To the little sister I got to choose,
I’m writing this to you because there are a few things I need you to know. I am writing this to you because I want to see all of your dreams come true and because I want to see you succeed and change the world one day, just as I know you can. I am writing this to you because I want you to be able to understand the things I had to learn on my own.
I want you to know and understand that life isn’t always easy. Things will get hard. You are going to be overwhelmed. At times you may even feel lost. I’m here to tell you that I believe in you. Step back and take a breath; I know you will make it through to better days. I know this because I know you are stronger than anything this life has to challenge you with. I know this because you have a God...

An open letter to the best and most amazing friend I lost,
My mind is full of words now, words that are mixed up and I don't even know where to start. Maybe, to be able for me to express myself I have to start with where we left.
Lost. That's what I am right at this moment of my life. When I lost the most amazing friend I had, I also lost myself. Well, if I think about it maybe I have always been lost. Maybe I was already lost in the beginning that's why I lost you. I guess, if I'd like to find out I need to look back at what was.
I was browsing through the pages of my high school year book when I thought "who was I back then before I became someone that even my bestfriend would have a reason to remove me from her life". My classmates described me as someone who is "undeniably a...

Dear Alisha,
Happy birthday to you
I am so happy that you are going to be completing the 18th year of your life. We have known each other for the longest time and I know what you must feeling like to take a step forward to a new phase of your life.
This is the time we have been waiting for…. Completing school and heading for college. For all these years, we have dreamt of going to college together and this is the year when our dream is going to come true. I really pray to God to that we both stay together even in college because there are many more things to do, many more things to explore and more life to live.
You are the closest friend I have. You are that one person with whom I can sit and talk to for the longest time. We don’t need to go to a restaurant or engage in...

Dear ex bestfriend,
I wanted to start off by saying, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there when I needed you the most... for the thin stuff. You know, how friends will say 'Thank you for being there through thick and thin' well, you nailed the thin part. Unfortunately, when life became unbearable, you were nowhere to be found.
I asked you for help, and you brushed it off. I told you I have anxiety and depression, you said 'it'll be okay'. I understand being busy, but is that really an excuse to not even check in? I've been thinking of the words to say to you, that wouldn't hurt your feelings, or make you feel like a bad person. That has never been my end goal. Unfortunately, I still care about your feelings and how you're doing.
That being said, you'...

I don't know what would I have done without you. The time we spent, the conversations that we had, the nameless bond that we share, I bet; no one can name this thing.
We are the craziest and funniest people on this earth, I guess so. I am so so waiting for our next adventure. Even if we never had any before. But sooner or later, we are gonna be those hot chicks on the beach. And I am dying for that.
You consider me..you make me feel worthy and you make me feel myself. I am so grateful that God chose me to be your best friend.
Te Amo ;-)

We had a huge fall out in the end. But it didn't end how most friendships end. Ours ended with a fight. It wasn't a small fight or a big fight for a matter of fact. It was just a fight. I don't really remember what it was about or why it even happened. But all I know is that the last few text messages we sent that day, we said things we'd forever regret. One thing that was said is you called me a complete bitch. I mean I am and always will be but when it cames towards you and the people I love the most I wasn't.
I'm sorry I got caught up with Frontier. I'm sorry I'm trying to keep Olmsted in my past. But you didn't help either. You didn't ask how I was enjoying Frontier. You didn't ask if I met some cute boys. You didn't ask how big of an adjustment it was. You didn't ask how I was...

Dear D,
We were friend for a short time. Two years to be precise. Iconsidered you to be one of my best friends, in fact. You took me as is, wild past, crazy present, and fiery redhead's disposition. You never told me I was stupid, or ugly, or had a habit of falling in love with the worst man possible. In short, you were a wonderful friend.
We navigated the akward per friendship waters of UST and angst smoothly, and settled into what I thought was an adult relationship. You laughed at my family drama, and provided an
excellent sounding board for new adventures. I commiserated with...

So let me start this off by saying, I have never once felt the need to blast you out on social media! No matter what i thought of you, as i am entitled to my own opinion, as you are too. But i feel i had no right to put my opinions on to others. Some of the things i saw really had me questioning myself as a friend, but over time i saw this pattern, the need you had to play others off against one another was unreal. But that is on you and it was my choice to stay and play the high school games along with you.
I stayed, because the reality was the friendship i through was worth all the mind games, even on nights where came home feeling like the most undervalued person known to man kind, but in my head i felt that was my own insecurities i had to deal with.
Over time i started to see the...

To my special someone,
You've probably forgotten about me. It's been a year or two since we last saw each other. We parted happily. With a smile. But not knowing it was the last time we were going to be together or even see each other. Did you ever think about that time? Do you still think about it? I did, a couple of times. But this is this. We're never going to see each other again. I guess that's how I see it.
It was just so magical, wasn't it? You always made me smile. You're not funny but you always made me laugh. You always had that temper, but you managed to stay calm around me. How did you do it? Why were you so different in my eyes than in everybody else's? You always mattered to me. And I hope I mattered to you just as much.
I wonder how you've been doing since we last...

I can remember when it all started, the moment I realized our relationship would never be the same. You walked into the room as if I had never existed. No warning signs, no red flags, you just walked right past me and without saying a single word told me everything you wanted me to know. I was hurt, confused, angry. Where did that come from? When did these feelings of bitterness and hatred toward me start? What had I done? It was in that moment that I felt the first stab of the knife. Someone who was supposed to love me did not, or at least didn’t act like it.
Over the years it would happen again at gatherings, parties and weddings. And I never really knew when it would strike. Sometimes, when it was just us, you were yourself. But when a group was together, that’s when I...
