Today
Today is the first day in a long time that I have not been able to get out the awful mood that I have been in. From the moment I have woken up, I think that I have hit every emotional spectrum possible. And yes, I have a reason for experiencing these emotions (no, it’s not because I’m a woman and I’m overly emotional — although that probably didn’t help anything), but...

Lately, I haven’t been feeling like myself. Maybe it’s because I’ve been sick this past week, but I’ve been looking at things more negatively and feel like my sometimes annoyingly optimistic view on the world has taken a complete 180 (well, maybe not complete, but pretty darn close). Sometimes, I forget about why I am so lucky, and the things that make my life amazing, and...

Letter to the person that gave you your favorite...
This is next to impossible to say - because to pick a favourite memory is unbelievably difficult. There are SO MANY that come to mind, with so many people who have made the moments in my life that really count. But there is a memory that’s really sticking out to me right now. So I guess I’ll pick this one.
Mademoiselle Sarah (Sarebear),
Remember when we spent that beautiful summer...

Letter to the last person you kissed.
Dear ——,
I miss you, a lot. And I hate that it’s been so long since we have actually talked. You are such an amazing human being, and you are one of the few people in this world that I feel completely comfortable around, in every way. That’s kind of amazing, considering we have only known each other for such a short period of time. You have made me see life in a new...
Letter to someone you want to give a second chance...
Dear ——,
It has been a really really long time. I’m trying to think about the last time that we talked and I honestly can’t remember. When was the last time we even spent time together? 3 years? It’s crazy how someone can go from being one of your best friends to a complete stranger. And, I mean, that is really what you are to me … I know nothing about your...
Letter to someone you judged by their first...
Dear —-,
I try really really hard not to act on my judgments of people, because I find that I am often wrong. I mean, everyone makes judgments, but I think what differs people is how they choose to act on those judgments. And when I first met you, I thought that you were one of those divas who thought that they were better than everyone else. BUT I made a conscious decision NOT to act on...
Letter to the one that broke your heart the...
Dear —-,
Funnily enough, I guess you would be the person that broke my heart the hardest. But…thing is, my heart isn’t broken. You didn’t break it by any means actually. Because you are still an important person in my life. You are still someone that I love and care about. Did our relationship change? Yes. It has changed a lot. But we both know why it did, and that it had...
Letter to someone that pesters your mind—good or...
Dear ——,
Hey you. Have I told you lately that you are one of the most awesome human beings I know? Well, you are. You also happen to be one of my favourite people to spend time with. I don’t think I could ever get sick of spending time with you. You make me laugh (interestingly enough, unlike anyone else that I know) and I just can’t help but smile when I’m around...
Day 17 — Someone from your childhood.
Dear ——-,
When I look back on being a kid, a lot of my memories surround you. At the time, your friendship meant the world to me, and I don’t think I every really told you that (I guess being that young means you don’t appreciate a person to the extent that you do once you’ve lived a little.) You were my first real guy friend. I mean, I played with boys at recess and...

Day 16 — Someone that’s not in your state/country
Dear Cheesecake Elephant,
I miss you. It’s only been a couple weeks since I’ve seen you and I already hate how far away we are from each other.
When I think about Shakespeare School three summers ago, I would have never expected that YOU would have been the person that I stayed in touch with the most…let alone become one of my best friends…I truly believe that everything...
Day 15 — The person you miss the most
Dear ——-,
I miss you. A lot. I knew I was going to miss you from the moment I got here. I mean, from the moment I heard the news, I missed you. It’s just…different. Not bad different - because I do love it here, and nothing can change that. But it just feels like something is missing - and I know that something is you.
You were such a vital part of my life here, and now...
Letter to someone you’ve drifted away from.
Hi ———-,
I hope you’re doing well - the last time we bumped into each other, you didn’t really look all that great, which leads me to believe that you aren’t taking care of yourself and that the people in your life are not being supportive. And for that, I am sorry. I am sorry that we have lost touch. For the most part, it’s my fault and because of that,...
Letter to someone you wish could forgive you.
Dear ——-,
I’m not actually sure of what I’ve done. Or if you are even really mad at me. But your actions seem to be saying that you want nothing to do with me right now and to be honest, I really don’t understand why. It makes me so sad that we have become strangers lately. At least if I knew of an actual reason why, I would feel better, but I don’t. You...

Letter to the person you hate most.
Dear asshole,
I pride myself on rarely using the word “hate” when referring to another person. In my opinion, the word “hate” is an extremely strong word - too strong to actually call another human being. Yes, there are people in this world that I am not fond of, or that I have a strong dislike for. However, because of your actions and your idiocy and cruelty towards me,...
Letter to someone I don't talk to as much I'd like...
Hey ——-,
Remember when we were best friends? I mean, I like to think we still are. I know I still consider you one of my best friends, so I would hope you feel the same way.
I know this summer has been crazy for the both of us, especially you, and I completely understand your situation. It’s just that more often than not, I find that actions speak louder than words and, more...
Letter to someone you wish you could meet.
[So I’m skipping letter number eight - I don’t have internet friends…weird.]
Dear Grandma,
I never thought that it was possibly to miss someone that you’ve never met. But I do. I miss you every single day. Selfishly, I try and live my life not thinking about you because every time I do, I get so unbelievably upset and angry. But every once in a while, something will make...
Letter number seven.
Hi.
I feel like it’s been a while since we have actually talked. So Hi. How are you? I hope you are happy and that your life is good because that’s really all I want for you.
I feel like things have been weird lately. But maybe that’s okay. Maybe this change is what we needed for both of us.
Even though you know this, I want you to know how thankful I am that you are in my...
Letter to a stranger...
Dear woman from the doctor’s office,
How do you do it? You had three kids, crying, making a fuss, and having people that you don’t even know come up to you and tell you what a bad job you are doing with your kids - simply because they aren’t the quietest kids in the world. And yet, you have the biggest smile on your face and you respond to them in the most genuine, and...
Letter to my dreams...
Dear Dreams,
Hi. Question. Why must you make my life so difficult? Sometimes, I worry that I dream too big. And it’s all your fault. But, then again, I guess it’s better to dream big then to not dream at all.
Do me a favour though? How about start making me dream about things that are actually achievable? Or at least semi achievable?
I’m a go getter. I go after what I want....
Letter #4
Dear Andrew,
You are the only person in this world that I can actually say that I have known for their ENTIRE life. From the moment you were born, I have been there beside you - through the ups and the downs and the good and the bad. That’s actually such a cool thought…Anyways, I have once again distracted myself…obviously haha…
You have been a great sidekick and, more...

Letter to my parents
Dear Mom and Dad,
I honestly don’t know how I got so lucky to have the BEST parents in the entire world. So many people I know barely get along with their parents or they just have bad relationships with them, and it makes me sad to hear that because I can’t imagine not having a good relationship with either of you. I consider both of you not only parents, but incredibly good friends....
Letter to my crush...?
Dear —-,
If I’m going to actually do this, then I guess I have to be honest. And … honestly … I don’t really have a crush. I mean I guess it depends how you define the word “crush”. If you are talking about someone who you look at and go “oh hey, you are super cute and you can make me laugh” then I guess that would mean that I have a crush on...
Letter to my best friend(s)
I am extremely lucky because I can honestly say that I have a number of friends that I consider best friends. I am so lucky that I have such a great group of people in my life that I know will always be here to support me, love me and stand by me. So thank you - to all of you. You know who you are.
When I think of the word best friend, a few people come to mind. However, there are two people in...
