This is important to me. I will not hide it behind an lj cut. I apologize for that discourtesy.
Write to 10 people in your life.. but don't address the name.
(1) When I think back to how much you meant to me back then, it hurts to think that I let him come between our friendship. I wish I had been there for you when times got rough, and I hope that things only look better from here up.
(2) I wish things could have been different. You made me reconsider the possibility of directions my future relationships might go, and I am no longer afraid of commitment. You respect both me and yourself, and I believe that is why I have such enormous respect for you. I regret nothing and look forward to a rich friendship.
(3) I remember a playmate and a friend. Although we don't communicate much anymore, when we do talk I get the feeling of home again. Your devotion to family and friends is one of your greatest virtues, and I'm glad to see that you're adjusted so well to your new life.
(4) One of the few people I want to tell everything to. You have always been the best of friends, and though it might seem that I'm the taker of the friendship, I hope you'll know that I love you devotedly and I honestly wish you a life of supreme happiness and fulfilllment... because you deserve it.
(5) You are one of the easiest people in the world to get along with. Though sometimes I think you would say anything to get on a person's good side, your enthusiasm and warmth will always make my memory of southern California a happy one.
(6) I wonder where it could have gone... I don't regret it either. You are a talented and sharp-witted friend (albeit single-minded on a certain hot topic!) with whom chatting is a treat that I throroughly enjoy. Good luck with everything.
(7) Who are you? Where are you? How will I find you? How long must I wait before we meet? ... Do you even exist? If you don't... what then? Of course you do. This life will have been empty if I die before I find you.
(8) I want to know why it is I despise you so much, or rather think so lowly of you, yet can't help but love you all the same. Was it that one year during Christmastime? I think it probably has to do with the fact that you don't respect me as an individual who can make her own choices and who needs to live her own life. Perhaps I am a black sheep, but surely you can relate. Despite all that, you have taught me just about everything I should know even if i don't take your advice.
(9) You should have lived a better life, but I couldn't give it to you. I wish I could have read your mind; maybe we could have helped you sooner. I'm sorry I wasn't there a lot of the time, and that even when I was there I neglected you. Wherever you are right now, I miss you and I hope your last moments were happy.
(10) I don't know how to begin. I can't help but feel as if I did something cruel to you, but I did what had to be done. I've done everything I can to try to ease your unhappiness, but I need to be able to move on, and I can't do that if you're going to keep on the way you have been. I'm glad I can say this without asking you to release me from a promise I made... at least you can have that comfort.
