Dear Life

“Those with an evil heart seem

to have a talent for destroying anything

beautiful which is about to bloom.”

- Cynthia Rylant

Dear Someone,

Come back, whoever you are, I’m sorry for what I’ve done, just please come back, I’m sorry. Come home, I miss you, I don’t know who you are, but please, just come back, I won’t hurt you any more, I promise. I miss you so much, I miss having you around, you made everything easier and more fun. Can you at least come back for a little while? If you tell me what I’ve done I promise you I’ll fix it, no matter what it is, I really, really miss you. You don’t even have to stay for long, just for a little while, or at least come back to tell me who you are, just a name will do. You’ve helped me so much and I can’t stand to be without you any longer. Without you I feel so small now, please, just come back.

Your Friend,

Jack C.

Dear Jack,

I truly wish that I could come back and I’m trying as hard as I can to get there as fast as I can. You didn’t do anything wrong, I swear, in fact, you did so many things right, it was just that a lot of the great things you tried to do didn’t go well. Don’t worry I’ll be back eventually it is just going to take some time, just don’t get discouraged, everyone has days like you’re having, you just have to power through. If it helps, you can always just pretend that I’m right there next to you, it might make things easier for the both of us. I know I’ve helped you out before and I absolutely loved doing it, but, you need to learn how to be able to function without me around sometimes. I really do love to help you so don’t feel like it is a burden on me and try and push me away, I really do care about you, don’t doubt for a second that I’m not trying to reach you as soon as possible. I miss you so much.

Your Friend,

Confidence

P.S. I’ve been feeling pretty small without you too.

Dear Someone,

Please can you just leave me alone, I’m sick of having you around all the time. Don’t get me wrong you’re a blast to have around when I need you, but, can you give me a break for a bit, people are really starting to get annoyed by you. Also, when I do need you around, can you tone it down a bit, you’re can be a lot to take sometimes and not just for me, I mean seriously take it down a notch or two. By no means go away forever, I need you around sometimes but, if you’re with me constantly 24/7 you really start to get on my nerves. I really do like you, you’re a cool guy, but geez, calm down, you punched a guy square in the face, he deserved it, but still. You’re just a little too unpredictable to have around all the time. I really do care about you veut  you’ve gotta calm down and stay away for a while.

Your Pal,

Jack

Dear Jack,

F off! I don’t have to listen to you, you’re to much of an idiot to realize how much you need us. Cut the crap, dipwad, and quit being a baby. So what if we’re a little more bombastic and loud than others, how does it really affect you? We can’t possibly be that much of an interference. By the way, that guy we punched, like you said, he completely and totally deserved it, at least we were justified in our actions. Without us you would be the most boring person in the world, can you not see that we’re trying to help you out. Get over it you big bubble blowing baby, just face it, you need us around, we’re the coolest guys you know. You need us around to have fun and you know it. If you would just remove your head from your a*s for two minutes you would see how much we’re actually helping you. We’re not going to beg you to let us stay but, seriously, you’d be lost without us, your life would be absolutely no fun, just let us stick around for a little while longer, you’ll see what we mean.

Sincerely,

Alcohol and Anger

Dear Someone,

Hi, listen you have to go, I can’t take it any more, it’s just too much to take. I promise that I won’t kick you out forever and you can come back whenever I need you just please leave me alone for a little bit. I miss being able to sleep, talk to my friends normally, go to parties, and perform without you breathing down my neck the entire time. You’re making everything nearly impossible. It’s not that I don’t need you around, it’s that I don’t need you around all the time, it’s just a lot to handle. Like I said, I need you around I really, really do but having you around all the time is really starting to get to me and you’re making me paranoid. Do you think that you could maybe just stay away for a little while? Not forever, I do still need you I swear, just for a little bit.

Sincerely,

Jack C.

Dear Jack,

I’m sorry but I cannot leave you, I’m here to protect you, don’t you see. I’m truly sorry but you need me to keep you safe. I care too much to leave you alone for too long. I’m truly sorry but you need me to keep you safe I care too much to leave you alone for too long. I hate to break it to you but I’m here to stay and I’m not planning on changing my mind anytime soon. Listen, honey, I’m not trying to make you upset but it’s okay to be paranoid , it helps keep you safe. As for the sleep, please, as long as you’re getting a little bit of sleep each night you’ll be fine, plus, the less time you spend sleeping, the less time you have for nightmares. I think that’s a fair trade. Also, your, so called, friends , I mean, they could betray you at any time and you know it. I’m just trying to keep you from getting hurt, I’ll always be here for you to make sure it stays that way. Don’t you realize that you need me around to survive, to keep you safe.

