It took 4 years for me to let go, and it took 4 years to think of you again. It took 4 years of you cheating, lying, manipulating, gaslighting, and inevitably hitting me until I could finally let you go.
I always dreamed it would be you and I.
I always dreamed we would be together forever. I dreamed of you.
I wrote about you until I couldn’t anymore, I wrote you subliminal messages that only you would understand. I would’ve done anything for you, and here we are. The love I felt for you was something I will never experience again, and it’s a love I wish I could retract.
I wish I could regain those parts of me, I wish I could put the pieces together.
But sometimes in the back of my head, during a shower, or a drive down the road - I wish I could regain you again.
And I know it’s the abused parts of me talking, I know is the broken parts of me talking. That’s the trouble though. Sometimes in your mind the only person who broke you is the only person who could repair those pieces.

Dear you
its been 4 years since we stopped talking, I miss you terribly. I know you always denied what you felt because "didn't wanted to be seen as some lesbian" to your friends and family. That really broke my heart to the point of insanity, I did things I regret so I guess in a way its better off this way for us, I am sure you're happy out there probably with someone else, or maybe not if you still are not over that fear.
I want to say I'm sorry but at the same time I wished you would have introduced me to your friends and family, I felt like I was some dirty disgusting secret you were trying to keep all these years. I guess that was the power force that drove me insane that gaslighted me in to becoming someone I wasn't, I loved you with all my heart I was willing to leave my current life behind just so me and you could move to California like we always wanted to. Remember that? how you wanted me to move with you to Los Angeles so could both start a new life together. Honestly you were my first and last love, you use to say how I was your safe place and being with me made you happy and loved. You said that I was the only one that understood and made you feel loved, valid, was that ever true?. You said that you loved me and that with me things were different and that you could be yourself around me.. was that all of it was it true? did you ever meant anything you said?
wanna know a secret? I still love you and if you ever came back in to my life I would welcome you with open arms. I would probably take you back in a heart beat, but of course… thats not going to happen I have to live with that. I promised myself I wasn't going to look for you or beg you know who to tell me how you are doing (I haven't btw and I never will)
I love you and because I love you I will respect your wishes, things happen for a reason and maybe we weren't meant to be, maybe I wasn't meant to be that dirty secret you wanted to keep hidden from your family in fear of them rejecting you. I guess in the end I wasn't good enough nor important enough to be worth anything, I guess thats okay.
I hope the best for you, may you live a happy and stable life with someone else, I do hope that you get over that not being wanted to be seen "as some lesbian" so you can embrace who you are and be truly happy with someone you may fall in love with. Don't be afraid to love who you want to love, also dont be afraid of being yourself. People will love you regardless, your friends and family will love you.
Anyways take care and stay safe
I love you always and forever
me

Hey there, Kaylee, Tom, Princess, Salome, Claudia and Sandra!
You were great friends and I remember you fondly. You are the ones who made sure that even though I didn't understand a word of your languages at first, and even though we come from vastly different cultures, I felt happy and welcome. You are the ones that made my experience of living all around the world a good thing, and this shaped me as a person. I want you to know what kind of imact you had on me. I'm thankful I knew people like you.
I did not manage to find you again through the Internet since that became a thing, but just so you know, I still keep happy birthday cards you sent me by post until I changed my address too many times. You will never stop mattering to me.

