You were not good for me. There is a reason we are not together: a lot of growing had to happen. I needed to learn that I have worth regardless of what others say. And you all had to learn to stop behaving like spoiled children and take responsibility for your choices and your lives. Knowing y...
Dear Soon-to-be Ex Husband, A month of separation gave me more clarity than I anticipated, and next week I am filing papers to end the rollercoaster ride I’ve been on with you for 15 years. The space highlighted how there is not room in this relationship for me, your ego and your desperate nee...
Dear Lover, Why is it I seem to love you more than I love myself? I sit here in your home for days and when we aren't getting high and having sex, you barely speak to me. Sometimes when I’m asked if I should leave you tell me no. So I stay. I busy myself with ordering groceries when I have to.
Dear Mum, You are one of the most selfish people I have ever had the misfortune to meet. It took me years to realize that you only care about yourself. You are emotionally immature and are incapable of caring for others. You can't form any emotional connections. At least none that are healthy, wh...
I met and fell in love with a guy who I later found out was involved with someone else. I continued the relationship despite him being taken. He says he loves me, yet is staying with her. Saying that he feels obligated to. Even though he’s very unhappy. I feel broken without him. When she found o...
To my ex-wife: Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I really don’t know why. Anyway, this thinking has brought me to this moment where I am writing you a letter. I won't sugar coat it, I know I was a bastard! I am still today! The one thing you wanted from me, I was not able to give. ...
Dear Family of Origin; It's time for me to be honest with you all. Straight talk time, kids. I've made a habit for far too long of allowing your words to be the running narrative of my life. In my darkest moments, it was your voices I heard: selfish, liar, dreamer, unrealistic, impractical....
Let me also say that I am kind, smart, funny and courageous. Others have seen this in me & I have seen it in me. So the fact that you couldn't means the failing is yours, not mine. Anyway, the time for you to be in life is over now. As 2021 ends, I have decided that I don't need your approval ...
I loved you with all my heart. And put it out there again. And again, you’ve broken it. I’ve got to move on. Your message—or lack of it—told me all I need to know. I’m not what you want. If I was, you wouldn’t ignore texts. You would make sure I knew. I’m a back-up plan; someone you know will ...
Lets start today over shall be when a bish get's hungry you better eat. I've gotta Stop with this negative shit in the mornings. You've got everything you need. You've got got your right mind. You've got your non-toxic environment. You've got your happiness. Make today count even if y...
I wish words were magic, and maybe some part of me does if I'm writing this, whether it works or not well, that's another problem. Does a spell always work? Can it turn into a curse? Anyway... let's hope this letter turns into a healing spell, even though you won't know this is also for you. My h...

Dear Mom, You are the stupidest person I know and a liar. I try to avoid saying I love you on phone calls because I don’t feel love for you anymore. I only allow you to talk to me because you pay my phone bill. You’re so capricious. You think you know my life better than I know myself. I truly be...
Dear Friend, I don’t have too many major regrets in my life but of the few that I have, yours pops into my head most often, and the feeling is so bitter-sweet. One night you drove me home from the party, we were parked outside my apartment. And we were joking and laughing. Somewhere in there, I d...
Dear Coworker I Adore, We have worked together for two years now. I have to tell you that my smile and good mood is only because you’re near me. My heart is always beating so hard when I am in your company. I love the way you smile, the sound of your voice and the way you smell. I’m not sure that...
Dear Ex-Husband, I never felt what letting go was like until I felt you and me both went our separate ways. Though it won't be wrong to say that it was a scary feeling initially, it was also clear that the things our relationship was going through were hard to carry on with. People do say that it...
Dear Son, I wanted to tell you the reason that I was away from you for so many years. Maybe now that you're an adult you'd be able to understand my reasons. I made horrible choices that ultimately cost me everyone and everything I had in life my most importantly you and your sister. I was drinkin...
From Your Wife, I would like to come clean about something that's been bothering me for a couple of decades. There was a particular incident that happened many years ago in which I did something illegal. My parents knew about it, but other than that, nobody else knows. I have not told a soul, the...
Dear Potential Life Partner, After I graduated college, back in 1996, I would go down to Manhattan twice a month by taking the train from the suburbs. I would go to a gay bar. I was somewhat depressed at the time being that I just finished college, and I didn't know what my place in the world wou...
To An Old Friend, It has been years since we spoke, but I still think about you every day. I hate that our friendship ended, and I wish we could go back to the way it was in high school again, but I know it probably cannot. Is this just because we grew up and grew apart or for other reasons? I he...
My Love, I love you more than I've ever loved before. I feel so fortunate to have you. So when I say that sometimes I hurt wondering if I am being told by you that my understanding of our shared reality is wrong all the time, know that hurt scars me deeply. The scars are so deep and raw that I'm ...
