Letters from C&H to the world!

Grindylow

So yes, as the idea formed from a post by Jackobyte, specifically this one, I think C&H should have a thread where you write a letter that you can't actually write in the real world/are afraid to, to people you know, people you love, people you hate, things you hate, anything really!

Format should be something like:

Dear _

Whatever you need to say

Sincerely,
Your username.

I dunno why, but it's so interesting to see! One of IHeartChemistry's posts drew me to a similar thread in another forum that someone had wrote about her and it was so nice, so it's just a way of getting stuff of your chest that you can't put in yaah or arggh.

Hopefully it'll take off, and hopefully it's ok with the mods.

Pigwidgeon

Hmm I think if we give this a few days to see how it goes. Although of it ends up exactly like the arrggghhh or the yaaahh threads just combined into one it would be a bit pointless.

But yeah I've no major issues with it.

Insect Overlord

I think there's something like it in tLL.

*checks*

There is! "Things you want to say to..." I'd be interested in seeing if something like it could work here.

Yeah! I got the idea from a post Iheartchemistry linked from there into C&H! It seems so cool and stuffs!

Midnight_EG

I wrote a very similar post during the week...I think it's a good idea

Luno

Dear C&H,

Start posting your letters in the thread or it'll be soon gone!

Love, M&S*

Lawliet

Dear M&S*

I can't cope with that kind of pressure!

Dear Lawliet

I understand you're under a lot of pressure, but I still feel like you need to man up and take action on the matter.

Dear Pigwidgeon

I love your name

It's somewhat working.. right.. right? Ok well like there's no serious things in here yet, but as Midnight showed there's potential for stuff like that!

Dear gay Turkish guy on our floor,

Please stop singing Adele in the shower. You're awful and everyone can hear you.

Thanks.

Dear creepy annoying lecturer,

Why would you tell us before reading week that our exam is on the 21st of November, then turn around this week and tell us it's next Monday and it's also worth 50% of our grade for the module. That's rather unfair. Thanks for that.

Dear Maria,

I love you more than you actually realise. So just go with it.

From Mark.

Dear S,

Why do you feel the need to express your "love" for your boyfriend of little over 2 months on Facebook, just like you did for your last 5 boyfriends. All in this year. Seriously, if you think that's love, how are you ever going to find REAL love, if everything is love to you?

Yupik.

Dear C&H,

The bants on this thread made me laugh, I like how this forum does that Don't ever change.

And a more proper one....

Dear a certain someone,

I have a bit of a thing for you I kinda hope something will happen with that, but I'm going to assume it won't.

Shauna

LoonyLovegood

Dear John,

Yes, I liked you. For all of last year. Then I gave up.

Finding out that you liked me, that you got a girlfriend to try get over me, and feel like an idiot because there's a rumour I'm gay?

I'm an idiot. I'm sorry.

From,
CTYIgirl

Indiego

Dear the person I'm writing this to... I only knew you for a little while, and now I probably wont ever see you again, yet I cant stop thinking about you even though I know its stupid to even think anything could ever happen, you live so far away. I just wish I could see you again, talking to you on facebook just isn't the same... Missing you.. Indiego

Dear people who constantly look down on me, You ridicule me because I'm smarter than you, and make me feel like im worthless, that doesn't really make sense now does it? We'll see who's laughing in the next few years... Lots of love, Indiego xoxoxoxoxo

Dear that person whos been on my mind for 5 years, We used to be so close, then we drifted apart, then we were close again, and now we barely talk. I miss you, even though theres no point in me even trying to get close to you because we're different people now, and theres not much I can do about that. Missing you, Indiego.

Dear Ex, Im sorry for what I did, and Im sorry I screwed it up when you gave me a second chance. Im sorry for being jealous that you moved on so quick, and Im sorry for not listening when you needed me the most, and Ive moved on now, but I wish we could still be friends... Sorry, Indiego...

