Love Letters

[Chanel_no5]

Dear self,

You're cool. You're smart. And you did well today.

Cheers!

Dear Chanel,

You totally hit the nail on the head with this one. I totally grinned from ear to ear when I read that. Good for you! Keep up that kind of thinking, because it's 100% accurate.

Love,

Me

Awww... thank you! That was so sweet of you.

Dear Universe,

Thank you for today. It has been a sunny and warm spring day, I've had nice food to eat, I've been alone, sure, but at peace. No anxiety, no anger, depression or feeling of upset. It's been a fine little day. Please let it be this way. I don't ask for much, this feeling of not being haunted is enough. Thank you for a lovely, "no big deal"-day.

Dear Sexy Girlfriends,

Ummm...have I mentioned recently that I love you? Oh, because I do. I am so lucky to have such smart, sexy, sassy, beautiful, funny, kind, happy-making women in my life. You gave me the best weekend EVER, and I can't wait to have many more. Thanks for tearing up the city with me.

By the way, that night on the terrace? That has been burned into my memory. Oh...and what happened before the terrace.

You have changed my life for the better. I love you! xoxoxo

Dear new bike,

You rock. When I ride you, I fly up and over the hills. I'm a Cooper's hawk, swooping and darting around the curves of the pavement, narrowly avoiding slow masters walking dogs who'd love to chase but could never catch me. I'm a blue blaze zipping past at warp speed, and everyone's envious.

Thank you for giving me the capacity to feel free and leave myself behind for a little while.

Your owner.

[March Hare]

Dear Spring,

Maybe it's me, but you've never looked and smelled more lovely and sweet and wonderful. Thank you for making me so happy and light-hearted!

Love and enjoyings,

Maru

[PaperThings]

Dear Out-of-School Friends,

I don't think you know how much I love you. You guys' running to catch up with the bus I'm on, so you can swarm the doors and fight over who gets to hug me first? Kind of the best thing in the world, because you make me feel special in the way other people don't.

You're my favorite people on this planet, absolutely, and I love you to death. But since we don't say this sort of thing to each other in person, I hope you somehow telepathically know how much I care about you.

Love,

PThings

[Nicole]

J,

We've always had kind of a like-dislike relationship, haven't we. I've never loved you, and I don't think I've ever hated you, so we'll say like-dislike. And if I'm honest with myself, I've definitely spent more time disliking you, and I'm sure the feeling has been mutual. You have been the source of my stress and my anger on numerous occasions, and you have been the subject of some of my most vengeful fantasies and nasty thoughts.

But you surprised me yesterday, and you surprised me today. And it was really nice. And you know, we won't keep in contact, and I really doubt that we could ever be friends - we're too similar, really, and that's why we clash - but today I like you very much. And I don't know if one of us or both of us changed somehow, or if it was just that the stars were aligned or some crazy shit, but I'm really grateful to you. Unbeknownst to you (and to me, come to think of it), you gave me exactly what I needed.

Ain't that some shit.

Sincerely,

Nicole

Dear Lovelies,

We texted back and forth this morning about porn. I just want you to know that I'm sitting in Starbucks, smiling like an idiot, and having naughty thoughts. I love you so much...you make me happy in a way that others cannot. Thank you for changing my world, for real. I am so grateful for you.

Love,

Me

[March Hare]

Pulchrissime,

Please come home soon. I have missed your mouth for so long, and I yearn to taste it again.

Love to the power of infinite,

your girl

Dear body,

Thank you for yet another spring without developing pollen allergies. Keep that up. You rock.

Dear wonderful person,

you are, wonderful that is, even if you still don't believe it.

Really.

Love,

Oh, and just because I can...

[Just Older]

Dear male friend from high school:

I understand now - and I have for a few years now (since you've come out ) - why it would never have worked out between the two of us. I was so infatuated with you, and you cooly pushed me away for some of our other friends. You and your boyfriend seem to have so much fun. So many interesting things happen that you post on facebook, and I love creeping your profile.

I see now that you've just proposed to your boyfriend. Congratulations!

Sending my best wishes.

Me

Dearest Mr. D -

Gods know I need a little passion and shameless drama in my life.

You still make my blood pound and my heart race.

Never change.

Dear Y -

Same goes for you.

Dear Spring -

YESSSSSSSS.

Forever yours,

[Sneesee]

Dear Girlfriends,

I am sitting here, thinking about you right now. I miss you, love you, and wish we could all be together right now, participating in some sort of debauchery.

All my love, and other stuff,

Me

Dear George,

What can I say? You know exactly what I need, when I need it, and then you give it to me. I love it when you are naughty like you were last night. Here's hoping for more of it tonight. Because, no matter what, you make me smile.

Love always,

Sylvia

[murphy dee]

Dear Writer's Block,

That was so cool how you went away just now. Y'know what, you've been so good to me, you should take the rest of the year off, my treat.

Love,

Dear therapist,

I can't believe you offered to help out like that. It's so sweet of you. Thanks a lot.

Love,

Me

[Sneesee]

Dear Manny and Adam,

You two have no idea how much you entertained me and made me smile and laugh last night! You boys are FUNNY!! Adam with your fake sneezing while Kurt was trying to talk to you, and Manny thinking you saw me advertising on Craig's List seeking other women. HA HA HA! And both of your faces were priceless when I said I didn't need to go on Craig's List to find women, I already have smokin' women.

Thanks for making a crappy night so enjoyable!!

I can't wait to work with you both again!