To My Lovely Crush, it has been over a week since we last met at a friend's party. I hope that you have been well and kicking. You have always wanted to know how I am doing and I felt that I should also check on you today as I also would like to share something that I have hidden from you for alm...
You have no idea the damage you’ve done on my heart, the number you’ve done on my head. You don’t understand I love you like I’m in love with you. As bad as it is, as pathetic as it sounds, I would likely take you back right now. After everything you’ve done to me I still love you. Sick and twist...
Dear Former Friend, I’m still thinking, and let’s face it, laughing, about the “scathing tell off“ you felt compelled to post the other day. I actually screen-shot it and sent it to a few of your former and my continued friends, and on reflection of conversations with them, I guess I owe you an a...
To My Children’s Evil Stepmother, Aren’t you glad you used his powers for good? Your own choices have been your punishment. You’ve been shackled? To lies for 10 years, having to live some twisted parity of the Brady Bunch. You’ve always fancied yourself way too much for a lady whose biggest accom...
Dear Young Me, I'm so sorry. It will hurt, really bad. And even when you won't be able to bear it anymore, it will still hurt. I'm so sorry for what will happen to you and those around you whose pain you won't be able to understand because yours will always feel greater. Now I know what you'll ha...
Dear Dad, There’s so much that I want to say, but I don’t know where to start. I’m sure you have been wondering why I have been so distant the last several months and I have been wanting to reach out and tell you, but I’ve never really known how. You see ever since you have mended your relationsh...

I'm easy to score, you don't need to say you love me for me to say that I'm yours. I'm kinda cheesy, I'll write you a poem that's way too long to read so I send it in sections. I'm kinda crazy, I want to know more about you, so I write 40 questions to ask you when you spend time with me. You don'...
Dear Bay City, Bay city I hate you so much. I stayed in a mental fog daily for the last 2 years of my life. You turned me into someone I never thought I would be. You <temporarily> stripped me of all hope & happiness. You taught me how to fake it every single day to make others happy. You brought...
To My Wife, I have wanted to write to tell you about this long-held secret of mine. For many years now I have enjoyed watching and betting on horse racing. Although you know I go to the track with friends once or twice a season, you do not know how much I bet. I do not just bet a horse to win for...
To My Husband, Before your second Father’s Day and on our anniversary weekend, Honestly, I can’t even figure out how to start this letter, much less when I’m going to end up writing by the end. The last year and nobody could’ve predicted but you know in a way the emotional dynamics are not far of...
To A Lovely Mother, I’ve always wished that you might accept every part of who I fully am and with an open mind and open arms. I’ve heard the way you speak about people like me. People who love other people who also happen to share genders. I have always wanted to tell you that I like women the w...
Dear Ex Best Friend, I think about you a lot. We haven’t spoken in 3 to 4 years now and that still bothers me. I met you in the US and ever since then we were like Cheech and Chong lol. I never wanted to leave your side. I’m about to turn 31, and since our “falling out,“ my heart still hurts over...
To My Dear Friend, I know it may surprise you because he had the impression that I am quite well off financially, but I’m actually not doing that well. I just never wanted to tell you because as you know I am a fairly private person and I’m self-conscious about discussing aspects of myself I am n...
Dear Dad, I know our relationship had gotten stronger since I had S but there are things in my life that I've always wanted to express and tell you but have never had the courage to why out loud and still don't. Why was I never good enough for you? Is it because I wasn't a boy? Is it because I wa...
Dear Daddy, To my pilot, my hero, my sweet father, this day is for you. What an honor it is to be your daughter. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten nor your bravery and courage. All gave some, some gave all so the many men and women like you will always be remembered. I’m so glad ...
You, I’m here to tell you about the future. Your future. I can see you right now. High school, you’re done in just two years. In two years you’ll be a senior. A great year. Don’t worry, you graduate. Standing up there, shaking your headmaster’s hand, you’ll feel so proud of yourself. You’re in fo...
A letter to myself I want to be someone else, I'm sick of the skin I'm in. I'm a Debby down who only thinks negatively about who I am. I radiate positivity for others, everyone sees me as a happy bubbly person but on the inside, I'm so insecure with everything I do and say. I feel like I'm not wo...
To My Father, When I was a young child I truly believed you loved me and we shared a special father-daughter bond. As I got older I began to question the true intentions of why you ignored my sisters and openly admitted I was your favorite. You were manipulating me into thinking I was special to ...
Dear Friend From Long Ago, I don’t have too many major regrets in my life, but of the few that I have, yours pops into my head most often and the feeling is so bitter-sweet. We’ve been casual friends for a long time. You almost feel like a little brother to me. There is also a little spark there ...
To my sister-in-law, I know we aren't on good terms and haven't been in years. I know everyone thinks I'm just mad at you, and I am. But what I'm too embarrassed to admit is that I was extremely hurt by what felt like rejection from you. My own sister had mental health issues and treated me horri...
