To my oldest friend, Just checking in to see how you are doing and handling all of this COVID stuff. I am taking it day by day and trying to follow all the social distancing norms. I make sure to stay away from others and sanitize every time I touch something. I would hate to bring it home and in...

My Second Husband, I've wanted to tell you this for such a long time, but the time was never right. We did al to of living, raising our kids together - yours, mind, and ours- like the movie from the 60's, and for the most part I was happy. For many years, I thought you were too, and that's why it...

To the love of my life, from your first love, I wanted to shake off these feelings and an infinite number of times because of pride. I decided I cannot continue to let my pride control me. First off, I am so sorry for treating you in any way accept what you deserved. So many times I projected my ...

Dear Sweetheart, who would have ever believed that we would be in the situation we're in now? If you'd have asked me six months ago I would have told you that you were crazy. When this started, I had no idea it would turn out like this! I feel that we are very blessed during this time since we ca...

To my friend, I have always been a loner in my life. Most people around me do not recognize it but I always feel like I never fit in anywhere. I've never felt an interpersonal relationship with my friends. My girlfriend is kind and understanding but there is a gaping hole inside me that yearns fo...

Dear Friend, I have something I want to tell you that has been weighing heavily on my mind for some time, both on my heart and my mind. I fear it will damage our relationship - not the gravity of the secret itself, but that I've lied to you about it so recently. In the past six months or so, I've...

To the One That Got Away, You're married now and have a kid. And I'm truly happy for you, I am. Because deep down I know we wouldn't have worked. Despite having passion, despite loving each other, despite "getting each other," despite making each other laugh, there was always something missing. S...

Dear Friend, I've always wanted to discuss this with you but I've never felt it was the right time. With you being black and me being white I want to discuss the racism in our community. We live in a very segregated and low key racist community and I want to know your thoughts. Kids would make jo...

To The Lover Who Hurt Me, It's been almost a week since we've last spoke. The last conversation we had was you telling me that you did not want a relationship with me. You told me I deserved better and that you could not give me what I was looking for. That cut me deep. How could you say this...

Dear Mother, When I was a child I remember you being attentive. There were problems, but you tried. Something changed when I turned 16. You started going out more and acted like the teenager I was supposed to be. There were things you told me I should not have known. You started treating me li...

Hi Sweetheart, I know it's been a while since I have written a proper letter to you. Do you remember how years ago I used to write letters to you all the time? Yeah, and you never wrote back because heaven forbid you would put pen to paper. But with Covid-19, I have found the time to revive my lo...

To my dear friend and former professor, It's been over 4 years since I've seen you, and I've often thought about the impression you placed upon me. I've never been so vulnerable with anyone about my race, and pacify any walls I may have, especially concerning fears of being too arrogant, privile...

To An Old Love, I wish we could have met at a better time in our lives. You were about to graduate, a semester early even, and I was still just a junior in college. You're from the city and I'm from Upstate. Neither of us wanted to do a long-distance relationship, so we just left our status as...

Dear Co-Worker, It has been a long time since we last met. It is my hope that this will find you well. I understand that the pandemic has kept everyone indoors but it will soon be over and we shall meet just like we used to. I have always trusted you with everything that I am but today I feel lik...

Dear Woman v who judged me, noticed I know this may be awkward since I am a white male and you are a Middle-Eastern Woman, but I am still human and felt the effects of the judgment you had against me that day in the park. I was by myself painting a picture of the trees and buildings when you came...

Dear Love of My Life, Can you believe that we've been together for almost ten years? It feels like yesterday when we met in the instant message chat room. At first, I thought you were a big jerk for making fun of my friends, yet I'm glad I decided to give you a chance. You turned out to be the sw...

Dear Mother Earth, I wish I had treated you better these past 5 decades. When I walked Earth Day '70, I was so hopeful and felt I was acknowledging your place in the scheme of us people: to give credit and respect where credit and respect was due. Basically, this about taking care of our home...

Dear, It is almost a month since we broke up. I am so lonely, that I can barely cope. As one needs happiness so do I still need you in my heart. The whole break up wasn't my idea and up till this moment I can barely understand why you chose to end things when I was just preparing to propose t...