Dear Mam and Dad, Why do you find it impossible to feel pride in anything I do? You push me and push me to do well in things, causing me such stress for stupid things, and then ask me why I didnt do better. No matter how well I do something I could always do better to you. When I told you I got 10As in the JC the first and only comment you made was why didnt I get the A in Irish, and that I should have worked harder. Do you realise this made me cry? When I should have been so happy? You always push me too far and theres nothing I can do about it. Now you've set a new goal for me, for the LC, and I know I'm just going to dissappoint you again. I feel like a puppet and Im not in control of my own life. Will you please just let me life my own life? Or at least just fake some pride to humor me? Love your only child.

Dear Younger Mark.

Grow a pair. Ask her out sooner, be happier longer >_>

Lovingly yours, future Mark.


Dear Ex.

Thinking back. I never really loved you. My friend said I just craved a realtionship after my first break up and I realised that's all you were good at. Comforting me. I'm an absolute díck. Sorry. The only good thing is you broke up with me. You'll never know this. So it's fine.

You know who I am.


Dear Parents.

Contrary to popular belief my Leaving Cert wasnt actually the end of my life. I have a job. I'm also taking part in a PLC. I'm sorting my shít out so I'd appreciate if you'd stop with your backseat driving.

From your "idiotic" son


Dear Boba Fett.

I wish you were real. I could totally be your bro. We could so hunt jedi and sith and all daaat shít.

Much love,
FettFanboi Mark.


This may sound un-serious but the next one is very serious.

Dear Phil,

Unfourtantly I never got to see you. My Dad absolutly loves Thin Lizzy, it rubbed off on me and now.. well I'm the same. You passed much before your time. So many songs left in you, so many more shows. I can only imagine what it would of been like to experience one of your gigs with my Dad. The Ultimate sense of Fatherly-Son-Lizzy bonding. I cant lie. Your music done many things for me, it was my "light in the dark" so to speak.
Stress= Lizzy.. Anger= Lizzy.. Any bad emotion= Lizzy. I got to see the band awhile ago, but my Dad says while it was fantastic, it just wasnt the same. We enjoyed it. Just not the same without you bro. If there is a heaven after I die, I'll be tracking you down along with my Dad to finally see you preform. BE PREPARED >_>

Much Love, and respect from just another crazy fan. Mark.

Colm!

ATTN: Colm!, 11th November 2010
FROM: Colm!, 12th November 2011

In the odd chance I've somehow sent a letter to the past, hello, Colm!. (if you are not Colm!, please find a way of making sure that he sees this)
I'm you, one year into the future. Life's been good to you and you've become more awesome. In fact, more-awesome you has found happiness, seriously. I'm going to mess with time though, just to see one mistake I made fixed.

1. You need to face some things alone.
I know you're about to make a decision that you think will mean the world to you. You might turn to your three best friends and you'll ask them each for advice, and they'll say different things, you'll pick one of their decisions and go with it. You'll later find out they're wrong.
For the love of future you, don't bother asking for help with the decision. Follow what you think is best. Take my other points with you.

2. Take courage.
The decision that "will mean the world to you" is actually pretty small. No matter what the hell you do, you're going to come out alright. So be afraid of nothing, and take on every challenge that faces you. You'll succeed in ways you've never dreamed of.

3. Be polite. Be honest.
Nothing comes up in the next year that's worth lying to anyone for. Tell the truth or say nothing. Know when to do each of those, but know it's never time to lie. You're going to get respect for sticking to the truth.

4. If defeated, move on.
Don't focus yourself on revenge on people who betray you. (It'll happen once or twice) Focus on living well, helping your friends and save yourself from the un-needed troubles. there'll come a time when you'll have far more important problems to deal with.
Also, for the love of future you, don't ever become pre-occupied with failure. Your life is about to fill itself with glorious opportunities. If you fail one, focus on winning more.