Your Pal,

Dear Someone,

Please, just go away. I hate you! Just let me go! I can’t handle you being here all the time any more it’s just too much to take. I can’t take you mentally abusing me any longer, I just can’t. You have a place in my life, you always have, and you always will, but, that place is not right next to me all the time. You’re starting to make me feel like I’m chained down, like I can’t move, and you’re also exhausting, I’m always tired because of you. Even  if I sleep well you still leave me exhausted. I just can’t take it any more, it’s just too much to handle. Please, just go away and stay away for a while, a long while. I hate you, I know I still need you around, but that still doesn’t change the fact that I hate you. I’m sick of you making me feel like I’m not good enough, like I’m drowning, and then making me fake like I’m perfectly fine when you know that I’m not. Please, just go, i don’t want you here any more.

Sincerely,

Jack C

Dear Jack,

You can’t just tell me that you ate me, that’s not fair. I swear I didn’t mean to make you hate

me , it’s just that you’re the only friend I have, the only friend I want. Please, don’t make me go, I care about you, I need you, and I know you need me. I truly don’t mean to abuse you or hurt you, that has never been my intention, I just wanted to help you, I swear. I don’t even want to imagine what my life would be like without you, I care about you so much, please, just let me stay. I’ve always remained loyal to you through everything, through every bad day, through every rejection, through every broken heart, can’t you see that I’m trying to help. Don’t make me leave, we both know that your life would be dim and dark without me there to comfort you and protect you. Please, just let me stay.

Sincerely Yours,

Sadness

Dear Someone,

Hi, I miss you. I know you don’t like the other people I’ve been talking to lately, I don’t like them either. I’ve been trying to get them to go away but they aren’t listening and I need your help. You were always good at keeping them away, I guess they’ve been getting stronger. I really, really miss wish that you would come back, you’ve been gone for so long, too long, we’ve got a lot to catch up on. I hope I haven’t done anything to upset you, if I have, please just tell me and I’ll fix it, I swear. I hate life without you around. I haven’t see you in months, even my friends miss you, they think you’re really fun. I promise that you are wanted and that you are missed. Please, just come home. I hope you get this in time. I miss you. See you soon… hopefully.

Your friend,

Jack C

Dear Jacky,

I miss you to. I’m really and truly trying to get back as soon as I can but, things just keep getting in my way. It’s nothing you’ve done I can promise you that. I miss your friends to, honestly, just stay around them as much as possible until I can find a way to get back to you, it’ll help us both, I promise. If those other people still won’t go even after you’ve told them to, you’re going to have to be more forceful with them. I know that this is easier said than done but, you have to at the very least try. It is not okay for you to have these people torturing you like this, they need to know that this is your life and they aren’t in charge of how you live it. Sorry I haven’t been of much assistance to you or written very much as I am quite busy.

Your Dearest Friend,

Happiness

Dear Friend,

Thank you so much. Thank you for easing the pain. Thank you for letting me breathe for the first time in months. Yo make me feel alive, more alive than I ever have before. I’m glad I’ve found you, I ever knew how much I needed you. Everywhere I looked I saw people saying that you helped but, I didn’t believe them, boy was I wrong. My friends keep saying that you’re bad for me, that you’re hurting me, and maybe they’re right, but, I don’t care. They don’t know what it’s like to be drowning and have someone save you. I wish I didn’t need you, or that I didn’t have to rely on you as much as I do, but, really I don’t care anymore. I just love being free.

Your Friend,

Jack C.

Dear Jack,

I don’t have much time to write so I have to make this quick. You are oh so very welcome, I’m so glad I could be of service. By the way, your friends, they could not be more wrong, I’m not hurting you, I’m helping you, the pain is merely part of it, a side effect if you will. Don’t listen to them. Don’t you forget that I’m only here to help you. Don’t you ever forget that.

Sincerely,

Your Razor
