So I'm a little behind....
Dear Jim,
I will never ever admit to this crush. Never. You already think you are irresistable, why build that ego? I just have to tell you that you are a lot cuter when you aren't putting on the cocky bastard act. And the blonde in Interspecies Ethics you keep trying to impress? Part of me is kind of jealous of her.... How messed up is that? I know you don't think of me that way, and I have to admit it bothers me sometimes, but I do consider myself lucky to be your friend. So, I'll just keep rolling my eyes while you hit on anything in a skirt (except for me....) and we'll just keep things the same as they've always been. It seems to work for us.

Dear Mama,
After all this time I don't know why I feel obligated to respond to you. I suppose I owe you since you did trouble yourself to give birth to me, but that's really all you troubled yourself to do. So in answer to your question, no. I will not send you credits and I will not let you stay with me. I live in a dorm anyway. At Starfleet Academy. Yes, that's right, I actually made something of myself despite of you. I don't need you and the drama you bring into my life. Please don't bother me again. I'm better off without you.
Your Daughter,
Amara
Dear Father,
I don't know you. I've never met you and I wouldn't know it if you passed me in the streets. For years I wondered about you. I know I look a lot like my mother, but are you in there too somewhere? I know it would be easy enough to find out who you are, but I'm afraid to. It's nice to have this imaginary perfect person as my father. Probably a lot nicer than the reality. So for now, I think I'll just keep you a mystery. Some things are better left undiscovered.
Your Daughter,
Amara
Dear Karan,
I'm sorry I couldn't help you. And I'm sorry you couldn't help yourself. You were my big brother and I loved you. When we were little I idolized you, then you disappeared. I'd never cried as much as I cried the day Mama said you weren't coming home. When I found you again I was so excited, though I was disappointed when I discovered you were just like our mother. I hate to say I told you so, but I warned you, though it doesn't make it hurt any less. I miss you. I think I always will.
Your Little Sister,
Mari
Dear Dreams,
Will you knock it off and leave me alone? I need some sleep!

Dear Guy Who Chews With his Mouth Open,
Didn't your mother teach you any manners? Close your mouth! Especially if you're going to smile at me and use a bad pick-up line. After seeing what your nachos look like while eating you don't have a chance in Hell. Please don't even try it until you learn how to eat like a gentleman and not like a cow.
Grossed Out,

Dear Tarik,
I haven't seen you since we were six, but I do remember you promising to marry me when we were big. I just wanted to let you know that the marriage is definitely off. I do wonder whatever happened to you and the old neighborhood boys. You were the smartest one of the old gang. I hope you got to go to school and make something of yourself. If not, I hope you're happy, and not dead or something. I wish you the best of luck. Considering all the plans we made as kids, I think you really are dodging a bullet here. That would have been an expensive wedding.
Wishing you all the best,
Mari