I can't say much in detail about some of the challenges you'll face. You're going to love where you're going, what you'll do, who you'll meet along the way. Your life is going to get so much better, but do me a favour. Take my advice and don't fail me.

Thanks,
Colm!

EDIT: PS. did you just invent time travel? dayum son

Dear friends,
You're quite horribly mistaken. I wish the truth was as simple as the one you're spreading, but the story is way more complicated than it seems. Hate to be so vague, but that's the way it is, I barely know myself where this lie came from.

Grindylow

Dear Nanny D.

I know I never got a chance to meet you, but I feel as if I know you from all the stories I hear. You were so excited to have another grandson, but you died. One month before I was born, you went. I wish I'd have had the pleasure to meet you, to hear your stories, and most of all to know you. I'm told we would have got along so brilliantly, and it's so upsetting that we never got the chance to.

Dear Ex

You were a selfish fool when we were together and a douchebag once we broke up. Im over feeling down because you havent kept up your side of the bargain when it comes to us being friends, since you dont want your stuff back theyr ready to be given away and Im ready to move on. I even have a little bit of a crush on someone... Your loss

Dear you,

I care more than you think, I hope you do too. Everything's messed up, but you make me happy.

Dear _____
Another morning spent thinking of you, another tear shed. These thoughts have got to stop, I don't know how much more I can take of this. You're departure was expected but it hurts me to know that my best wasn't good enough, nothing I could do would ever make you happy. You've changed a lot in the last year, you've grown to share your problems with the world, your health issues everything! There wasnt much reason to keep me around now that you've a whole new set of people.
I just wish you had the slightest bit of care for me, like you once did. Or so I thought.
Thanks for all the lies and broken promises they help to get me over you, but not quite as fast as I'd hope.

See you around,
M.

You've made me feel so bad about myself, literally from the moment we met.

Dear woman sitting next to me on the train yesterday

I put the armrest down as a clean division between your space and my space. Stop using it to put your elbow into my space. You keep touching my arm and in case all my increasingly awkward attempt to contort my arm away from you weren't a big enough hint let me spell it out: back off you're making me uncomfortable!

Dear B,

thank you for having faith in me and giving me a chance. It's because of you that I feel brave enough to make the tough choices coming up in the next little while. You're a very special person and I know that you're going to change the world someday, as if you haven't already done that in your own way. I think you're a lot more like me than I ever would've thought. I only hope that I don't let you down, and I promise to do my best not to. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to talking to you again.

-almostnever.

Dear C,

Don't be a fúcking idiot and ask why I'm broke. You borrowed €130 off me two weeks ago and know I only get paid monthly but you still haven't paid me back. You're the reason I'm broke and you've still been going out pretty much every night for the last two weeks when you owe pretty much everyone money. Cop the fúck on.

Pigwidgeon

Dear A,

You've no idea how much your support meant to me over the last year. You convinced me that I wasn't a failure, that I can do this. I know we hardly ever see each other but your positive attitude really rubs off on me and makes me see positivity in my darkest moments. I know I rarely take you up on your offer to listen when I'm down, but knowing its there if I want it really helps me. You're a truely wonderful, kind hearted person, don't ever change.

K

Aoifey!

Dear L,

Thank you for always being there for me, for being the one person I can trust with absolutely everything, the one person who has always understood me. No matter how down I am you always cheer me up and you always know when something's wrong. We made different friends, started fitting in with different groups, then went to different colleges, but we've stayed close through everything. Even when we haven't talked in weeks I always know you're there for me. It helps so much having someone who knows everything that's going on. And it's great having so many inside jokes we can have a whole conversation without anyone else understanding

Thank you

Aoifey!

