[Dear You. . .]

[RICHARD]

Dear you.....

Or HEY YOU!

Thanks for being a pal for soooooo many years.

YOu have always been there to hold this wussy's hand when he needed it. You have been a shoulder to cry on, a kick in the arse when I needed it, a back to help me lift the world when I had to carry it on my back.

You have been a critical eye, a listening ear and a sharp tongue when I deserved it. You have been a lap to rest my head against, arms to give me a hug when I wanted one, and a spine when I need it.

You have been my bits - biologically speaking, impossible-but you know what I mean! You have been my heart, another brain and my guts when I thought I had none.

You have been a fresh breath of air, another outlook and that step into the unknown. You have been a smile, a kind word and patient with my quirks.

You have been my friend. I couldn't ask for anything else from you except more time, but you have given me all that I could ask for and more than I deserve.

Friends do come and go and I am happy that you are like gum on my favorite shoes.

Thanks bunches,
Me

Dear *,
You talk to me for hours every night. Wish you were closer. Wondering where this will take us but for now, just enjoying the moments. Be gentle with my heart.

Dear Possible Place of Employment,

You interview me 2 weeks ago and then decide out of the three interviewed that you'd only hire the other two. My schedule may not have been a good fit for what you were looking for but I was still honestly devastated. I decided that I no longer wanted to work with you anyway, especially since I'd have to work during the week and use my boyfriend's car because we all know how reliable mine is.

Then I get a call yesterday asking if I was still interested for a job. I really can't pass up any opportunity at this point, my applications are all over town but it seems as if nobody wants to hire a college student in this little college town. I said yes and called back today, you want me to come in tomorrow with my school and holiday schedule. Great. Does this mean that you're going to hire me? It better.

I was soooo looking forward to going home this weekend. I haven't seen my family or the dogs for over a month. I've been looking forward to this more than anything for the past two weeks when I realized Rich wouldn't be here this weekend. Now I have to meet you at 3:30 tomorrow...when I could be at my house already. If I sit around ALL day, and don't end up getting the job I am going to be royally pissed off.

So please, please hire me. I'll work hard and make you proud, I promise! Just please don't get my hopes up again and smash them like last time. I don't think I could handle it again. If I didn't need a job so badly I would have told you I had a weekend obligation and wouldn't be able to meet up with you until Monday. But, alas, I'm running on empty and NEED this, more than anything. Oh my mommy would be SO proud! :P

Sincerely yours,
*fingers crossed*
Future Employee

Dear Wisconsin,

Oh how I hate thee.

No love,

Dear Girls,
I miss you. I feel guilty and I can't think about you or talk about you in public for fear of crying. I can't believe I'm only 18 and I've already surrendered 3 animals to a shelter in my name. Failing a class? So what. I feel like I failed you girlies. Especially my little Badger. And Whitefoot? She bred you and you gave her countless litters, and now you're stuck in a shelter.
Love from your former owner

Dear Dan,
I can't do this with you anymore. I can't. You've hurt me more than I will let you know, and I never intended it for it to be this way. I LOVE you, Dan. You make me feel human again. But I feel like I've been used. We both wanted it, but I wanted more. Now you barely talk to me, and when you do, you are very short with me. I miss who we used to be, and the time we shared together. But if you don't want me, there isn't anything I can do about it. I love you, Dan. Remember that. Meg ALWAYS cares about you.
Love, Meg

Justin,
I'm sorry. You moved here because of me, but... it's just not there anymore. I still love you, but I can't be in a relationship with you. There's no spark there anymore... and I am SO sorry. Don't hate me. Be happy here, blossom, and become the new person you wanted me to be. Find someone who can complete your world. I need to fix myself before I can be with anyone else.
Love, Meg

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Dear You,

We talked today, finally... you said you didn't want to hurt me, you couldn't destroy me... you want me, but you can't do that to me.
I don't know what to say. I want YOU. I want YOU to be happy, and if that doesn't include me, I'm going to have to deal with it. That's all I've ever wanted for you, is to find happiness.
I still love you, even if you won't let me.

Love,
Meg

Dear Me,

Get on track with your resolutions, will ya?
No soda today, you've done good on that. But the pizza you ate wasn't the best choice.
Go start laundry. And while that's going, pop some Tylenol for your headache and get your pilates DVD in!

Tough love,
Meg

Dear Tudou.com,
F!@K YOU! I WANT TO WATCH ANGEL RIGHT NOW! I mean, I don't care about the Chinese subtitles, but you can't refuse to load some of the best episodes. I can NOT miss this one, there's too much going on and it's the second to last of the season! ARGHHHH
No love at all,
me

Dear World,

I have just made one girl's world better by letting her know that I'm not mad at her...
I'm learning to stand up on my own and not let Kate judge who I am friends with. Just because Kate is mad at her, doesn't mean I am.
Right now, she just needs a hug and someone to talk to. I'm glad I could be that person. It'll be okay, Sarah. I promise.

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Dear You,

Dan: I loves mah meg...

Thank you. That was all I needed to hear.
I love you too, even though I won't say it.
Our "I love you"'s mean two different things, I'm afraid.

I still love you and your stupid cruise ship...

Dear New Year's Resolutions,

You seemed like such a good idea before the first of the year. But I'm having trouble keeping up with you.

[Riptide]

Dear Anger,
Why are you so difficult to get rid of? I can't calm you, I can't push you away anymore, yet I can't express you. You dig yourself deeper into my heart every day and I don't know what to do.

Dear source of said anger,
I can't think about you without completely shutting down. I can't talk to you without being nearly brought to tears. I can't reason with you without just giving in - and that's NOT an option. This whole situation has hurt me beyond all words and reason, and I cannot stand you because you weren't there to hear me out, to actually listen to me and actually, honest-to-God hear what I had to say. Now? I don't even want you to be there. I just don't care anymore. And you hate me for that, too. You force me to say "I love you" just for your own peace of mind but that's not the truth. You know it, and you refuse to admit it to yourself. Just leave me alone, step out of my life. Everything about you stresses me out and then you get mad at me for that, too. I am tired of your inconsistancy and narrowmindedness. Maybe if you would open your eyes and your heart you would realize that, yeah, maybe I'm right and maybe God DOES want this thing to happen. He shows me signs and opportunities every day and it hurts more than I can describe to turn those opportunities down.

You don't understand, you never will. So stop pretending to care and then pitying yourself when you tell your friends, "My daughter just doesn't like me." It's too late now. I am done.
