Before you embark on your journey down the isle, I wanted to express this blessing upon you.
I hope you never experience fear from his temper. I hope you never catch him lying regarding who he is on the phone with. I hope you never hear his disgusted sigh regarding your tears or pain. I hope you never experience his aggressive drunk advances that cause you to fell uncomfortable for days after. I hope you never witness the exile of another friend because of his irritation with them. I hope you never see him in a fight, or witness the aftermath of him bloodied after. I hope you never have to waste tears wondering where he is, or why he wont respond to your calls when he should be next to you in bed. I hope you never become convinced to keep separate bank accounts, so he can lie about not...
Broken Hearts
Dear Bear,
Two years of my life has been spent in an ever fluctuating relationship that I thought was worth all the sacrifice in the world. Worth pain and discomfort. Worth loss and lack of security. Worth hard work and emotional strife. It was worth it because I had a best friend and lasting love that made me a better version of myself. It made me happy, it made me proud, and it made me appreciate love in all its forms.
And now that love is no longer something worth fighting for.
You are an amazing person when you are your true self. You are kind, funny, caring, and very smart. You work hard, and you love deeply. You take care of me and make me feel like the luckiest woman alive. You give great advice. You speak well. You read. You are my dream companion when you are...

It's been exactly 47 days since I last saw you. Since I heard you tell me you love me. Since I felt that hug I love oh so much. Its weird to think, 47 days ago we were fine. We argued, yes, but you were my best friend. 47 days ago we were sitting in my room, eating meatloaf and playing games on my laptop. We were laughing, for once we weren't arguing. For once since we broke up we were fine. Its weird how things can change, one minute you love me, the next minute you don't want to speak to me. I know so much about you and all that information is now a distant pointless memory.
I remember everything, I remember every night I saw you since the first night at Walmart. I should be over you. I should be over all the pointless arguments that I started. I should be over everything, but for...

Dear dad,
I'm writing this to you, not to hurt you, but to heal me. I'm writing this to put all my feelings out on the table and then close the book forever. I sit here wondering how in the world am I 36 years old and you and the subject of you still bothers me as much as it does. How in the world do you have such an impact on my feelings and emotions and my day to day life when I obviously have no impact on yours. How is this possible?? Why at this age in my life do I still long for the father/daughter moments my friends have always had and still continue to have?? Why do I miss something I never really had?? The hurt and anger that go along with just those questions is almost unbearable, but you know what hurts the most? The part that hurts the most is growing up your entire life...

It all started out on that August day way back three years ago. I fell in love with your blue eyes and well back then short blonde hair. It wasnt til later I started talking to you about four months later. We clicked better then two attracted magnets. I instantly fell in love with the way your smile made your upper lip curl in and your smile was more tall then wide which just made it so cute. We instantly knew something was between us but the 100 miles that separated us kept us apart due to the young age of 12. I know I was young but I thought you were the one. Over the course of a couple months we became close talking about how we would date and all this romantic stuff. Then... we stopped talking for around 6 months due to you being grounded for getting in a fight. After six months...

We met at the fragile age of 16. I remember our first conversation like it was yesterday. You were like every other boy, but there was a glimpse of something great in you I couldn't help but want to know. We started off rocky, which should of pulled me away from you to begin with. Yet, you always made your way back into my life. As we grew older my feelings got stronger. I remember when I knew for sure I was in love with you. Staring into your eyes at my Senior Prom singing a familiar song in your ear, I never thought anything could ever pull us apart. After I graduated, spending time together got less and less as did your feelings. I knew things were changing, but I couldn't let you go without a fight. After a little break up I moved closer to you thinking it would help our relationship...

Dear, Panda-Wife
It wasn’t that long ago that I was frightened by the terrifying medical issues you were facing, it wasn’t that long ago where I felt I needed to do something about it to protect you from unnecessary pain and suffering. It wasn’t that long ago you were getting out of the bathroom, and I proposed to you right after you went potty. You were my best-friend so I knew you would appreciate the irony of my timing.
It seems as if forever has gone and gone since that over cast cold day outside the court house while we had our families with us, on the day we said (our) "I do's) It wasn’t that long ago I had considered myself to be the most fortunate man in the world I had achieved all my aspirations, goals, and dreams. I was complete and my life was bliss.
We had our up’s we...

Read until the end.
I always wonder why things never work out as planned. Maybe I'll never know but I was so sure that things between us would work out. We started dating in April and we instantly clicked that night at Walmart, you automatically became my best friend. The more we talked, I told you everything no matter what. I instantly felt comfortable and safe around you. We would take random Walmart trips and we would go to the toy section and we would just joke around, it made me like you so much more than you could imagine. Just being with you made me happy. We hung out all the time and it even got to the point of me meeting your mom, even though I didn't want to, I did. Just to make you happy.
I met your mom at the beauty pageant, she never really liked me because I was so young...

Before you I always thought missing someone was the worst pain a person could possibly feel. But after you left I realized missing someone hurts but knowing you're not being missed by someone you can barely breathe without kills you.
Do you want to know what you did by leaving me? I can no longer enter a relationship with innocence. I can no longer hope for love and feel those butterflies. Instead I'll enter cautiously, and kill myself worrying when I'll be left. I can't enjoy, I can't laugh, I cant be delicate. I cant love at all. You've taught me to worry, and not to trust. You've taught me a new perspective of the world. You've changed everything. You've changed me. I can never be the same delightful girl I once was. I can no longer be loveable and I guess after all these months I...

Dear Depression,
You suck. You make me feel hollow, broken, lost and hopeless—but you are a part of me. You have been with me as long as I can remember. For a very long time I didn’t understand why I always felt pitiful, sad and inferior. I felt something was wrong with me, but it wasn’t me, it was you.
You slip into peoples’ minds and twist them to feel dark, heavy and wrong. Sometimes you are gradual, like a steady dripping of water that eventually turns into an overflowing pool of despair. Other times you blow through like a tornado, destroying all the good in your path.
When I finally understood what you were I was embarrassed to ask for help. People that have never truly felt your weight don’t understand the impact you have. They told me to think positive, to exercise and eat...