Jackobyte

Dear S,

I worry about you. I know you've been suffering from depression, and it worries me that you don't talk about it. I'm not going to feel any better about it until you either show improvement or start to share your troubles. It don't even care if it's me or not, just as long as you know you're not alone. I've been told that there is no need to worry, that you wouldn't consider actually doing anything, that you are far too atheistic, but I'm not so sure that would make much of a difference. When I heard you got taken to hospital in the middle of the night last month, my first thought was that you had tried. That hour waiting for a reply from your dad was horrible, and even when I found out you were alright, my thoughts were would I get the same reply next time or would it be worse... Please, there is always a better way. I am always here to talk but I'm terrified that you will do something stupid first. Please, I don't think I could deal with losing you.

J.

LoonyLovegood

Dear mam and dad,

I'm sorry I don't want a career where I can make loads of money. Instead, I want to do something that involves me following my dreams. You forced me into putting law down for the UK. Even if I, by some miracle, get Cambridge, I won't be going. I'm going to be a nurse.

If this means you'll throw me out like you've threatened to oh so many times, so be it. I'm going to make myself happy for once. You think it's not prestigious, yet the course I want is more points than the law one you picked for me.

I'm done.

Dear drunken Saturday night customers,

Yes the prices are high I feel your pain but it's head office that sets them screaming abuse at me won't change them. No, there isn't a "right now" setting on the fryers, you either want it cooked or you don't, it's your choice. Yes love you're very beautiful but that doesn't change the fact you're an ignorant cow and the more you shout the more I'll ignore your order besides your not cueing at my till :rolleyes:. Sir, yes you the one directing abuse at my female colleagues and now directing it at Damien and I for defending her, please follow through on your threats, hit me, once. You fail to realise that I have sobriety on my side and that once you hit me our insurance will cover whatever I do to you. I'm free to remove you from the premises and hit you every step of the way out and I can make it a damn long walk for you.No we don't have any damn chicken I've been telling you for ten minutes sir it's all sold. Sound man ,throw your taco chip at the wall that's hilarious, there's nothing that I like more at 4 am on a Saturday night than scrubbing spiced meats and cheese off one half of the lobby. Of course we're open sir that's why the doors are locked and I'm sweeping the lobby That's right keep knocking on the door and I just might let you in. Just.a.few.more.times. Oh now you're kicking the door? that'll work even better.

Dear Jackobyte; October 1st, 2011.

Tonight you are going to decide to do something. It is going to seem like the best idea in the world at the time but for the love of God, stop and think about it for a few minutes first. Please, just stop, and think, and consider everything! Consider the damage you could do, or the potential consequences. You can't begin to understand how low the consequences of your actions will make you feel. You can't comprehend how shitty you will feel in the aftermath of it all. You can't perceive how much this will hurt everyone involved, not just you. Your best friends will inevitably be caught in the middle of the whole situation as well. So please, I beg you, stop and think. When you come to this decision, wait 5 minutes, think about it, and then make the right choice. Now isn't the time to do this, no matter what anyone else says.

Your Future Self,
Jack.

To the sweetest person I've ever known,

I've just been on Skype to you for 4 hours because we are both too lazy and cold to go visit each other. I love how we are exactly the same. I've never met someone who was so like me. I've been completely different since I've known you, you make me so happy. Last night you saw me at my worst, I was crazy, something nobody has ever seen and you took it in your stride. You made me feel so much better about everything. You are such a good person even if you don't think it and although you are beautiful on the outside (keep up the soccer bbz, rawr) I think you are a hundred times better on the inside. Our time together is ticking away and this makes me the saddest girl in the universe because I know it has to come to an end but we've changed each other and I wouldn't want anything to have happened differently. I love you!

Your babyyyyyyyyyyy.

Dear Laptop Charger,

You've been good to me for the past three years, please last until Christmas when I can lay thee to thy final rest.

Dear; me at this moment in time,

Please take some time to think about how stupid you are being about everything that's happened lately, stop being so irrational and realize that there are some things that simply aren't going to happen, no matter how much you wish and fantasize about them happening. You need to keep your feet on the ground and stop wishing for things to happen, focus on the things that are possible and move on from the things that aren't. Don't spend your days imagining 'what if' scenarios and get out there and make things change, even if you don't think it's possible.

