I saw this idea on livejournal and thought it a good idea, so I thought I'd start a version here. What you're supposed to do is post letters that you want to send, but for whatever reason, cannot send or won't send.

Dear __________,

You are really a different person than you used to be. All we ever talk about is school. It's either your friends from school, or books for school, or your research group, or this or that...I just can't stand it. There's more to life than school, which is something that I just don't think you understand. On that note, stop complaining. If you're annoyed about something like not having air conditioning at THE HOUSING YOU CHOSE for the summer, maybe you should have considered a different arrangement. Although then it would have cost you more, and then I'd be hearing about that too...

You've just changed...and not in a good way.

Dear Drew,

It's time for you to stop being mad at me and Nesha. It was over a week ago; it's time to get over it. You looked very pretty with pigtails, and you know deep down in your heart that that lipstick looked good on you; even Señora Feldscher thought so. Even your mom thought so. Besides, if you didn't want to look like a girl, you shouldn't have been sleeping in class. It wasn't that big of a deal; stop being so sensative and get over it! Be happy we didn't get out the Sharpies like we did with Sticks.

Dear Lorna,

What happened to you? You used to have such big dreams & hopes. You used to be so different. We used to be so close. You changed. Everything changed. You decided to 'upgrade' to a better set of friends. You tried to be something that you weren't, just to fit in. Now, you've had a preganancy scare & you've gotten married at the age of 18. What happened to your fashion designing dream? What happened to collge? What happened to YOU? It's like you've lost yourself & you're just being his wife. You say he loves you but how can be when he doesn't even really know who you are? I still love you & I'm still here to talk if you ever want to.

Dear Mom,

Why exactly am I not allowed to see my brother? Am I really that horrible that you won't even let me talk to him?

You're kinda killing me,

Triss

My Obsession,

You numb me and suddenly the world is no more. Running in circles we travel back to where we started and laugh at the endless chattering of nothing.

You fufill me with emptiness and intrigue me with your bite. You keep me company but from a distance. Who are you? Who are we? Why is this?

Fading out now

Triss

Dear Self,

I wish you wheren't so afflicted by whatever it is that causes you to be so useless, self-centered, and rude. I wish you knew who you where so that you could get all of this over with and start living something that resembles a life.

To the writers of my Legal Research textbook,

You guys need to pick better cases for us to work on. These are just ridiculous and they are getting on my nerves.

Dear sunshine,

I'm so glad you came back you make me so cheerful!

Gotta love blue sky

Dear Dejuan,

What kind of fuckery is this? I can't believe you played yourself like this.

Dear IKEA,

I love you. Thank you for helping me feel good about myself by creating a bookcase I could assemble in less than an hour. :]

Tay,

What happened to us? We used to be SO close, since the playpen, literally ... now I haven't really talked to you in months, almost a year. What happened to us just sitting on your porch every single day, or chillin' on the block, or up at Leonhard, or spending hours walking around the entire neighborhood just to see if we could? When school got out last year, that's when we really started not talking; you were right across the street from me the whole time, yet we didn't so much as call each other. What's that about? When we were younger, I'd pick up the phone to call you and you'd already be on the line from calling me first. Last semester we had business management together, and there was only one seat in between us, yet we barely said 'hi'. What was that about? We used to talk to each other so much we could finish each others' sentances. I mean... I know people grow apart as they got older, but we've been saying since the first grade we'd never let that shit happen to us. Remember that time in elementary school when we spent the whole day planning out our lives? Who we'd marry, when we'd have our babies, where we'd live... I'm starting to think it's not gonna work out the way we planned. We never had an argument last year or any other reason to stop talking, so why did we? You and Britt stayed close, me and Britt stayed close, why didn't you and me? Some of the new people you're hanging out with don't like me, but remember in third grade when we said that if anything like that ever happened, we wouldn't let it affect our friendship? "How come, we don't even talk no more? And you don't even call no more? We don't barely keep in touch at all! And I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more! And I heard it through the grapevine we even beefin' now, after all the years we been down? Ain't no way no how this bullshit can be true; we family, ain't a damn thing changed, unless it's you. [...] I see the devil in your grin since the ghetto, we been friends forever real intelligence, that's forever till the end!" I'm holding on to the thing strands that are still connecting us, and I know I should probably let go, but I can't... not yet; there's still hope.

I still got love for you,
<3 Shellz.

Dear BS and NSJ,
There is a link at the top of the boards that takes you to a survey about YN. Click it and voice your opinion so that the YN staff can hear what you have to say.

Dear FML,

Great point. You are a winner.

Thanks,
Notsojoey

Dear FG,

Your post didn't make any sense.

-FML

Dear BushSupporter and NotSoJoey,
I advise you to take the YN survey to give your complaints to people off of the boards that will see them.

-FG4

I give warnings first because people tend to get upset when threads are closed or posts vanish. They work the vast majority of the time, and instruction to give warnings is, in fact, a key part of our training as moderators.

I'm not going to argue about my moderating decisions. If you disagree with them, I encourage you to notify Lisa.


Note from YNLissa:

Warnings are an appropriate action when moderating posts. Portion of this thread removed however has been removed, if there are any questions contact me.

Dear Alex:

I wish you would have never left me.

Dear luck,

Thanks for helping me get over the past. The odds of that thing happening were literally 1 to 3000 000 000 and yet it did, and I can now look back and be happy I've dealt with it instead of blocking it out. I'm a much better person for it. Also it was wonderful while it lasted, and was worth all the pain.

Canvas.
