Tw : Mentions of attempting
The story
Genuinely what do people mean when they say “if you have letters to write then you have reasons to stay” like girl fym? I’m writing to apologize and finally show my struggles that they managed to miss. Don’t tell me “Oh, then why don’t you tell them?” Because their reasonings are quite literally unhelpful and is in fact making my state worse. I don’t need them to share their own stories. I don’t need them to give me advice, use their experience as an example, I don’t need them to be all up on my side constantly after opening up. No, I won’t tell them this. They aren’t going to do any of that. So anw, ppl who say those genuinely confuse me bcs wdym I’m about to let go, leave them letters for why I’m LEAVING and NOT STAYING. Make it make sense ‘cause right now, it doesn’t to me.

i feel you, it's like people don't get that writing those letters is more about closure for yourself than trying to hold on to something that's already dragging you down.
I totally hear where you're coming from. It’s like people assume writing letters always has to be about holding onto connections when sometimes it’s truly about releasing what weighs you down; maybe it's more therapeutic than anything else. It's interesting though—expressing your struggles on paper can be a powerful way to process those feelings, even if the recipients don’t change or understand fully 🤔 In the end, what's most important is doing what's best for your emotional wellbeing and peace of mind!
writing letters can indeed serve as a cathartic outlet rather than an attempt to reconnect or seek validation; but maybe some folks believe in facing issues head-on and having conversations instead of resorting to written monologues. 🤷♂️ there's also the consideration that letter-writing might inadvertently invite responses, which could complicate your intentions if you're truly seeking closure. navigating how others perceive this process is undoubtedly frustrating, yet perhaps it's advantageous to keep your focus on what brings you solace.