Love from a concerned you.

Dear people who stared at me like I was crazy earlier,

Dont act like you've never just gone crazy and acted like a 5 year old in public. Blowing bubbles is fun. So is spinning around in circles.

Dear complete and utter arsehóle,

Why do I even try to talk to you? You are possibly the rudest, most arrogant specimen I have ever had the bad fortune to encounter.

I thought there was hope for you. There isn't. Speaking to you makes me angry. You're a horrible person. I don't care if it's "only a joke", it's not very funny and I don't want to hear any of your jokes again.

Thanks for ruining a part of college life that I really enjoyed.

Sincerely,

MavisDavis.

Dear C&H,

This is the artist formerly known as Knifey. I deleted the KnifeWRENCH account because, frankly, KnifeWRENCH was a cúnt and I hated him most of the time. 10,000+ posts, about half of which I wish I'd never written. There's too much emotional baggage and depression connected to that account, which is why I killed it. (I had considered the self-indulgent, wanky "goodbye forever" post but I'm not that lame! :pac:)

Anyway I just thought I should mention that for some reason.

Sincerely,
me.

Dear me,

Try not to fúck up as much this time. And do more to fix your life; the "woe is me" lark is getting old and everyone's fed up of it.

Sincerely,

Dear hydroxyl group,

Our relationship has already lasted a lot longer than I thought it ever would. And you make me a lot happier than I thought you ever would. We both know we have about a maximum of four or five months left before we have to go our separate ways. The fact that we both know it'll happen is a huge relief; at least we'll both be prepared for it.

Promise me we can stay friends though. Bitter break ups do nobody any favours, and I still want you in my life. I'm really glad I met you. I don't know if I could have coped with 2011 otherwise.

Lots of love,
me.

**********

Dear former friend,

We were best friends in secondary school, and now we hardly ever talk. That used bother me so much, and I really missed hanging out with you. Whereas you probably never cared. You couldn't be bothered maintaining a friendship with someone who gets down a lot; you were always crap at the "serious stuff". You turning into the world's biggest hipster is cringeworthy btw. Anyway I'll probably see ya round at some point, but if I don't it's not the end of the world.

Yours apathetically,
me.

********

Dear you-know-who-you-are,

Right now, you have more friends and much brighter prospects for the future than I do. Life's really fúcking unfair, isn't it? :rolleyes:

While it's nice to no longer obsess about you like I used to, I just thought I should remind you what a selfish, cowardly, dishonest and two-faced person you are. Just in case you'd forgotten.
I lost a load of potential friendships because of you, which hurts a lot more than just losing you. I also wasted so much money on trains, hostels etc. just to see you. I could really do with that money now!

If only I could turn back time....it would have been nice to have never known you. Then you wouldn't have hurt me, turned your back on me when I needed you most, lied to me about why you did what you did....it sucks that every happy memory I ever had of us together is ruined by the fact that you're there.

But you know what the absolute worst thing is? You're still probably a good person. I just can never see the good side of you anymore. Guess that reflects badly on both of us, huh?

Sincerely,
me.

********

Dear employers and HR people,

There's only so much rejection a fragile person like me can take. I'm already my own worst critic, so I'll take any criticism you can throw at me in my stride. But when you don't even have the decency to reply.......that hurts. A lot. I know times are tight and all that, but people who come to your company for a job at least deserve some human contact.

My CV and my college transcript may not indicate that I achieved much, but let me assure you; the fact that I've managed to get the last four years of my life without killing myself is a pretty big achievement. Just a shame I can't bring it up in a job interview. Not that you'd offer me one of them anyway.....

Hatefully,
me.

Dear university board,

Please please PLEASE don't reject my application for this Masters. I need this to get my life back on track. This is more than just wanting to study at your university; it's about giving me a reason to get up in the morning and not want to just throw myself into a river or something.

Hopefully yours,
me.
