Dear Me, From Me

You know life is hard right now with you facing homelessness. You also know your chances of going back to your drugging ways is high. My advice for you at this time is to sleep and try to put these troubles aside. They won't last. Yes, the end is near, so just have a drink and wait.

Dear Loser, Your self indulgent-pity is driving me insane. Cut your losses now, in order to do that, you must first stop making up more and more lies about me, wishing I was yours etc, trying to have me thrown off etc, because your lies are just another sad part of your failure to stand up and be a man. Conquer your own demons, I won't tolerate your s**t anymore. (and if you going to moan, do it in a reasonable way.) That's all I will ask. From, an indigenous young woman.

^ did you mean indignant?

Dear Saint Alan,

Why in the world did you leave me halfway through this adventure of child-rearing?? I know I shouldn't be upset-- it's not like you had a choice in the matter. If I ever wondered (I didn't-- I know, if you were going to kill yourself, you would have finished the dishes and let the dog out first), the coroner's report made the fact that you died a natural death quite clear.

I'm just SCARED. I want my DADDY. Now I'm the Asperger parent raising the Asperger kid, and I really wish you were around to relate to. I wish, profoundly, that I could call you up on the telephone and ask you questions. One Grandma has permanent rose-colored glasses, the other Grandma is completely senile, and your sister didn't think about it enough to remember just exactly WHAT you guys did.

People haven't even gotten around to writing books about raising ASD kids specifically for ASD parents. Lots of them think it's impossible. You guys did it, and you did a pretty darn good job, before anyone even knew it was a subject for study. You really were amazing, and ahead of your time. I wish you were here so I could tell you that.

I wish that Young Mister Edison was going to benefit from having you for a role model. Yeah, I know-- "If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets." Mom used to get so flustered when we'd sit there and talk about plans and wishes... Jeez, I'd give my right arm for a cup of coffee with you guys right now. No s**t Sherlock.

Oh, well. Such is life. I reckon you taught me enough common sense that I'll figure it out. That doesn't make me miss you any less right now.

Love,
Boo

Dear fellow library patron,

Please wrap it up with the book, and return it. It's not like it's War and Peace.

Impatiently yours,

Dear friends,

Do you always have to be late?

Dear me,

What the hell were you doing? Urgh, for God's sake.

URGH. Slap yourself.

Harder.

- Me.

^ I've just realised, that sounds kinda funny if you say it out loud.

Slap me! URGH! Harder!! !

Anyway.

Dear anonymous

I sat there the other week, and as soon as you went to the bathroom, P started singing your praises as to what a decent, genuine and good guy you are. As I sat there listening to him but not saying anything, I could tell he was telling me because he really believes it, not just because he is your friend. I know he would not have done the same for any if the others except the two I already trust. But he could also sense how hesitant I was about you. C was silent because she knew what I was thinking and she can see why too.

Being a good guy and a genuine person is not enough. You haven't got your s**t together, you're not committed to anything and you don't have a purpose or any direction. You haven't learned what respect is yet - or trust. And these are general life skills. How do you expect to be able to have a relationship when you have so much work to do yet is beyond me. Go back to f*cking girls and having ficantes. That's all you're going to be able to do until you do some serious work on yourself.

Words don't change anything. Actions say everything.

Dear You Two

I really want to be friends with you. I like the banter. I like that you take me out of myself - in a fun way.

I wish you felt the same way. I wish there wasn't any awkwardness. If you were foreign, we would have had "that conversation" ages ago, it would have became a non-issue and things would have been a lot more relaxed. But I guess you can't help being who you are and I can't help being who I am.

Still, I care about you a lot and enjoy your company.

Thanks for all the laughs.

Dear Mom,

Happy birthday. I love you. I miss you. If I had known it would end this way, I wouldn't have put you through all the trouble of learning to let yourself love us.

Happy birthday. I will always love you. I miss you more than ever.

Love,
Daughter

Dear best friend,

I will never be able to express how much you mean to me. I wish we could spend more time together, or that you would at least call me or make some effort to communicate with me more than 30 minutes a week.

I love you. I love you more as a best friend than I ever would have as a girlfriend. You make me smile. You make me want to be happy. I just wish you would stay in one place long enough for me to tell you this.

Dear b***h teammate in my bowling league,

Why do you insist on giving me orders when I know what I'm doing? You do not need to tell me that it is my turn to bowl when I already know this; I was not born yesterday. Also, you were very harsh in tone when you told me to pick up my jacket when it fell to the floor. I can't stand being on the same team as you because you are annoying and tend to break my concentration. From now on, when we bowl together, you don't talk to me, and I don't talk to you. Capiche?

-Me

To Brain,

P L E A S E shut off !
I need some rest !

Thanks -

Dear manager,

I just thought I'd drop a line a thank you for your letter last Wednesday.

I'm sorry I was, in your words, a disappoint to you for taking two weeks off unpaid and for leaving you with the sense I had let you down. I guess the two minor heart attacks I had, followed by my incarceration in the intensive care unit, weren't sufficiently important to warrant a 'Hey buddy, how's you doing' call?

Anyway, I am back at work on Monday but in order to alleviate your disappointment I wont be -

Standing outside monitoring traffic for three hours a day in 2deg C because you wont allocate security to do it.
Covering the desk duties of other staff because they are incompetent.
Monitoring and reporting on jobs not relevant to my dept.
Completing my 10 hr shift and then doing another two hours overtime on some pet project of yours that you can't be asked to do yourself.

Oh I know you'll be irate enough about this to want to fire me and that's ok too as I've been offered another job.

Yours, actually.

It seems that senior management became acutely aware of what failed to get done whilst I was away, asked all the right questions and got the right solution.

Hope you enjoy the move, I shall.

Regards,

Me.

I never been good at showing how much I care for those around me through words, not because i'm not a speaker, nor it's it because people don't matter to me, but because I somehow felt that time never was there. It's a shame because the time wasted is time that can never be regained.

However I'm forever grateful to you, when my family proved it self to me more of a responsibility than giving group of comfort, you where able to tell me and show me another way. You always said that you made the mistakes for me, so that I shouldn't follow your footsteps and learn from those, while watching on the sidelines. I already did that nature always analyzing and observing all these disturbing people around me, but you did so in a respectful and brotherly caring way, that my relatives never where able to give me. Still to this day, your apartment feels more like a home to me, than any of the places I have lived before, since I felt safe and sound being around you.

When you were out working in the night time you left me with your apartment, having total faith in me have never doubting me both for taking anything and trusting me to help you in everyday life with small tasks. When i think back on it, you were actually way better at handling a very young teenager that was me, than my family ever was and I learned more without you preaching and pretending to be something you weren't.

You were a massive part of my live and a big inspiration for me when I was younger, I even molded apart of my core personality after you and it's still one of my best traits to this very day. I can't imagine what my life would have been like if i weren't for your care, those years ago

So Thanks for a giving brighter future than my others could ever offer me
