The harsh reality of life is that we will come to an end of our time on earth. There was a time when the most common cause of death was the flu. But our society has advanced far beyond that point... that we have had man walk the moon. However, in two thousand and seventeen, cancer is still at a rapidly fast pace taking countless lives. Many which that are young. Vast majority of people have been touched by cancer and when one person in the family has cancer, the family fights with them. This letter is to my loved one and the millions of others who are now at rest from their battle, from me and you.
To my dearest loved one, cancer is a horrific disease that doesn’t pick and choose you by deliberate but rather doesn’t discriminate and it could have been any one of us. It is a type of...

Dear dad,
It's been almost two years since you left us behind. But there was not a single day passed when you was not remembered. I still remember the last time we were together went for shopping. You was so happy that day. Saw you proudly talking about me with people around you.
Years back when one day I fainted and not able to walk, you had picked me up and walked to the home through whole market. You had cried when you left me in the boarding school for first time, you was hiding your tears.
I always found you very strict, but when today people praise me for what I am, I know it is your discipline which has made me such a person. You made me so strong that I can handle every situation of the life. But still I wanted you to be with me. Today when I took over every responsibility...

Bear with us. It's not that we don't want to give love and receive love in return. It's more that we're afraid to give someone the power to break our hearts into a million pieces.
When you are a child of divorce love and relationships mean something totally different than your peers. We've seen how every "I Love You" can turn in the blink of an eye into "I Hate You" and relationships torn apart.
It's difficult for us to use those 3 little words because we know what they can turn into and we have seen it first hand. We understand the full weight of those words and it may take us a long time to say them to you. When we do though, trust that we mean it. We wouldn't be saying it to you if we didn't know in every fiber of our being that we are truly, madly in love with you.
We try to...

Dear Depression,
There is no way to clearly explain you. You suck the joy out of my life, the inspiration from my every whim, my aspiration to chase my dreams. I try to hide you, but you're very loud and like to make yourself known. I try to ignore you, but you're much more persistent than I am. I try to overcome you, but you're stronger. Somehow, even in my happiest moments, you're there, waiting for a moment to pounce and steal my joy.
I can't begin to explain how many chances I've missed, how many people I've lost, and how much I've changed because of you. I'm tired of being alone, I'm sick of not doing what makes me happy, and I'm done with feeling like I hit a dead end no matter what direction I take.
How is it that I can give the best advice, but can't follow it myself? How...

I am writing this letter to Cemille P. Parker and anyone she has given my mobile number; starting with area code(610). If I did not personally give you my mobile phone number, please do not call me. Time and again my mother has given - and continues to give - people my phone number. She will indiscriminately pass my phone number on to others. There is a long, detailed history behind my request. Out of respect for me, please do not call me if my mother ever gives you my number. Thank you.

Mom and Dad,
I'm not sure if those names really fit you guys anymore. For me, a mom and a dad have always been people who love unconditionally, people who see past your flaws, people who accept you for what you truly are, no matter what that may be. I was raised in a suburban two parent household, I never went to sleep hungry or without a "Goodnight, I love you". Now, sitting in the bathtub crying after a conversation with you, I don't see the mom and dad who showered me with praise and love after even the smallest of accomplishments anymore. I see the people, the strangers, who from the comfort of their bed just told me they didn't love me anymore.
There is a backstory of course, no parent would take back their love for no reason. Right now, I am home for the final days of my...

Dear Little Sister,
You’re 18 now, no longer a baby. That’s weird, it makes me feel old, and I don’t like it.
I woke up this morning thinking about you and how you’ve grown up when I wasn’t looking. You’ll be a woman soon, and though you don’t see it, in many ways you already are one. We’re very different, you and I.
But there are some things I’ve learned, from surviving my young adult years that I want to share with you. So, in the spirit of unsolicited sisterly advice, here’s what I want you to know as you head into the metamorphosis stage of growing up.
On Your Beauty:
Society is ugly. According to them you will never be thin enough, toned enough, pretty enough, or perfect enough. The truth? YOU ARE ENOUGH. Right now, exactly as you are. Your beautiful curves, your...

{I'm just not happy}
I'm sorry
I'm binging like crazy
Sleepless nights
Are almost every night
I understand you care
But when you yell at me for
Simple
Dumb
Things
It hurts
{Because you don't understand}
What I'm going through
Or what I've been through
You might think you do
But you don't know my life
And my story
{what you don't know,}
You don't know that I was sexually abused for
A few years
Ages about 9-10
That girls house I used to go over to
Her brother
That's just graduating high school this year
I believe.
The stuff he did to me was wrong
But I still went over there
Even tho I had a choice
But I still don't understand
Why
I did this to myself
I could've left
Or
Stopped it
But once
I realized that it was wrong
I left

I was 12. I was crying mum I felt so bad. I didn't mean to cut so deep fuck. You know it still fucks me up you just fucking left me at the hospital alone. to live with my father and step mum. I was so numb for so long, i forced myself to keep you out of my mind. I forced myself to smile every day I didn't want to get out of bed but I didn't complain. Then what? Just as I accepted my step-mum as perhaps my new mother - she fucking leaves me too. She leaves my dad, she takes my sister my step brother and again I'm shoved away. I still think I'm the problem. The worst part is I don't want to say I'm not to blame because I know I fucking lie to myself to cope. I am the problem. I managed to drI've away my dads love, his daughter practically his son too. He lost his house because of me but the...