To The Boy I Care About, There's something I want to say because I head your song about me. The smart girl, who makes you feel insecure? Whether or not that's really what I am is another conversation, but you're a really clever guy, and I hope you know that. It makes me sad to think that you c...

Dear Little Sister, I've been thinking so much about you lately. Thinking about what a terrible sister I was to you. My heart aches for all the pain I caused you. I hope that one day you will know how much I loved you and love you. When mom left us and you were just a baby, I was only six year...

To the Mother I Never Knew, How do you say hello, to someone that you can’t remember, but who gave you such an amazing life? I wonder about you often. Do you think about me? All I know about you, is that you were young, when you brought me into this world. I imagine that you were afraid, that...

To My Ex-Girlfriend, Why do you continue to call me? It has almost been 10 years since you last broke up with me. It's hard to believe really. Yet, just about every year you feel the desire to contact me. I still love you, but sometimes I wish I didn't. I don't think you realize, or understan...

Dear Mom, As I write this letter to you I have reached the age that you were when you passed. I hope you somehow know that I am writing this. I have reflected long and hard on trying to understand you leaving me and my sisters at such a young time in our lives. I now have a better perspective...

Dear Conservatives of the United States Government, I honestly can not believe that you support the illegalization of abortion in the United States. In case you have not forgotten, it is the year 2019 and not the 1950s! It honestly feels like you are making the country go backward in time wit...

Dear Mom, I feel very cheated that I didn't have a good mother growing up. You liked my sister, but you didn't like me or have anything to do with me. We never had a normal conversation, except you tell me what to do. One time I said that I looked like you and you said oh no you don't, you loo...

Dear wife, Today I woke up and all I could think of was you. I miss you when you are not here. My favorite days are the once we can wake up together. I love the days when we have time to drink coffee and talk. I love you for so many reasons. You are always there when I need you. Always a phon...

Dear Mama, Hi! I love you. I just want to start this letter off by saying that I love and miss you and the family so dearly! I knew that I was taking a huge risk moving across the country for love, and that I would be abandoning my sense of community and security in doing so, but I didn't thi...

Mom, You are the best any boy could ask for, you love and care for me even when I'm sick but best of all you are helpful when you're sick. - I'm sorry I don't remember the young times we had together but watching those videos not only brought tears to you but me as well. I miss the Mother & So...

Dear Society, I must begin this letter by expressing my sincere thanks of how you, an apparently extremely concerned individual, took time out of your, I'm sure very busy schedule to notice me. Thank dure, for taking your attention off of the many issues in our world that are actually importan...

To The Guy That Made Me Want More, I most likely will never, ever see you again unless your acting goes really well. We'll never talk again, we'll never hang out, joke, or take long drives at night. I feel some regret with all that, but at the same time, I don't. You were cool and we had a lo...

To The One Who Hurt Me, You really made a fool out of me. You told me about your rough upbringing and had me believe that you had changed. I removed you from the environment you so desperately wanted to break away from and we spent a year falling in love and making beautiful memories. I don'...

Dear Dad, I Love You. I know writing a letter in this day and seems a little too old fashioned but sometimes, penning down words seems easier than standing in front of you and telling you how much you mean to me. It's because of you that today, I can call myself a strong and independent woman...

Dear Mom, Words cannot express the gratefulness and appreciation I feel for you, neither can they define the thanks that I would love to give you for everything you have done for me. You have always been there for me, through right and wrong, and have shown me the way you have always pushed me...

To my Mom And Dad, I know you are back together again which is the only comfort I have because life is so hard without you both. All those special occasions, my wedding day, the births of my babes, they were just so difficult without you here. My children are still so young, they would have lo...

Dear Mama Let me first begin by saying, "I do love you." I just prefer to love you from afar now because I need to protect my sanity and inner peace. I do not like the person I become when I am around you. Because I choose to respect you while shunning your toxic behaviors, I keep my mouth qui...

To Someone From My Past, I really wanted things to work out. I imagined my life a certain way. I had dreams that will never come to pass. But I grew up and realized that all the heartache and stress weren't worth it. There are many other worthwhile ways of living my life that don't involve lit...