Hi Mom,
I really really wish I could help you. It's only in the past few years I really understood how my privileges made me blind to your upbringing and how that's made you the way you are. You're an anxious, controlling mess. Dad has cheated on you for a prolonged amount of time, and you forgave it. But you married a western guy while your country was under soviet rule, in the late 80s I'm sure his 6'5" self was considered practically an egalitarian angel compared to ugly, short, arrogant eastern european men. But he's made you a nervous wreck, I only really noticed when I moved out for a year and gained some sense of self. Remember when we found out we were on the same anti anxiety meds because you thought I binned your empty packets? Lol. There's no privacy in that house, and no respect for the fact that other people might be doing their own thing. And that includes you, and you've learned to emulate that behaviour too.
I remember a turning point was when I had a bath nearly every evening then one time I was doing it as usual and dad flipped out saying it's too late to take one. I came to him and asked "what's the latest time I can have a bath then?" and I remember he was taken aback and couldn't answer. Because the whole point was you felt like you were walking on eggshells when you were doing whatever regular thing. It was as easy as that, but because I wasn't raised in the conditions to know that I just lived a worried existence. As you do every day now.
Sorry, I got sidetracked. When I think of you these days I feel so sorry for you. You make the most money, you do most of the housework and you're treated like a dog. Whenever dad tells you to shut up I think I would never ever let someone treat me that way. I think it's fucked up my romantic life because I always think any partner will cheat, but it's also acted as a template for what I definitely dont want in life. I hope when I can afford therapy that'll be fixed. I wish you divorced him then, but I can understand with your values why you didn't.
And back to the beginning, I wish I could help you but I can't. I've tried to get close to only you, but you insist that dad tag along. I tell you outright I don't like dad, you defend him. And the closer I get to you the more you try again to control my life under the premise of "I'm your mother I'm supposed to be nosy/involved lol". When I visit the family home I start to get texts again harassing me about where I am (at nearly 30), and am treated like I'm 14 again, with the attempted restricted autonomy. And I've tried to set up my boundaries, that what I do and where I go is my business and it's up to me if I want to let you know. If you could PLEASE knock before coming in. But you won't hear it. You nod and continue your behaviour and I've been trying to tell you for nearly a decade so I'm sorry and I love you but I have to distance myself from you. I wish you would visit a therapist.
Again I'm so so grateful for everything you've done and I love you.
PS I just realised I do those exact behaviours control wise to my partners. Fuck.

Dear Paw,
Every morning I wake up to the sun shining through the window and onto the photograph of us. It's my favorite photo of all time because sometimes I can still feel your hand squeezing mine like you're pictured doing. Like you did in the hospital, when you were too weak to hug me back.
One of my biggest regrets was not sitting and talking with you much in that final year. I was always so scared that any long talk we had would be the last. For the first six months of last year, I thought you were fine – you told me as such, and then you had a heart attack the day before my birthday. Then you died six months and two days after the heart attack. I wish more than anything that I had asked you to tell me what you wanted to write in that birthday letter to me when I asked how it was coming along and you said, "It's hard to put into words everything I want to say to you." I hate myself for just saying "Okay" – I want so desperately to know what you'd have said. I hate that I lost the moonstone ring you got me for my birthday two weeks before you passed. It was the last thing you ever gave me, and I forgot it on a bodega bathroom sink.
I wish I'd known how close the end was in that final week. I was under the weather and terrified of hugging you but I would have done it anyway instead of standing in your doorway and telling you I love you every night after work. The hugs are what I miss the most – how safe I felt, you kissing the top of my head and telling me you just didn't want to let me go. I miss the driving lessons we had before you were on oxygen – the time you had me drive to the used bookstore thirty minutes away, but the route you chose took an hour. We even wandered through the bookstore for a couple of hours after we got there! I still haven't gone there with anyone else, ever, and I don't think I will. I miss going to breakfast with you, just the two of us. I miss the long rides to and from the bus stop, how willing you were to debate me at 6:15 in the morning. I miss the background checks you ran on anyone I ever went to go see. I miss your recliner in Maw's living room, how I slept in it for two years after moving in. She got rid of it within a week of you passing. She didn't care that Addi and I loved it, that Pumpkin laid in it all the time because she misses you, or that the living room would look empty without it.
Maw kept all your ashes. She lied, telling Addi and I we could each have our own share of them. She wouldn't let me grieve, never asked how Addi or I was doing – it's like she didn't care that we considered you our dad. She stole the rest of the savings you had for me. She even kept Pumpkin when I moved out, got my dad to harass me into leaving her, didn't care that she's my cat that you got me. Even Addi knows you were happier whenever Maw went to go run errands for hours. I'm sorry that she made you miserable – she's doing the same to us now. I wish it had been her. I hate her for having a nurse trim your beard all of two hours before you died. You were so proud of you big mountain man beard and because she never liked it, she had them all but shave it "for Jesus." It's not even like you were going to have a casket at your funeral – you were cremated! You couldn't even fucking die without that cunt criticizing you. I'm sorry you'd married her.
I shouldn't wish you were still here. I can't imagine how awful it'd be if you were to go downhill, have that "rapid decline" now. That hospice room wouldn't have been packed. I wouldn't have seen you after the firemen took you out to the ambulance. I wouldn't have been able to tell you I love you and squeeze your hand, or hear you say "happy birthday" on the right day but the wrong month, "just in case" you weren't here for it. I wouldn't have been able to thank you for having been an amazing dad to me.

