Dear ...,
I just got home from work and as I sit here at 11.15pm waiting for you to start your midnight crashing, I decided to tell the world about your noise and selfishness through an open letter on the internet, because I am tired of suffering you and your immature and childish selfishness.
Living here with your noise and your lack of responsibility for your noise and a very shallow and pathetic attempt to say it is all in my head has been living hell for me, I wish you would grow up a bit and take responsibility for yourself, I think of you as a whiney child and can't see you as an adult while you behave like this. So maybe I should structure this in a way that a child can understand.
Noise that disturbs other people is wrong, it is abuse and it is harassment....

An Open Letter to My Friends Who Support Gender Discrimination
If you do not feel genders should be treated equally you are deranged. What people fail to realize is that women are capable of the same responsibilities as males. Gender discrimination puts a great toll on the world. Men and women are considered equal but not the same. If we have equal value shouldn’t we all be given equal treatment?
While women have achieved major progress with given rights and laws, females are still limited. Why is it that majority of economical and political powers are males? Women are lacking of rights, one being inequality in the workplace. Men have better financial opportunities and women are given partial opportunities. Traditional society embraces the fact that men are supposed to acquire a...

Dear U,
You made many promises and you broke every single one of them. Willfully, remorselessly, shamelessly.
First you had to make sure I became financially dependent on you.
You were very persuasive. And I trusted you. Looking back at my naive self from 5 years ago, I feel sad and at the same time I would like to shake my younger self into an awareness I didn’t yet have. I had known you for many years before we became a couple. I had no reason, not to trust you. But I trusted you for all the wrong reasons. I trusted your words, expected your actions to naturally follow your words. Trusted that you would never want to hurt me. Hadn’t yet experienced the chasm between words and actions or the abyss of abuse. Does it matter now? Does it make it any easier to forgive myself that I...

Amidst all the inspiring thoughts about women empowerment, equality and independence of women I almost forgot to look at another perspective of it. Not only me but many of us obliterate to do that. I think that it is not men or the society who are responsible for non-equality of women but women themselves are fettered for that. The reason for this spasmodic thought is a conversation that I recently had with my friends. All of us are settled down and we have our jobs and now looking forward to get married.
While parleying with one another our discussion dragged towards marriage and this is when the actual huddling started. Everyone was piping down their thoughts about ideal marriage and all that stuff. To the surprise of all of us, one of our friends Shivani said that she wants to marry...

Dear Every Lovely Woman,
It is sad to start this letter with a bad news. A few days ago, in presidential election, the female candidate Hillary Clinton -probably the most influential and clever professional female politician of today- was defeated. I am not telling you about my political view. I am not a US citizen so I don’t care about the president of United States, seriously. However, we should remember this day to be written in history of women’s rights even if you are a white woman, a black woman, an Asian woman, a Hispanic woman, or even any race of man.
We all know that women’s life was much worse in the past, and gender gap is still remaining these days. This is the reason why women have fought for equality and suffrage for a long time, and we believed the world has been...

Welcome to America, the land of the free. The land of running water. The land of wildflowers. The land of puppies. The land of Walmart. The land of bathtubs. The land of Massage Envy. The land of Instagram. The land in which yellow school busses drive children to get an education every morning. The land where hospitals are open to anyone. The land where you can choose what color you'd like your hair to be. The land where you can choose to vote or not. The land where a female is not only allowed to vote, but to campaign for the highest office.
Welcome to America. Home of billboards. Home of the Dallas Cowboys. Home of the Golden State Warriors. Home to some of the world's most famous institutions, such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton and Notre Dame.

Growing up we are often not aware of the things that effect us the most. Especially when those things have been missing out of your life, and that's all you've ever known.
To those who have grown up without a father ... You're not crazy or confused, you're not weak or behind. You are strong, you are independent and you have to work a little harder at understanding life.
At times it was almost as if you didn't know the difference of not having a father. Except the times when you would see your friends hug their dads or hear them talk about how they couldn't live without them. You would swallow the hurt, make a joke, or ignore the feeling and eventually forget it even exists.
What you didn't realize is how not having a father made growing up ten times harder. You have a lot to learn on...

I hate you….but through that hate I want to thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being so lost in your own world and spiteful that you didn’t see what you had. Because of you I now know what it is to truly love someone and have someone love me with everything they have in them. Yes, it has been a hard battle trying to fix the pieces you broke. Listening when he is upset. Reassuring him not everyone is like you. Every day it gets better. You don’t see the changes that everyone else sees. How much happier everyone is without you around. How you aren’t even mentioned. I feel bad for you. You are a pathetic, selfish and immature person. The only good thing that came from you are the children.
You make yourself out to be a victim to the world. A mother who has been alienated...

Dear, whoever reads this,
As a child, I grew up with divorced parents.
While my relationship with my mum was one of the best I could have asked for, the same could not have been said about my dad. Through my childhood years I was reminded whatever I did, was never good enough for him, until it got to a point I would subconsciously itch my own hands until they would bleed as I was so nervous to go see him. My mum and her new husband moved around a lot but always provided a safe loving home to come home to. Somehow this was never enough to quiet the negative self-talk that he had caused to swirl round my head.
By the time I was in my last year of high school, the father-daughter relationship between us had gone from rocky, to almost inexistent. I used his gloating remarks that were...

An Open Letter to Whoever Cares the Least,
“Whoever cares the least, wins” you would always tell me. When I would be crying over a heartbreak, you’d say this as if it’s the answer to all life problems. As if love and relationships are just a game. That the outcome to every situation in life, there will be a winner and loser.
“Whoever cares the least, wins”
You say these words to me as if you cared for me. But really, you were setting up the game. The Who Could Care the Least Game.
How you played: You are only kind to me when it was most convenient for you or wanted something in return. On a good day, you would greet me with a smile, open the door for me, and may even compliment me. In front of others, you would boast how proud you were of me. You would offer me your drinks,...
