I don’t know what to write, I just feel extremely exhausted, I want to speak, I want to cry out loud. I’m tired of going to school because I always have to smile there. I’m very fragile, easily overwhelmed by emotions. I want to cry, but I don’t know why. I feel like there’s a chain of nightmares...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 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 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...
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...
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 Society…Dear Stranger Who Will Read This, I will never meet you, neither you me. We don’t know each other, that’s the one thing we know for sure. But the one thing I know is that society can influence us so much that in the end, we don’t recognize ourselves. The world is beautiful, but our s...
Dear Dad, I can see the pain you’re going through and sometimes I wish you didn’t live so far away so I can have “daddy hugs” on the daily again. It’s been about 10 years since you left but I still miss you all the time. I know and understand the reasons why you had to leave. You had to live your...
EX LOVER, BEFORE YOU LEFT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD YOU HAD TOLD ME MULTIPLE TIMES THAT YOUR ARMS WOULD BE OPEN FOR ME WHEN I WAS READY. AND THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING THROUGH SO MUCH STRESS AND ANXIETY. IT WAS MY LIGHT. IT WAS THE BIGGEST REASON I WORKED SO HARD TO ...
To My Dearest Friend, I wanted to let you know that I was the one who called child protective services on you. When you asked me to dog sit for you over the Christmas holiday, I agreed and didn’t think much of it. I know that you have been feeling depressed lately and thought you could use the br...
Dear Ex-Girlfriend, not a month goes by that I don’t think about the way things ended. That day in February was bitter cold when you called me. I was in bed, hungover, and just feeling lousy about myself and life. I hated who I had become at that point. I was drinking again every day, and you wer...
Dear Acquaintance, Since you moved out of town I've been thinking a lot about the past. Two things come to mind. #1 You should know the reason I broke you and your girlfriend up at the time. It was because she had cyclothymia and depression and she was suicidal and she had an abortion and it was ...
Dear Stepmother, I never wanted you to marry my father. He deserved so much better than you. When you came into our life, I would have done anything to keep you away from my home. Do you remember the day your car wouldn't start? I knew that you would get fired if you were late even one more time....
Sorry To The Person, I was really drunk one night. I ran into a dude and he bumped into me. I had a bad day and let my emotions get the best of me. The moment he bumped into me I pushed him. When he saw the look on my face he could tell he was really scared. Most of the time I was a nice guy but ...

Hi Friend, I'm writing because there's something I want to get off my chest. I don't really know how to talk about it. Four years ago my youngest brother died in a car accident. It's destroyed my family. I've never felt so lost in my life. What I've never shared with anyone, though, is that I sti...
Dear Cherished Friend, It has been a fortnight since we talked and I'm hoping that all is well with you and your family. I am doing well but I must say that it has not been really well due to the current norm around the world. I have therefore decided to write you this letter to let you know of t...
To An Ex-Boyfriend, Even though it has been more than a decade since we broke up, I still think about you and how awful everything turned out between us. We were very young and for a long time we were very happy and did everything together, but when I started feeling more and more like the adult ...
TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN, I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY OUR LIVES ARE SO DRIVEN BY MONEY. THEY ALWAYS SAY MONEY IS THE KEY TO HAPPINESS, AND SADLY, IT'S TRUE. WITHOUT IT, WE REALLY CAN'T DO MUCH. IT AFFECTS OUR LIVES GREATLY. SIMPLY, WHY CAN'T WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE ANYONE CAN ENJOY LIFE SIMPLY WIT...
Dear Whoever, So I am supposed to write to you about my "innermost thoughts." Honestly, they're pretty dark these days. I am flat broke, I am lonely, I both crave intimacy and reject it all the same. I want to get married and have children and both feel so far out of my grasp. I am not going t...
Dear, I hope you are doing well. How is your marriage life? Is your husband still drinking? I have to share with you something that happened. I wish you could help me. I am having real problem at work. The cause is my colleague. He is torturing me a lot. He keeps degrading me in front of othe...
Dear you, I don't think you know how much you hurt me. But even more, I don't think you care. I have spent months trying to wrap my mind around everything that has happened. How could you just leave like that? And expect me to be okay with it? Did you ever stop for a second to think that sendi...
Dear Society, I greet you with love, strong sentiments, and a deep sense of responsibility. Being an indispensable part of you, a unique, non-replaceable part, I understand the scope of my duties and obligations and I am more than willing to do my best in fulfilling them. But, I have serious d...
To the Man I Love, I don't know why it is so hard for us to speak. But we have to speak. We have to fix these problems we have because if not, it will be the end of us. I know this and you know this, as sad as it may be. I love you and I always will. This is not a question of love, but of how ...
DEAR DAD, IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GONE FOR TWELVE YEARS. YOU WERE ONLY FORTY-SEVEN WHEN YOU DIED ON THAT SOFTBALL FIELD. THAT WAS THE HARDEST DAY OF MY LIFE. WHEN I GOT THE CALL FROM MY FRIEND WHO WAS ON YOUR TEAM THAT YOU HAD A HEART ATTACK, I YELLED AT HIM FOR PLAYING A SICK...
Dear Person who Hurt Me, I don't know who you are and I suppose I will never know. I know you may not know how much You've changed my life and you may not even care. But I do! I'm the one who has to live with what you did! I was only a baby and you felt the need to put your disgusting hands on...
To whom it may concern: Why did you do all of that stuff to me when I was younger? It changed me, both mentally and physically. I know I did not show it. As I was a Silent child. But you stole my childhood away, I sometimes wonder what I would have done and accomplished if you would have left me ...

Dear Lover, In one month we will be getting married! I cannot even believe the time is almost here. I'm feeling a bit of stress about it, as I'm not quite done with the decorations yet, and I haven't reserved the chairs, either. You know money is tight right now, so figuring out the food part is ...
Dear old man Teacher My first day of college was amazing. I felt, at ease and felt like I belonged. However, there had been a few times where I Questioned your actions. One example would be when you get off-topic, and happened to bring up mental Issues. All of a sudden, you started making fun of ...
Dear Mom, I have loved you. I have hurt you. At times I have ignored you as well. But you know, I never meant to do that knowingly. There were times when yo have loved and cared for me much more than yourself. I feel pained when I remember those moments when I had screamed and shouted at you....
