earlier, and perhaps include some vegetables and fruit in his diet? So don't even start trying to act like the Father of the Year, jackass.

Dear friends with babies,

I was just looking through some people's facebook pictures, and apparently a couple of their friends came to visit them at college. I thought to myself, hey, that'd be pretty cool. I should get *insert names here* to come see me... oh wait. I forgot about the child situation. Don't get me wrong. I love your children-- they are as cute as can be, and I understand that there's a load of responsibility that comes with them. I'm glad you guys are good moms. But y'all... we are NINETEEN. You guys are two of my closest friends. Just to be selfish for a minute, it really bites that most of the time, we can hardly do anything. You guys will never see my dorm room at college. You will probably never even see my campus forreal. You won't be able to come to StepSing. We can't even have an old-fashioned SLEEPOVER anymore. We (and by we I mean mainly you two because L and I have nothing to add on this subject) spend most of our time together talking about the best way to treat diaper rash and what your babies' poo looks like. I love you both dearly, but dear Lord if I'm being honest, it is so damn TAXING to spend time with you guys sometimes. I want us all to get together, and at the same time I almost don't because most of the time I feel like I'm being forced to listen to a two-person dialogue about Pampers vs. Huggies. I could try to change the subject, but it inevitably winds right back up where it started: trading advice about babies.

There's no easy way to tell you this. Scratch that-- not only is there no easy way to tell you this, but there is no NICE way either. So I guess I just won't. Thank God for communities that provide a place to vent anonymously.

I love you guys, but you are just stressing me out right now.

Dear A,

I can't help missing what we had. So easy, so comfortable... almost effortless. We just were. I miss that, and I miss you. I'm hoping to bring a little bit of that back Monday. Dallas green.. 7 days.. and there's noone else I'd rather experience this with. You really did (do) mean so much to me. Regardless of what happens, you gave me the best summer of my life, and I'll always be thankful for that.

With Love,

Dear GC,

You are hell. I have a hard time willing myself to get up every morning in order to drag myself to you. I hate this job now that she's gone.

Dear body,

I'm hating on you right now. This is no way to start out the new year; running to the bathroom every hour and getting sick? Okay, you need to stop. You're getting dehydrated all because it's hard to stomach WATER. Water, seriously, I need it. Just accept it and stop feeling nauseated after drinking it. This is NOT fair, I have missed two days of school already and I don't want to start the new year off like this. Please, just fucking stop already before I have to go to the hospital to get an IV. Thanks.

No lovin',
