30 Letters: Day 3: Dear Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know I don't see you as often as I should, but I do love you both dearly! I wish we didn't get into as many arguments, but I love you anyway.  I'm grateful you've stopped judging me, or expecting me to be exactly what you want, and I hope you'll continue to just love me for who I am.

I am grateful for the way I was raised, even if it was hard sometimes.  I think the fact that you were so strict and not afraid to punish means I turned into a better and more responsible person.  I think more parents should spank their children, ground them, and be firm.  It makes for better adults.  Luckily, even with as strict as you are, it was still a loving environment to grow up in-most of the time.

I also need to thank you for instilling in me a high work ethic, I'm so grateful for my ability to work hard and excel at what I do.

Thanks Dad, for teaching me to love reading. I don't think I'd be half as intelligent if I didn't start reading books at such an early age, and loving them as much as you do.

Thanks Mom for passing your creative genes down to me.  I love that I'm an artist, and I wish I could be half as talented as you!

I couldn't have asked for much more, you are great parents! Even with all of our issues as a family, you are ten times less dysfunctional than the parents of my friends, and every time they complain about it I am ever so grateful for you both! 

Love you!

30 Days: Day 2: Dear Crush

Dear Crush,

Since you don't exist, I'm writing this letter out to the universe... I've been feeling so numb lately.  Numb because of the lack of falling madly in love; numb because of the lack of broken heartedness; and numb with the lack of desire for either feeling.

Some may say not feeling a broken heart, or aching for someone, is a good thing.  However, the numbess-this silence-that is my heart is maddening.  My brain tells me "You should go out and get swept up in the joy of a new romantic fling."  My heart responds "Maybe next week..." over and over again.  My brain says "Isn't there someone you should be missing or aching to find?"  My heart responds with it's carefree "Meh."  The brain gets desperate at this point and says "I'm so bored with everything right now!  Can't we please do something emotionally charging to break up the monotony of it all?"  My heart says "Have fun with that, I'm staying out of it."

So I guess, dear crush, if you're out there, I'd like you to come along and put the feeling back into me?  I'd like to meet someone who sends that bolt of energy to this battery hanging drained in my chest, a bolt enough to jump start feeling again.

Sincerely,

Loveless and Desire Free.

30 Letters: Day 1: Dear Best Friend

Hey everyone!  Day one of my 30 letters challenge.  Today is supposed to be a letter to my best friend, but there really are so many of them that fall into that category.  For what it's worth, I'll pick my top 3 that I'm closest with, and write them each a letter.  I can't pick just one.

Dear Kristina,

Having you as my best friend these last few years has been the best!  You are truly the one person in the world I can tell my deepest darkest secrets, my fears, my regrets, and my joys too without feeling judged and without worry that you'll think less of me.  You are my other half in so many ways, and I've been extremely grateful for our connection. It seems to get stronger every time, and this summer has been so crucial in our closeness, as I feel it more now after Denver and San Francisco, than ever.

Thank you for always being there for me, through thick and through thin.

I love you!
Angie

Dear Josh,

You are one of my very best friends in the entire world, and I have so loved living with you!  Even in the rough times, you are one of the best roommates I've ever had.  I love that we can just hang out and be ourselves and not worry about what the other thinks.  Whether it's getting up early for Sunday breakfast or sitting around in our PJs watching True Blood.  You are the best, and you shouldn't believe otherwise.  Anyone would be lucky enough to have you, so keep your chin up and stop dating the crazies!

Love you always!

Angie

Dear David,

You really are me with a penis, and I love you to the very depths of the ocean and to the heights of the universe.  You have always been there for me, and I always have a great time when we're together.  I need to see you so much! 

Remember, I can be your fag hag, and you can be my gay.

Also, fucking kiss them both at the same time.

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuurves!

You with boobs.

Dear Heather,

I miss you sooooooo much!  I'm sad we never get to see each other anymore, but I want you to know that I love you forever and am so glad to have you in my life!  I need to come visit you, and you need to come visit me.  Plus, I want to love on your baby some more.

Love you lots! 

Angie

Dear Matthew,

I am so glad we've remained friends after all of our history and all of these years!  Those two kids of yours are like honorary kids to me, and I've loved them very dearly.  I'm glad you moved in down stairs so I get to see you more often and do more with you, it makes everything better! 

Love ya!

Angie