Love,

SS Girl

Dear B,

Even though I'm still sad, thank you so much for talking to me, and explaining some things last night. It meant a lot to me that you told me what was going on in your head, whether I like it or not. And I do understand, but that doesn't mean I have to like it, either. So, no matter what, you always have a very special place in my heart. I know things didn't go the way they probably should have with us. But I do hope one day our friendship will return, or hopefully get close to, the way it was.

But thanks for giving me something, instead of just blowing me off like others have done. It does help. Perhaps the fact that I won't be seeing much of you, or any of you at all actually, in the next couple of weeks will be a good thing.

I do still care very much, and I think you do, too, which is why you explained everything. So thank you.

Love,

D

[Chanel_no5]

You Poor Allergic Thing,

Thank you for not staying at home suffering quietly. I love watching those symptoms. I love your hayfever. I love the fact that you keep your windows open despite the freshly cut grass right under it. Love, love, love. Constant wet sniffling, congested speak, constant nose-rubbing and bloodshot eyes can be just as hot as sneezing. Oh God, I love your allergies.

Dear Amazing Person,

I love you for so many reasons. Today I love you because you let me ramble on and on about the amazingly hot guy I met last night. You also let me ramble about the less hot, but still cute guy who ignored me all night. You don't judge me for having Limoncello for lunch, or for lying to my co-workers so I can spend the day doing self-centered things instead of covering someone's shift. I know if you could, you'd drop everything to get a snow cone with me. And you want me to see the hot guy again on Saturday night! You're so bad. I love it! If you get anymore perfect, I might explode.

I really really love you.

Kisses,

Me

Dear knitting friends,

You guys are awesome I had a fantastic time at dinner last night, I love hanging out with you guys, and I LOVE that we have so much more than knitting in common, and we enjoy discussing and exploring the areas we DON'T have in common. Oh, and the lady who brought the baby? *SQUEE* BABY!!!!! She was ADORABLE, and thank you for letting me cuddle her and play with her a bit I especially love that the coffee shop staff have to kick us out at closing time, and we still generally stand outside gabbing for a good 20 minutes until we're all shivering LOL Can't wait to hang out with you guys again next Friday!

Dear cousins,

Your encouragement and kind words mean a lot to me, and I'm so lucky to have all five of you! You are all awesome people, and I'm so looking forward to seeing four of you tomorrow!

Dear auntie,

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everything. I won't say you've been a mother to me, because that's not exactly where our relationship has progressed, but you're definitely the big sister/guiding hand I never had growing up I'm so happy we've become closer now that I'm an adult, and I don't know what I'd do without you.

Dear kids,

Thanks for putting up with me even when I'm bitchy and mean, and thank you for loving me no matter what I do. You're both so smart, funny and creative, and I am blessed to be your mother.

Dear boss,

I am so absolutely flabbergasted that you're this impressed with my work. It makes me feel so important and wanted that you're going out of your way to justify keeping me on past the end of my contract, and it's a lot of fun to work with you! Here's hoping we get another year or two to work together

Much love,

~ me

Dear Nicole,

That text message was sexy as hell, and just what I needed after teaching a class to the most frustrating bunch of idiots in the entire state of Texas. I feel so special that you thought of me! I feel tingly too. Thank you for putting a huge, shit eating grin on my face. I needed that!

Forever yours (seriously, I'm yours. Take me!),

Jessi

[Nicole]

Dear Jessi,

THAT was what I needed to see today. (Your Love Letter, though I wish I was referring to your rack or your lady bits.) I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful, funny, smart, charming, and unfairly sexy girlfriend. If you felt special that I thought of you, feel special every day...not an hour passes that you don't derail my train of thought.

Ghost stories in the middle of the night on a sofa bed in NYC rule. I love you so hard. And I will take you, by the way. Forever!

Love,

Nicole

Dear Sneesee,

Just so you know, that all goes for you too. Okay, so maybe the ghost stories in the middle of the night thing doesn't apply, but you know what else rules besides that? My hand on your ass, your hand on mine, the way you taste, and how fucking flagrantly you rock my pants. I love you so hard too, you know.

Love,

Nicole

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My girlfriends are the hottest. I swear, their sexiness brings a tear to my eye.

[Sneesee]

Dear Nicole,

You rock my pants for so many different reasons, I can't even keep track!! Thank you for everything, for meeting us in MYC, and for all of our naughty adventures. Thank you for being one of my sexy lover girlfriends! And for every text you send, you also britghen my day, for real.

Until we can get together for more debauchery, much love!

Sneesee

Dear VFP,

Oh where to being and end! I don't even know. I am so totally glad we became so close. Glad we can share so much, and that you get me, without even having to ask. Oh, and you are teh smex!

Now, I think I forgot about tacos...

I miss you, and can't wait to see you again! Hubby ordered me that gift card for American Airlines, so maybe soon, huh????

Love you, my other sexy lover!

Sneesee

Dear Mr. VFP,

You won't see this, but your sexy wife will! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your advice on my computer issue. Even though the advice didn't actually fix it, it got me to explore this computer's settings enough to finally get it back online! I am happily sitting at my desk, with the windows open, using my computer, and enjoying myself. Also, since I don't have to rush out and buy a new computer, maybe I can save money, come down to take advantage of see you and VFP, and have Taco Bell, and maybe watch Moonlighting.

XOXOXO

Sneesee

Dear U -

You have the warmest hugs I've ever felt. I feel like I have so much to learn from you. Thank you for letting me in, little by little.

I really hope we'll get to dance together someday.

With budding love,

L.