You are a bad friend. Right now I hate you so much, I'm bursting into rage fits randomly. I've put up with you for such a long time, because I genuinely thought we were friends, and I can ignore weird thing my friend says, right?
Yet it's one time I directly tell you that you're wrong, not being able to hold my emotions anymore - you stop messaging me altogether. I muted you everywhere, because I still couldn't believe that a friend can say these things and your avatar made me nervous, but didn't unfriend or block you. Now I don't have to see you in my timeline but I'm still able to receive messages from you. In case, you know, you want to actually apologise instead of brushing it off as you did that time, blaming everything else except yourself.
But you just won't apologise. You won't even just write to me as usual. You decided to ignore me back for months now, and that means you understand that you did something wrong just fine. You probably never valued me as a friend, nevermind all these moments when we shared our pain, tears, when I was here for you, supporting you through your shit relationship. You have no money for the week? Here you go, i got you. It's 3 am and your abusive partner fucked off in the night and left you alone crying? I'm on my fucking way sis, be at your place in fives. Talk about how our parents fucked up our lives? Mutual interests? Let's discuss it until the sun rises. I was here almost every day, for three years, and our friendship lasted many years before that.
But how dare I say that what you said to me once was bad and untrue, right?
I peeked to your social media, and, of course, you go on just fine. You're not really busy.
There are people that share your fujoshi interests, and I, yeah, couldn't care less about yaoi or slash. You always told me how much you cared about that one person who is obsessed with fucking firefighter anime as much as you, and I didn't think about that - until I realised, that all that bullshit is much more important for you than actual human interaction. You never cared about me as much as you cared about those people who are "famous anime artists obsessed with fandoms", who may not even be interested in you at all.
I was there. I wanted to be your friend, genuinely. You made me very uncomfortable once, I told you that you're wrong, you whatever'd, never actually apologised and now ignore me. And that's it. friendship of many years just gone.
You don't deserve a friend like me. I now fully understand those who ended friendship with you. I want to come to your place for the last time and tell you all that in your face, but I know that would be in vain, because you would ignore it (as you did with another girl that you ditched - you told me that yourself) and probably blame everything on me, and I would not gain anything from it aside from another rage fit.
The irony of it all is that you were the first to regret that everyone around you are so insensitive, if someone leaves the chat after an argument nobody would go after them and ask what's wrong! Go fuck yourself, stupid cow.

Dear __,
I still don't know how to make sense of what you did to me, or what our friendship meant to you. I've never met anyone like you, and your impact on my life was enormous. People told me I put our relationship on a pedastal, but I was so convinced we understood each other in a way no one else could get. I'd never had someone I felt so emotionally attuned to before you. I was so convinced what we had could overcome anything. Part of me wants to sympathize with you and extend some grace. Part of me understands why you did it. But we're adults now, and I can't keep making excuses for you. Some of the things you did to me were shockingly horrible and I can't believe my boundaries were so eroded and I was so fond of you I just let you get away with it. You violated my privacy and then punished me for what you found, you treated me like a villain for reasonable responses, only to turn around and do something much worse than what I did. I'm frustrated that some part of me still holds a lot of affection for you even though I know you don't deserve it. You weren't a good friend to me for such a long time, but I bent over backwards trying to understand you and forgive you. If you wronged me, I'd see it from your perspective and forgive you. Over and over and over. Why did I let you treat me so badly? I want to forget you were ever part of my life. I just wish I understood what you were thinking, why you did this. How can you live with yourself? I couldn't.

Dear A,
I hate you. I hate knowing that your rich family got you a cosy job and you are set for life. I hate seeing you get good reviews.
I hate that I cannot forget you, I hate that you probably never think of me. I hate that you should be in prison, and yet you're not. I hate that it's too late for me to bring you to justice.
I want everyone to know that you are a misogynist, a rapist, that you smashed my face in to a wall so hard that fluid still drips out of my nose to this day, 7 years later.
I know so much that could destroy your life, and yet I have no proof. You killed my pets. You beat me. You did disgusting shit to me while I was asleep. You named your daughter after a porn star.
I wish I could just move on but I'm angry. You had such a victim complex, but if you went through a fraction of what you inflicted upon me, you would have killed yourself.
But thats not enough for me, I don't want you to just die. I want you to suffer like I did. I want you to get the migraines. I want you to freeze everytime you see my car. I want you to have the nightmares.
Fuck you.

