Dear You,
Let me in. I won't hurt you like the others have.
We can do this and it can be good.

Love,
Me.

Dear Aunts and Mother,

I am completely sick and tired of this family feud crap! You preach "family first" all my life then proceed to tear each other apart. I feel like my soul is being torn into tiny pieces and I don't feel like you could give a rat's patoodie about it. Your mother was barely in the ground two hours and you started this.
What would Grandpa have to say about this? Do you think he would have let you carry on this way? Do you think that just because he's not with us anymore that he can't see you? That he's not still disappointed in you? What about Grandma? Do you really think she wanted her funeral remembered as the start of Civil War 2?

When the inklings of this massive fight were first showing through I was too busy worrying about my grandmother's health to put a stop to it. When it continued six months later and even the news of your only brother's death couldn't make you put away your pettiness, I kept my mouth shut and cried into my pillows. I kept my mouth shut all the way through as I watched your pettiness grow and my grandmother die. Family first doesn't exist in a family like ours. I've learned that now. We are too busy worrying about how we can get the most out of others for ourselves that we forget that there are actual humans with feelings on the other side of our behavior. That is something I plan to rid myself of. The family traits of bullying, two-facedness, selfishness, and bitterness are not going to be passed on to the future generations if I have any say in it.

To my entire family: I will always stand beside you against outside attacks but I refuse to listen to you tear apart each other anymore.

To my four younger cousins: I'm always there for you no matter what. I would put my life on the line for you, remember that. You will always be "mine" to protect.

To my younger brother: You are all the above plus more. Never hesitate to call on me.

Dear self,

I'm so proud of you for finally getting a car. You've earned it and I know you deserve it greatly. Now, it's time to get a license. Ya, we're a little backwards but since when have you ever done anything like anyone else. You're a true Maverick. Haha. I'm scared. You suck at written tests. Don't fail. DOOOOO EEEEEEET!

LOVE,
self

Dear Brad,

I miss you so much today. But not seeing each other anymore was for the best.. you're not ready for a relationship and I am.
We both suffered a lot from our last relationships. I wish you all the best

Ashley

Dear ex-boyfriend,

You've been trying to get back with me for the past few years. It's not going to happen.
You dumped me and told me that we weren't right for each other.
You're right! I have much higher standards now. You don't even come close to what I accept from men now.
Stop trying to contact me!

Ashley

Dear Jon,

I didn't know relationships would hurt...

I got my nose pierced. You told me you hate it.
I told you I wanted to get another tattoo for my nephew. You told me I shouldn't. You told me I've already got two, and they need to be something meaningful.
I have long, (I think) beautiful hair. You told me to cut it.
You also mentioned how you've lowered your expectations for girlfriends/dating since your last ex. Then you laughed.
You've NEVER called me beautiful, pretty, cute... your ROOMMATE and your EX GIRLFRIEND both have, numerous times.

Please, please don't do this to me. I care about you. I come over almost every night and stay with you every other night, but only when I can pull you away from your video games. You can't be bothered to leave your video games if I want you to come hang out with me though.

Trying,
Meg

ReeNa,

You left this world way too soon. Twenty years old...
I'm numb. You were one of my good friends in highschool... now you're gone.
See you in heaven, kid.
I love you.

Dear You,

You know who you are.
Keep me hanging on. I need you.

RUN.
RUN.
RUN.
if you want a tattoo for your nephew - I can't think of anything that is more meaningful to get one for family.
RUN.
RUN.
RUN.

Dear Dan...

My friend passed away this morning... I told you about it because you just lost a friend a month ago and I needed help dealing with what I'm feeling. I asked Jon to come to the funeral with me, and he hasn't answered me yet.

You?

"Let me know when it is and I'll ask off of work. You're not going alone."

I'm crying.

Dear Brad,

You're really confusing me. I wish I had it in me to drop you completely. Regardless, it was great seeing you on Friday.

Ashley

--------------------

Dear Joel,

I told you I was confused. I told you Brad tore my heart in pieces. It was a low blow kissing me.. you knew I was confused and lost. I know you just want to fix us and go back to way things were.. but I don't have it in me.

Dear PT,

I'm done for a while.

I'm so sick of everything I post in this thread getting criticized. This is pretty much the only thread I post in and I started this thread, and I no longer feel comfortable here.

This thread is intended for ranting. No one is supposed to solve anyone's problems. I've had enough of people imposing their opinions on my situations.

Have fun. Keep the thread alive for me.

Dear brother,
We've always been really close. Now you won't reply to my emails, texts or facebook messages. I wish I knew what I did. I know your wife dislikes me (immensely!) but we had agreed that OUR relationship would withstand.

If only you'd talk to me. I miss you. I miss talking to my three beautiful nieces. Please, come around. With my health and facing this surgery, I need you.

Crystal

Gosh Crystal - it makes me so sad to read this. Life is so short, and we never know when ours or that of our family will come to an end.
I lost contact with both of my brothers for about 20 years. Oh - there were the birthday and Christmas cards, an occasional phone call, and then when the age of home computers came to be, there were emails. But I never saw them. I live in DE and they lived in FL. Both of them were always after me to go down to visit, but there were always the lame excuses on my part - my job, raising my own family, I couldn't afford it, health issues, etc, etc - always something. I finally did get there tho - to the funeral of one of them who passed from complications of a stroke. To this day - I still look back and dislike myself for being so selfish all those years. I wish I could turn back the clock and do things differently. He passed 5 years ago, and I vowed that it wouldn't happen that way with my surviving brother. Since then, I visited with him in FL several times, and then last Fall after he moved to NC. I'm planning another visit soon - hopefully within the next couple of months. Earlier this week he had a medical crisis that could have taken him also, and I was devastated at the thought! He's 74 and I'm 65 (almost ),

, and we are the only ones left of the "old" family. Obviously, neither one of us will be around a long time, so I am taking every opportunity to spend some time with him. We talk by phone or email at least a couple of times a week, and I make the time for visits now! I can't change what happened in the past, but I can make sure history doesn't repeat itself. LES!
I hope your brother comes around soon - I know how distraught that you must be. Maybe you could email him a copy of this post???? Maybe he might realize how precious family is...
You're in my thoughts....
