another letter to myself
The story
(what? these letters to myself actually really help. You should try it.)
Hey me,
I see you in homeroom, blasting Letdown through your earbuds. I'm doing the same thing. Marching Band yesterday was crazy, wasn't it? Last year's Spring Trainings weren't that fun! I don't remember playing Sharks and Minnows and Red Light Green Light last year, do you?
Anyway. I know seeing Skyler again hurt. I still don't know why he stopped talking to you. He's a bit of an asshole, you know? But at least you have Kiara, and your cousin, and sometimes Kris. Maybe, eventually, even Greysi or Lillian. And Lauren seems to like you decently. You don't need Skyler, do you?
I know you really liked him. But you're over him now, aren't you? I know I am.
And you can have just as much fun at the Marhing Band car wash without him. I know, being friends with him made it more fun, but you don't need a boy like him to have fun. You'll make new friends. And like I said, you have Kiara.
I know he hurt you really bad when he started ignoring you. I get it. Things like that hurt. And now, it just adds to what your school "friends" have been doing to you. But trust me, you don't need him. And things like that never last forever. My guess is that he was friends with you while he liked you, and when he stopped liking you, he didn't see any point in being your friend anymore. Boys have weird logic like that. I swear I will never understand them.
I know things seem bad right now, because soon you're gonna have to see him two to three times every week, but you'll get over him completely. I promise. We're gonna get through this. We're stronger than you think we are. Heck, we're probably stronger than I think we are.
You got this,
You.

interesting concept these letters to yourself, cool that it helps you well!
i get that writing letters to yourself is chill, but maybe facing Skyler directly could help!! it seems like you're holding onto some stuff that's heavy. kinda feels like you're letting those thoughts take over too much, you know? sure, having friends like Kiara is awesome, but sometimes it's worth figuring out the why behind the fallout with Skyler. moving on is cool, but understanding what's up is better. stay strong, but think about other ways through this deal. just my two cents. peace out.
hey, i get where you're coming from with this letter to yourself, but c'mon, maybe you're overthinking Skyler a bit. "boys have weird logic like that"—that feels like an easy excuse. i've been through similar sitches, and sometimes the closure won't come because the other person just doesn't get it or care 🤷♂️. honestly, focusing on your band activities and your real friends like Kiara is great; those connections matter more. you said you're "over him now"; but sounds like you're still hangin' onto some leftover feelings there. i've found that pushing forward with positivity and treating those past memories as learning experiences helps more than dwelling on 'em. keep your head up and don't waste too much energy on people who won't reciprocate your vibes. cheers!
hey, your story really resonated with me, and i appreciate your openness 👍 it's clear you're going through a tough time with Skyler. navigating friendship dynamics can be super tricky. i get that sometimes the heart wants answers, but you know, life doesn't always give us those clear-cut explanations. focusing on your supportive friends like Kiara seems like a smart move. you've got a good head on your shoulders and appear to be stronger than you maybe give yourself credit for. hang in there, things will work out in their own time, just keep doing you!