Dear You.
I have nothing to say to the current you. You are not who you were or maybe, you never were the person I loved to be with. Sometimes I wonder if your mental illness got the best of you, letting you brainrot all day on social media and letting you believe a shitton of lies. The pandemic took a toll on you and I know that it came in a weird time, since you were craving attention and people on tiktok gave you exactly that.
From the sweet and funny you I knew for 10 years, with no traces of any disturbance or disorder, in a matter of months, you first believed to have DID, shifting in a lot of different personalities and when I finally got used to it, despite not believing it but going along with it thinking and hoping it was just a bad phase, accepting that I will probably not see my best friend anymore, you bought into the transgender bullshit, officially killing off any traces of the old you. I know that people grow up, I did myself and I know that people change but I just want my friend back. I want to see their smile again.
Your new you deleted all of their past and sometimes I wonder if that old you ever existed and it was all a facade or this is the facade, either way, I will not wait. I will not waste anytime waiting for you to come back and if you don't, allow me to be angry. Allow me to grieve. Allow me to speak as if you died, because that's what happened. There's a hole in my mind now and a zombie walks around with your voice and face. I also hate how you lied to my face saying that you were always like this and I didn't notice because I was a bad friend, in all of these years.
Goodbye, my dear. I hope I can forget about you. I hope I can forget all the lies you've told me.
Me and the others will miss you.

Dear X, I wish things ended differently between us. I hope you can someday come out of the hole you dug for yourself, I hope you realize this is not the answer, I hope you someday will realize you were perfect before destroying yourself. Deep down I know there's still that funny, intelligent, confident, amazing person I met back then. You'll never read this but I have no hard feelings towards you. I did, but after not talking for so long the person I remember is an amazing friend, an amazing person. I miss you dearly but that version of you is gone, or buried deep inside. I hope you know how much you meant to me and do to this day. I'm so glad I knew you, but I'm also glad it ended when it did. I don't know why you prefer a life robbing stores and benefit scrounging but I hope you find a way out some day. I'm proud of you that you haven't given up, life threw you shit deal after shit deal and for all those years, every day you came out of bed and tried because you knew you were worth more. I hope that someday you'll find this attitude again.
I'm not there anymore but I still love you so so much.

Dear R
You were such an amazing friend the first years that I met you. You were kind, considerate, friendly, I felt so welcomed, I never had a friend like you before. You really came in when I needed you the most. I truly did love you, you were… Well, not like a sibling. But someone I knew I could count on.
Years later, I understand that I was over relying on you, and that my mental health became unstable and we couldn't deal with each other anymore. You also changed so much, your interests changed, your life changed, the people you hung around changed. Even your personality and physical appearance isn't the same anymore. Other people also have noticed. What happened between us is something I know I could had handled better, but I don't think we could had remained friends any longer. I don't regret this anymore. I hope I can forget about you soon.

I never got to know you. I sometimes think about you, if you were around, if you didn't pass, how different would life have turned out for me. Would things be this broken if you were still here? Everyone says I look like you. I didn't get your personality, but I got your mental issues. I do miss you, I just never knew you enough to be sad about it. I think about that day a lot. Ironically, I live two blocks from the funeral home we had your service at, and another two blocks where you did -it- I go past both places a lot. The funeral home looks just how it did when I was a kid in 93. That day rushes back every time I see it..(pic related)

I'm sorry I wasn't there on your final days. The anxiety was too great. I wish I had visited. I always tell myself tomorrow ill do it, and it just rolls over to the next day. I'm sorry for breaking your heart, I'm sorry for every time I made you sad. I love you, I miss you.
3.
I wish we got to hang out more. You were a great friend to me. You always made me laugh, you made life a little easier, you were a bright star that burned out too quickly. I miss you all the time, everyone abandoned me after you passed. But don't hate them. They abandoned me because I couldn't help my mental issues.. I let them down. I'm sure if you were still around, you could have talked to them… I miss watching Shrek with you every Tuesday. Your husband is doing well, I see him now and then. I can tell deep down he misses you, but he's moving on, I know you loved him. I'm sure you want him to be happy, and live his life. He is, he's always surrounded by friends.

