Breakup Letter to Pain (January 23, 2019)

-
Dear You,

The amount of pain you have caused me over the last few years is hard to look back on. I want to forget but I can’t. I can’t forget when I’m being reminded everyday, over and over again. I also can’t forgive you. I can’t forgive you for the things I’ve missed because of you. You made it physically impossible for me to live my life. You held me captive during the things I cared about most until I couldn’t show my face again in fear that they wouldn’t even recognize me after all this time being away. I fought you long and hard; seldom giving in and never giving up. But I’m done. I am over the pain and I have come to the realization that I don’t need you. So I’m letting you go. We’re through. I will not miss you and I think it’s best if you never contact me again. So goodbye. I can’t say I wish you the best because that would be a lie.

Worst,
A fed up sick girl

When You Get to be My Age (May 24, 2019)

-
When you get to be my age you realize that everything happens for a reason. The person walking down the road towards you, the person sitting on the bus next to you, the terrible fall you had at age ten that put you in a cast; everything has a purpose and everything is meant to be. There are no mistakes or mishaps. God put you, your neighbor, and even their dog in this world for a reason. Appreciate everything and take joy in everything. When you wake up to birds chirping, listen. When the sun is setting over the horizon, watch. When it is nine pm but there is ice cream that you want, eat it. Don’t wait for a special occasion; make today, this minute, a special occasion. Make today the day you start living. Don’t wait for the rain to stop, or for your kids to move away. Don’t wait for a good time, because when you get to be my age, you realize that the time is up and you didn’t live.

Make You Proud (June 30, 2019)

-
I wonder if you would be proud of me,  if you saw me now.   Would your eyes light up when I came to visit?  Would you give me the biggest, best hug in the whole world? They say I look just like you.  I talk like you, too.  They say, “you remind me so much of your Auntie Jane.” “She would be so proud of the person you have become.”  “You were her little girl, and now you’re just like her.” I am your legacy.  I am your smile.  I am your love.  I am your generosity.  I am everything you taught me, but I can never be you.  Your shoes are impossible to fill.  When you left, a part of all of us  left with you.   A part that can never be replaced or mended.  A missing piece that is lost forever.  I love when people say I am just like you, but they are wrong.  No one can be just like you.  You were one of a kind,  and everyone knew...

Think of the Trees (July 24, 2019)

-
I wonder have you ever thought about a tree? the roots that travel deep into the dirt holding secrets  the trunk that stands firm keeping it safe when the wind tries to blow it down the branches and leaves that sway free  unbothered making it beautiful  making it unique making it special  have you ever thought about a tree? the hundreds of years of pain peace  persistence  everything it’s overcoming everything it overcame you might have thought about a tree but I wonder have you ever thought about me?
