Dear Blank,

Salt. Savagery. Sometimes we need to.

1. Dear Blank,
You're not the Queen of England. Please call the gate and let them know you are expecting a visitor. No need to hold up the United States because you're too busy to call in ahead of time.

2. Dear Blank,
You have taught me to throw money at my problems until they disappear. It's been working, but now I'm broke and need to pay tuition :')

3. Dear Blank,
I am not good at hiding emotions, but luckily you are not good at reading emotions.

4. Dear Blank,
Yes, I'm a hypocrite. If it bothers you, close this tab immediately.

5. Dear Blank,
what are we

6. Dear Blank,
I'm sorry I get pissed off so easily. I just want my space. And my freedom. And my summer.

7. Dear Blank,
Why can't we be (just) friends?

8. Dear Blank,
I apologize for judging you too quickly.

9. Dear Blank,
Please forgive me-- I don't hate you, I just dislike talking to you. Or being near you for that matter.

10. Dear Blank,
I'm not your prop.

11. Dear Blanks,
I feel undervalued and unsupported sometimes. I feel selfish for feeling this way too. "Pity me" is probably all anyone gets from statements like these. I just wish there was some way I could feel warmer or more appreciated sometimes without asking for it. So yeah, pity me.

12. Dear Blank,
This is just a regular sized entry so that number eleven doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. 

13. Dear Blank,
I'm really glad we're friends.

14. Dear Blank,
Why do all the rocks in my life speak words to me that I wish I could just take with a grain of salt?

15. Dear Blank,
I guess I should take a spoon of my own medicine. I'll remind myself that I'll probably not get appreciation. Silly I want that. But isn't it freaking human?

16. Dear Blank,
I've never wanted to quit everything and drift away to an unknown place as much as today.

17. Dear Blank,
I suck. And I know it. But why? That I don't know. 

18. Dear Blank,
There's not many people I like being vulnerable to. Putting up a wall is hard 24/7. Let me be weak sometimes. And not feel reprimanded for it.

12. Selective Spirituality is OK.

I was never too connected to my roots. At most, I’d slip in an out of cultural appreciation when cultural festivals were around the corner, or I’d occasionally look out into the nature and wonder how the world around us came to be. But sometimes I’d feel guilty for feeling entitled to these thoughts of awe and amazement at the universe- I thought I was the least spiritual p erson on the planet. I used to roll my eyes when people I knew talked about spiritual matters. I tuned it out. I thought being spiritual was lame or unrealistic. The world was just a result of chemical reactions to me. But sometimes , I realized it was a result of beautiful and awe-inspiring chemical reactions. I was under some angsty impression of myself that getting spiritual once in a while just didn’t fit my vibe. But more recently, I’ve realized it’s a blessing to see some of the things we see. I’ve gotten more in touch with my emotional side, and a lot more things move me than they did befo...

8. It's All In Your Head.

WARNING- This is more of a personal statement than good advice. It’s just me typing out the nebulous thoughts in my head that I need to clear out. Read if you want. It’s a fact- I worry too much. I worry about what people think of me, I worry about handling my college classes, I worry about my family, I worry about my social life, I worry about my health, and I worry about my future.   Sometimes, I get too caught up in worrying about all these things, especially the first and last- what people think of me and my future. Worrying too much about what people will say for some of your actions mentally restricts you from trying new things. How are we supposed to know what’s actually good for us just based on other people’s judgments? Recently, I went through formal recruitment and joined a sorority. As of two weeks ago, becoming a sorority girl never crossed my mind. Going through recruitment was just something I did to meet new people and try new things, and somehow I ended up g...

7. Make Your Own Judgements

I've never liked the squad-mentality of friendship. The whole " if one person doesn't like her, we ALL don't like her" attitude is faulty. In spite of the loyalty we may owe our friends' judgement, it's not fair for us to let one person's judgement spoil our own. Girls talk about each other. A lot. There's no such things as secrets sometimes, and if you've messed with one of my friends, chances are we've talked about you. A lot. It's just what we do. In the moment, we may discuss one's distrustful or disgusting nature based on a bad experience a friend has had. But most often, my interactions with some of the people we discuss have never been short of positive. When our trusted friends narrate the encounters they have with people, some details can accidentally get exaggerated. Perhaps they misread the facial cues and tones they relay for us to form a judgement on the people they speak of. On numerous occasions, I've heard my...
