Dear family members that forgot my kid’s birthday

Dear family members that forgot my kid’s birthday

Yeah, I’m talking to you, sisters of mine. Also you, BFF who is the godmother of my only child. Remember her? Your niece who turned 7 yesterday? The one NONE OF YOU COULD BE BOTHERED TO CALL and wish a happy birthday to? I mean, I don’t expect any of you to have your act together enough to actually send her a card in time for her birthday or anything, but really, you can’t pick up the phone and make a 30 second phone call? She calls EACH AND EVERY ONE of her cousins – your kids – and YOU as well *on* your birthdays and sings Happy Birthday to you all. Especially since I spoke to each of you the DAY BEFORE her birthday and one of the things we chatted about was how it was her birthday and the crazy menu she picked out for her birthday dinner. Even if you *had* forgotten, that should’ve served as adequate reminder.

I suppose there’s no point in taking my siblings-in-law to task, since they never have ever remembered to send birthday greetings to their only niece in the entire time she’s been alive. I’m so glad you enjoy the calls she makes to you for your birthdays, adults in your thirties, and that you can’t be bothered to ever think of reciprocating for the child’s birthday.

Oh, and bonus freaking points to the grandmother who called my kid up drunk and then forgot who you were calling, thereby making for a really awkward conversation with your only grandchild. Nothing says “special happy birthday” like getting a call from drunken grandma.

Thanks for making my kid sad on her birthday. I really, really appreciate it, you thoughtless, selfish, lazy bunch of inconsiderate and pitiful excuses for family.

I’ve never felt for anyone like I have with you. Honestly I’ve had a crush on you since the first time we talked on the internet. Silly, I know. You wouldn’t believe how happy I was when I was told that you liked me. During summer when I would wake up to texts from you and fall asleep to texts from you was pretty great too. I like you so much it’s terrible. I’m sorry for always canceling our plans we would make over the summer, I wish I did hang out with you more over that summer. I honestly wish I had the guts to talk to you during my freshmen year, everyday after math i’d see you and I wish I could talk, but I couldn’t. You’ve made me realize how shy of a person I can be and how nervous I can be. I never thought someone could have that effect on me like you have. When we finally did hang out and I talked to you in person for the first time, I knew I really had strong feelings for you. When we stopped talking over summer, I hated it.

You didn’t talk to me and I felt that you lost interest in me and was upset with me for canceling once again, But I was ill that day. Those last few weeks of summer I thought about you nonstop and toward the end it stopped being nonstop, but I still thought about you. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think about you. I just wonder and think about you and how you’re doing and what you’re up to, If you’re thinking about me. Anyways at the beginning of this school year, I thought I didn’t like you anymore, but I was wrong. I saw you and all my feelings for you came back. I’m glad that you still liked me too. That day I went up to you in key club and said , “hi” and you didn’t seem to care and just left. Well I felt really bad that day until you texted me saying how nice it was to see me. You have some power that can make me extremely sad or extremely happy. I don’t know why. When I asked you in the coffee shop if you still liked me, and you said yes.

Letting go

Letting go

Dear soon to be ex husband,

I was not happy with you but it still hurts to be rejected for someone 10 years younger than us, a child. I feel like a hypocrite since I am in love with my best friend and have been mutually and secretly without even admitting it to ourselves for years. I do not want you back but I miss who you used to be years ago sometimes. I found someone who does not judge me constantly and accepts me for who I am, someone who the chemistry is enough to destroy worlds with. I don’t know what the future holds because I am so jaded and feel like they all take without giving in the end. I am simply going to enjoy this and try not to repeat my mistakes in the past of letting myself be taken for granted.

I hope that you find happiness too. I do want to be friends but please allow me space first because I am angry at your negligence and how you tried to deny me happiness to make me first wife and play the bread to blondie Mc Teenager sandwich.

I have someone who would walk through fire for me, the one who has been there when you weren’t consistently, my angel. I want love not games. I hope my heart is not too damaged for that thanks to your cheap disguise and fucked up lies.

Love, your friend,

Dear angel eyes,

It is amazing and strange how we ended up together. I am very happy. I have fears that I will be taken for granted again, but I am glad that we can be honest with each other about everything and accept each others faults. It is nice to be with someone not phony. I hope that we learn what we need to from each other but I’ve learned not to count on things lasting. I simply hope. I hope that you learn to see yourself the way that I see you as well and treat yourself right, as well as me. I hope you would really walk through fire for me though I’d never ask that. Also, the sex is the best ever in my life.

Love,

your skittish love

Dear The Ex’s Ex,

You win. You got exactly what you wanted. I hope the two of you are very happy together. I lost my best friend and the love of my life because of you. I hope you really, really appreciate him, especially since he is still bowing to your every whim two years after YOU broke up with him.

Dear Ex-Boyfriend #2

Why do you have to be so gorgeous? It’s making it really hard to get over you. I miss you.
