Day 19 - Letter to a Person That Pesters my Mind

Dear Person.

I don't know if you've ever heard of the multiverse theory.
I like it.

Love,
Reida

Day 18 - Letter to the Person I Wish I Could Be

Dear perfect self.,

You think that you are pretty.
You are pretty.
You don't find it necessary to spend over an hour getting ready every morning.
You aren't too skinny.
You don't have stretch marks.
You don't have skinflap.
You wouldn't care, even if you did.
You aren't afraid of everything.
You aren't such a hypochondriac.
You don't let people push you around.
You would have done what you thought you should have done months ago.
You are a better parent.
You don't spend time wishing you knew better what to do with Ashe.
You help people.
You don't procrastinate.
You don't curse.
You are selfless.
You understand yourself.
You didn't fuck up.
You show appreciation.
You don't dislike yourself at all.


You do not want what you do not, and can not have.

Please come trade lives.
Love,
Me.

Day 15 - Letter to the person I miss the most

Dear Person,

I miss you...so so much. You are probably one of my favorite people I have ever met. I wish I could see you again soon, but I highly doubt that will happen, sadly! You've been a great friend, and I can tell you everything! I can't say that about many people. Actually...I can't say that about anyone else. So feel special, because you are.

Btw. The answer to that one question a long long time ago?
Mutual.

Love,
Reida

Day 14 - Someone I have drifted away from

Dear Vanessa/Jessica/Ashley,

We used to be BFFs before I moved! It's kinda lame we never talk anymore, but I guess it's all our faults in different ways. We've all changed (for better and worse!) and I guess it just isn't going to be like it was again.
That's okay though, I'm pretty sure we're all happy how we are now. I'm glad things are going well for you guys!
I miss you guys, stay in touch!

Love,
Reida

Day 13 - Someone I wish could forgive me

Uh. Can't do this one.

Day 12 - The person that caused me a lot of pain

Just to clarify, I don't really hate anyone, so I'm just going with the "a lot of pain" thing...

Dear Tyler,

Yeah, I know this isn't exactly a letter that you'd really want to receive, but in all honesty, you've hurt me quite a bit. There are other people that have hurt me as well, but those all just seem far too petty to really write about now.
So, you know all the things you've done and the things you haven't done but should have. Whats past is past. I chose to stay, and am still doing so. While I won't say I really forgive you, I will say that it doesn't matter anymore, and I'm glad I've let these things go.
I love you!

Day 11 - Letter to a deceased person I wish I could talk to

Dear Daniel (again!),

I guess I'm writing you again! I wish you could have come to the lake today! It was fun! :)
There's so many things I wish you could have done. So many things you should have been able to see...
I don't get it.

Love,
Reida

Day 10 - Letter to someone I wish I talked to more

There's nobody I really want to write this one to.

Day 9 - Letter to someone I wish I could meet

Dear self 6 years ago,

I wish I could meet you. Then maybe I could attempt to understand the things I started doing/did.
I think I'd understand myself so much more.

Love,
Yourself 6 years in the future

Day 8 - Letter to my favorite internet friend

Dear HT,

My twin! Usually I can't stand people that are too much like me, but I guess your the exception! It's really awesome to have someone to talk to that sees things the same way I do most of the time.
We've had many a good time drunk talking, or running in circles around Dala, or hanging out in the eco-domes in Netherstorm when we should have been leveling/doing something productive. We should do that again sometime soon :)

Also, thanks so much for listening to me bitch and moan and ask stupid random questions all the time.
And we shall see you soon!

Day 7 - Letter to my ex's

Dear ex's,

There's a reason you are "ex"s. You all taught me a lot, but I'm glad it didn't really go anywhere.

Love,
Reida

Day 6 - Letter to a stranger

Dear stranger,

I bet you have a very interesting story. I won't ever know it, but I'd like to. I love meeting new people, but I won't talk to you. As much as I like new people, they scare me. It's nothing personal, but I won't talk to you out of pure terror.

I wish you the best.

Love,
Reida

Day 5 - Letter to my dreams

Dear dreams/goals,

You won't elude me for long!
You are coming at me in a different order than I expected...While I did want kids, I never expected to have one at 19. Haha. I wouldn't change it for the world!
But now, I'm going to work my ass off to accomplish you. I WILL finish school. I WILL get my RN. I WILL become a NICU nurse. I WILL own my own house. I WILL get married. I WILL have more kids. I WILL send them to college.

And there's nothing in the world that will stop me. Go ahead and try!

Love,
Reida

Day 4 - Letter to my sibling

Dear Daniel,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately! You'd be 15 this year, I think...that's just so crazy. Mom said she found the pictures she had of you the other day. I wanted to see them, but I didn't want to ask her to dig them out again...it's really hard on her whenever she finds those. She really misses you, and I'm sure dad does, too.

Also, I've decided to become a NICU nurse, so I can help babies that were like you, and hopefully, give them a much better shot than they gave you. I don't think I'll ever understand the doctor's decisions that day...I wish I could change them. I wonder if things would have been different had they made better decisions...
Anyways, on a happier note! I'm sure you already know this, but your an uncle now! I really wish you could meet Ashe. You'd love her.
I do feel you around sometimes. I hope that, wherever you are, your happy. I'll get to meet you eventually!

I love you, buddy.
Reida

Day 3 - Letter to my parents

Two separate ones
here...

Dear mom,

I know we've had our problems. I've been a raging bitch, you've been a raging bitch. We've both hurt each other. But that's all in the past now! I just want you to know that I love you, I'm glad things are going better for both of us, and I'm really sorry for all the crap I've done.

Love,
Reida

Dear dad,

You've helped me more than any person could ever expect to be helped. I know I don't deserve it...at all, but thank you so much. And yeah, I should have listened to you with pretty much everything...but shush. :)
Love you!

Reida

Day 2 - Letter to my crush

I didn't get on the computer at all yesterday, so here it is today. :)

Dear crush,

Crushes are, in fact, horrible. I both hate and love the feeling of having one, but the whole process is just awful.
Every now and then, you tend to show up and make me batty. That's okay, though. Keeps me on my toes, and the stupid meaningless giddy feeling is kinda fun from time to time.

Love,
Reida!

Day 1 - Letter to my best friend

Dear Tyler,

Yeah, it's kind of sad I can't use someone else as a "best friend", but I wouldn't have it any other way! You put up with all my crap, and spend 99% of your time with me, and I love it. I can talk to you about anything, and do pretty much anything with you. Even through all the tough times, you've stuck with me. You keep me from going crazy, and help me find my phone and debit card when I lose them. I don't know what I'd do without you!

Love,
Reida
