Dear Friend, I've wanted to tell you this forever but I never really could muster the courage to say this to you in person... I've had a crush on you since middle school. I didn't think that I was your type, and I was really shy back then, so I just kept it to myself. I didn't want to risk the po...
Dear Dad, I am sorry I wasn't a better son. I feel that I have let you down as a son. When I was young, all I wanted to do was spend time with you but as we grew apart I stopped wanting to be around you. I know I rebelled a lot and was always sneaking out. All I wanted to do was hang out with fri...
Hey You. I know we don't talk as much as we used to and that's on me. It has been so hard to be around you lately because I've been holding onto a secret for some time now. I have feelings for you. I always have. You've been unavailable for so long and I never wanted to get in the way of what I a...

Hi Friend, I'm writing to you because I have to been struggling with a secret I haven't been able to tell anyone about. It seems almost stupid really. I started classes this week, right? Well, I barely graduated from college. I struggled so much in my undergrad classes, I didn't know what I wante...
Dear Love, I know it has been a year since we last spoke but I still think of you every day. I think every day about how things could have been different so that we could have stayed together. I always think about the good times that we had, but then it always goes back to the time it went downhi...
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 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...
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 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...
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...
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...
Dear Anonymous, I don't know who will read this letter but I hope you are doing well. It was an uneventful Sunday and I spent the day at home relaxing with my family and doing nothing stressful. That I will leave till tomorrow. The weather was perfect and I kind of wish it would rain this week...
Dear Reader, Today I worry a lot... I am 29 and at a dead end job that doesn't pay me properly. I am frustrated as well because I have been looking for a new opportunity since last November but I have nothing!! I wish I had studied something more marketable, then I would be better off and happ...
To a woman I hurt, It's been over 4 years since we last spoke. We ended our relationship with "forgiveness", but I still think about it all the time. I don't feel like you truly forgave me, nor do I feel that you ever fully understood the reasons I acted how I did. I'm not even sure I remember an...