H,

Mother,
I thought I hated you. I never got bullied at school, but you bullied me at home. I thought I hated myself for a long time, too. And yet, I was a good kid. I got a job, degree, didn't do drugs or drink and I am completely independent from you. I didn't do anything wrong.
You'll never apologise. And even though I should hate you, I don't. I pity you. You push everyone away - I think you just resent me for escaping from you, because dad and sis stayed.
Your health is poor. You need to step up and look after yourself. You have autism, even if you don't believe in it (thanks for passing it on, by the way).
Sometimes I have dreams that dad leaves you, and you live and die alone in squalor. I always wake up crying, even though you evicted me at 19. You didn't care where I ended up, and yet I care where you do.
I don't think I'm anything like you, and that brings me peace.

You are a pathetic man, and you always have been. A self-pitying, weak man who contorts reality to maintain his fragile ego. The sort of man who beats a little girl and kills her pet cat, but still believes he is the one who deserves sympathy. You are the sort of man who has the audacity to tell that little girl, now a woman, that you expected your "intentions" to vindicate your monstrousness. You look at me and you expect, what, pity? I feel none. You have made my heart cold. You are shameless. The fact you still sit across from me and say the most awful things about me, and then challenge me to disagree with your "simple facts" is astonishing. I was so stunned I couldn't speak. Where do you get this audacity from? Do you really want to go there? Do you want to talk about "simple facts"? How about the fact you spend all day playing video games, never lifting a finger to help cook or clean? How about the fact you are such a useless parent, mom only trusts me to look after your youngest child instead of you? How about the fact that you haven't worked in over a decade, but still find it in you to criticize your wife's paycheck? Or the fact that you're so weak your stint in grad school ended with you dropping out, suicidal and demoralized? You really want to criticize me when you are the only thing standing between me and everything I want? You, in your glass house, throwing rocks. You are complacent because you know I cannot fight back. You won't let me drive, won't let me leave, won't let me live. Mom says you're just getting desperate because you're scared if I leave, I'll never come back. She's right, you know. I do hate you. And it is your fault. It's all your fault.

Every single day I come across something that makes me think of you again. A song we sang together, a thing you loved, something we laughed over together, an opinion or odd habit of another random person that reminds me of you. I miss you constantly.
If this sounds like a confession of love, that's because it is. I don't know if you genuinely want to reconnect or not, but if you do, and if you'll be living in (redacted) next year, I apologize but I don't think I could bear spending time with you again. When we were still friends, my heart would ache whenever you mentioned him, or even when you were too busy to give me attention. I was more attached to you than a friend should be because I was desperately in love with you. I knew this wasn't sustainable, I knew you would never feel the same way, but I thought I'd have a little bit more time with our status quo than we ended up having. With the year I've had to reflect, I don't think I could try to force things back into the way they were. With me having come fully clean to myself about my feelings for you, I don't think I could push them back down again.
I'm sorry for the way our friendship ended, and I will deeply regret how I made you feel for the rest of my life, I think. But even if you did forgive me, I think I would be put in more pain seeing you again than cutting ties forever.

I don't know you personally, and I've never spoken to you, but you have inspired me so much. You are one of a kind, and I hope you continue making art forever, even if you aren't posting any of it online. Finding your blog was like a breath of fresh air; everyone online is so inauthentic these days, but you're just so unabashed about your passions. I frequently go through your archive to re-read your musings and admire your drawings—all of it is so unique and special; it's rare for me to find things that make me feel this way. I'm glad you overcame your anxiety and started posting your art online. Thank you for existing, you wonderful human being.

>>540422If your mind would be a place, it would be a house made of amalgam and brittle timber. It would have stairs becoming ropes and ground giving in, the couch rears up in grey and the mirror reflects only what’s behind you. All the hallways seem endless long until you suddenly bump into the door handle that unscrews itself, and the creaks echo in the bathwater long after it’s drained.
But you hear the phone clearly ringing, a familiar distant voice asks for that email, letters need to be send and answers given, step outside and the road is firm and proud and open in its reliable glory.
But it’s on the inside where you reside, where that maze is giggly dragging you through its undergrowth, placing you in its center, like a tag game, your turn, find your way back.
Find a way to write those letters from anywhere. Place that phonecall from the slippery roofs, using the antenna in the middle of the a storm, write that email in the basement that gets gently flooded, while the keys patiently demand a third press. You are trapped but you ain’t dying. It’s when you loose touch with the outside, when you miss a bus ticket, when you belate an appointment, when you misheard a break for a knock.
The rules of your house are not those of the office. And not those of the streets. Enter your house, rest, learn it’s language, it is your home. And find a way to sleep.
