Dear Dillingisalive,
Your words are appreciated and encouraging. It brings me back to where I long to pick up a pen and drag it across the pages, in hopes of creating more letters. Soon I hope…thank you.
Love Always,
Me
Dear World,
I may have just found my smile, my happiness, and my breath. It scares me to death, however I am willing to take the chance this time. Let’s do this. I look forward to the letters, the warmth and adventures. Onward we go…
Love always,
Forever
Dear You,
I wonder where you go when you are gone, what you think about, and what you are doing. I miss you terribly. You always come back, but it will always make me wonder. I wonder if the next time you disappear, if that would be the time you do not return to me. See you soon…I hope.
Love Always,
Me
Dear Boy,
You had never made my heart jump or stomach turn like the way you did tonight. 900 miles away and you made me feel like a child. I twirl my hair, bat my eyes and pout my lips. All the while on the inside I’m doing flips, loosing my breath, feeling my blood pumping quick.
All this for what? You are no good for me and I know this. You know this. You say I don’t want to be with you. I corrected you…you don’t want to be with me enough to realize what you’re doing to us.
You won’t ever let us, be an us.
I love you, but I hate you for it.
Love Always,
Girl
Dear BrotherCousinFriend,
That face you put on when we have out random run-ins. It breaks my heart. It’s a face of embarrassment, sadness, disappointment…it’s easy to read. It is difficult to look you straight in the eye, it brings me to tears. I may tell you it’s ok, and that I love you…however deep down I am dying. We were inseparable at one point. A little dynamic duo. I know life happens, and things change. I hurt with you, I cry about it all the time.
I loved your father so much and it hurt to have seen him go. I think it hurts more now to see what it has done to you. I miss you so much and it’s ok to feel the way you do. You do not have to be that strong boy next to me anymore. Break down, feel the pain…I get it. I just do not want to see you destroy yourself. It will tear me to pieces.
Why do you ignore me? Why do I have to wait for those random nights that I find you? You look at me and put on those faces…”I am drunk”, “I am so sorry” … “I love you”. What did I do to you? Why can’t it be the same as it always has….since we were kids?
Why did I have to go the way your father did? I know I remind you of him. And I hate myself for it, but I cant help it, what do I do? I just want you back in my life. I want to grow old with you like our fathers did. Raise our families side by side. I miss him terribly. I miss you more.
I want the boy I grew up with to keep growing up with me. I write this letter knowing it’s no use. You will not respond, and the next time you see me it’ll be the same.
I want you to know that I will always love you. I know my presence makes you hurt, and I am so sorry. I wish I could fix it, make it all better, make the tears stop…
Love Always,
YourSisterYourCousinYourFriend.
My Dearest Friend,
We are timeless and for always, nothing will change that. Distance, in the past, could not harm us. We have weathered more difficult storms in our time. We stand strong and togehter. We, as in you and I, as in you and the world. Either way, no matter. We have proved strong enough for the challenges that life has given us and for what lies ahead.
The next chapter begins, our next adventure starts. Although many emotions surge our minds and hearts, we have to remember it is all for the best. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. It is hard to hold us down, we fight, we want so much more. This leaves us on the last page of this now ending chapter…it is time for the next.
Times will be difficult, we should not be naive and ignore this. We must remember to keep control of the things that we can, and accept the things we can not. Appreciate those things we will always have. We will always have love. Even when you feel alone, love will not leave you. This love is for always.
Remember to breathe my love. Feel the air fill your lungs, the blood pumping as your heart beats. Appreciate the silent moments that remind you that you are alive. At times we may loose sight of the simple things that get us from one day to the next. We are for always and nothing can change this. Take your breath, it is time to turn the page.
Love always,
Me
Dear Life,
I feel it. I have spun out of control, loosing grip of all the reality I have slowly made for myself. I can not plant my feet, feel the ground, I do not know which way is up these days. Some days I want to take it back, other days I want to start all over again, to feel it one more time. I need you. Without you I whirl around not knowing my direction. I never knew how much you grounded me until the night we collided…collided with such a force that I am unsure if I will know my way back to the real world. I am still stuck in that moment. I replay it over and over again. Possibly hoping to feel that sensation of direction. Towards you, there was no confusion about that. Now…now what? Answer me please. Until then, my compass will spin.
Love always,
Me
Dear Inequality,
I hope you realise that the fires of your hate are vulnerable to the sweeping winds of change. That revolution will take away the face you hide behind, and reduce you to nothing but a quivering wreck. That the voice that preaches such intolerant hate will be drowned out by the euphoria brought by your greatest foe, equality.
I hope you realise, New York is only the beginning.

Dear Day of Independence,
Thank you. My family and I appreciate what you are and what you have done for us. The opportunities that we were given was because of you, and would otherwise never have been accessible. Eternally grateful.
Love Always,
