dear you,
I miss our inside jokes. That's what stinks. And I miss being able to talk about books and fictional guys and know that you understood me perfectly. But I don't miss the other things. I’m glad to be free of that.
dear you,
So when I said that I thought you should be more open to the idea and I hoped you would reconsider, I really thought you were being completely rude and dramatic. And I really didn’t like that.

dear you,
Do you even know how much I have had to fight to get over you? And that’s funny because I really only knew you for six months.
dear you,
We’ve had so many ups and downs. Our relationship is always going through something weird. But you do understand me, and I’m grateful for that. Thanks for sticking around. I wish things were different.

dear you,
You were my best friend when I was five and now I don’t remember you. I’d like to see you again though.
dear you,
You are one of the most brilliant and amazing authors ever. I want to meet you so badly. Thanks for writing my life into a story many times over.

dear you,
I think that if things were different we would have been best friends. I’ve always thought you were beautiful and seemed super interesting.
dear you,
I’m sorry life is so hard. I can’t even imagine how bad you’re feeling and I know that it stinks. I’m always here for you.

dear you,
I really don’t like it when people think they understand me perfectly without ever pausing to see if they do or not. So could you stop? Now?
dear you,
I would so marry you if you were real.

dear you,
Sometimes I think you’re so bipolar I could scream. Why do you always make everything such a big deal? And no matter how many times you say everything’s fine, it’s not. It’s just not.
dear you,
Teach me to write poetry like you do. It’s surreal how brilliant you are.

dear you,
Thanks for being there to listen to me rant on Thursday. You have no idea how much I needed that.
dear you,
I wish you were around more and that we could talk. I hate that you’re always so busy.

dear you,
Thanks for trying. Nobody’s perfect but you sure come close.
dear you,
I love playing Truth with you. Thanks for being honest.

dear you,
It’s ok, you don’t have to have all the answers. One day at a time.
dear you,
I wish you weren’t so stubborn. You are so close, if you would just open your eyes and see it.

dear you,
Your music makes my life.
dear you,
If I’m ever half as creative and original as you I will be really happy.

I’m (superamazinglybeyondbeliefcan’twaittilthatmoment) excited to meet you.

Love (or something less than love),

LOVE this. May I get permission from you and Erin to do a post like this? :D
ReplyDeleteI think I know who you're talking to on a few of these.
ReplyDeletebookbutterfly--please do!
ReplyDeletei'm so glad you did this, too.
my favorite, that i relate to:
dear you,

So, these are written by you, to anonymous people?
ReplyDeleteBB--- Totally do :)
ReplyDeleteQ--- yeah some of them are kind of obvious.
Erin--- it's really therapeutic! I love it :)
Jac--- I didn't know you read my blog! And yup, haha.
I love this whole "dear you" idea! Some of them were funny, and some were sad. They're amazing!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you, Erin and Danielle. I've written part of the post already. So excited to post it!! :D
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, you won an award at my blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the really positive feedback on these! I really like doing this :)
ReplyDeleteFor each of these posts I've wondered if one was directed at me. [Everybody is wondering the same...I'm just saying it. :P]
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny how that works-- like reading Erin's, Madison's, etc. I'm always like, "Hmm I wonder who that one is to..."
ReplyDeleteMost of them are to be people I actually know, though. (I'll respond to your email in a minute)
I really like this idea. May I also steal it? ;)
