Dear You,
For being a terribly logical person, you're prone to some ridiculously illogical decisions. This is not helping your case against the, "All women are completely irrational," stereotype. Not at all.

Dear You,
You're the first real friend I've made since Africa. You're number ten. This is not to say I have not had other friends, but all the rest have been friendships of convenience. There are only ten I'd really like to keep, and you're the only one located anywhere near me. While at school, at least.
I've managed to see seven of the other ten, this break. Of the other two, one is in Maryland and the other is... Addressed in the above Dear You. And you're in Bismark, texting me constantly.
All in all, a good break.

Dear you,
Oh, well. I suppose you're a good best friend to keep around, too.

Dear You,
Thank you. I needed that.

Dear You,
I can never decide if it is okay to say hello to you, or not. Its not like we talk much, even when I do say hi.. but you seem like such a nice person, with amazing writing skills. It took me months to be able to tell you that. Oh, well.

Dear You,
I have to fight so hard to beat cancer, and you giant piles of stupid want to PAY SOMEONE to fricking GIVE IT TO YOU???????????? Don't you realize how much cigarettes cost? Between the six of you, all smoking a pack a day, you could keep yourselves out of debt, if you would just give up that cancer you love to inflict upon yourselves. And you wonder why I only called once a week, when I was gone... I was glad to be gone!

Dear you,
I love you. I'm glad that you've been turning into a best friend, because you show promise of being as good as my other two best friends--and they've lasted for ages. You're the most amazing boy I've ever met, and the amount of adoration that's going on and the urge to hug you that constantly comes up is kind of ridiculous.
<3 you.

Dear You,
I never understood you in high school and I don't really understand you now either. All I know is that it seems like I'm always the one who has to contact you, and if you really don't value my friendship enough to call me back, then I'm not going to stress about it. You are off my list of friends I will call when I come home for breaks, so that narrows the list down to one. Sometimes I feel like a loser, but then I remember that my ever-so-popular-at-home older brother hates college and has no friends there, while I have at least three groups of very close friends, and a roommate that I have so much in common with. I'll survive, I won't live here for very much longer anyway. I am glad I didn't realize how much I didn't like living here until I went away to college.

Dear You,
I'm on to you. I can see the wool, just not what's underneath it. You're hiding something, selectively saying things that won't bother me or bring up anything in my mind, and leaving out anything that you think would bother me. I notice when you ignore part of what I say and respond only to the part that you can respond "appropriately" to.
Why are you calling me now, after 9 months of not hearing a word? Why did it take you 3 days to return my phone call (which was returning your first that I missed, earlier in the evening)? Why do you suddenly think that you can call me up out of the blue, invite me to drive all the way down there to hang out with you and whomever else you're with, and expect me to actually do that? Why didn't you answer me when I asked who you were with?
I know this isn't just you. I know that the reason you took 3 days to call me is because you don't have the nerve (or perhaps desire) to call me on your own. I know that it's either liquid courage, or someone's talking you in to it. I do think it's both, but what do I know?
Do you even remember why we stopped talking? Do you have any idea why I was pissed? You think you can call me 9 months later and I'll forget all that and happily come right back?
I don't know what you're up to, if you miss me and want me back all of a sudden, or if Ryan's talking you into it, or what; but I know you're up to something and I don't like it.

Dear You,
I love you, and I recognize that you are going through some rough stuff, but it really doesn't help anyone that any time anyone complains about anything, you have to top them. They're having a bad day? Yours is worse. Their classes suck? Yours suck more. You do not have a monopoly on misery.

Don't worry so much. It freaks me out and makes me worry-- about the things that you're worrying about and about you in general.

Dear you,
You're right, I do know I love you, and I'm sorry I acted like a passive-aggressive, avoidant jerk today. You really didn't mean to hurt me, and I'm overreacting, and when you realized it you tried to apologize and talk to me and I completely blew you off and I'm really sorry. But you're right. This prideful, arrogant, avoidant jerk really does love you and respect you and care about your opinion, which is probably why she overreacted.
I'm sorry. Really.

Dear You,
Depression does not suit you.
I'm always impressed with your ability to smile, despite life having dealt you a ridiculously fragile -- though beautiful; it's true, even if you'll never admit to it -- body. That's just a give in, for you. You're in the emergency room every other week, and all you have to say about it is, "So?"
Because of that, it always catches me off guard the way you react to the opinions of others. Why can't you just say, "So?" to them, as well? Yes, this most recent event was a bit of a blow, but you shouldn't feel guilty about it. It's not your fault, you shouldn't blame yourself for it.
And you take it as a bad thing that you don't have a lot of friends. You may not have many friends, but the ones you have are amazing. Except for Devin, but we've been over that. An-
You know what the worst thing is? You refuse to believe that other people care about you. And there I can see how Tasha's actions are hurting you so much. One of the very, very few people you really, really trusted left you out in the cold.
...
Dammit.

Dear yous,
I'm constantly amazed by how you value people according to how they look and according to some mistakes they make, and NOT according to who they really are.
I'm also amazed by the fact that you actually manage to talk about someone behind their backs, 3 seconds after they passed by you. That's a pretty amazing skill.
I hope, in that matter, that you have a pretty good opinion of me.. [/cynicism] or perhaps, it's better the opposite way.

I want closure. I've wanted it for months. I want the truth with less self-belittlement. I want to know why you decided to stop talking to me. When I needed someone the most, I lost everyone. I want to know how it was so easy for you to just stop caring. When I put the most care into another that I ever had before, you tore it away from me. I want to know what you think of what I write. I know what I used to write hurt you, but it was the only way I got a response from you. I want to know why it was impossible for you to say thanks. I didn't send them to ellicit a response, I sent them to be a good(read: better than I had been) friend. I want to know if you ever really cared about me or if you were just being kind and lying. I really did care about you; I still do. I want to know how you are capable of ignoring everything and continuing on with your life. I've never been this messed up over someone else before.
Please, PLEASE, P L E A S E give me what I want. I don't care what ANY of the answers are, I just want the f****** truth. If you did care for me, fine -- tell me that. If you never did, also fine, tell me that. Don't lie to save me. Don't lie to save you. Deceptions and lies f****** ruin lives. I believe the reason this has been so hard on me is because I don't know what is and isn't a lie. You've said you did care for me, but don't any longer. Good. Continue with this. Answer all my questions; answer all the follow up questions. I don't care how you do it, but PLEASE do this for me. If not for me then do it on the basis that you could help someone out of a bad place. If I could I would get down on my knees and BEG to you I would. You've said you were sorry (and then that you weren't; and then that you were sorry again), so finish it. Tell me why you were sorry. Be brutally honest. I just want the truth.
If you can't do this for me then I may as well just lay down and die because this world just isn't worth putting up with anymore.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Dear you,
AGHHH. I hate how you made me feel tonight. How you argued with every single thing I said. I just wanted to blurt out the fact that I got 100% on the last exam, and haven't gotten below a 94% in that class. I am GOOD at histology. And yet you made me feel like I was dumb, like I didn't know anything, like everything I told you was wrong. Well, it wasn't. When you go back and read your notes, I hope you feel dumb.
All because she couldn't come, the "smart" person in our little study group. She is smart, but I'll have you know am doing better than her. And yet you treated me like I knew nothing.
I. am. not. stupid.
