ContemplativeJoyce 2008-04-15 ch 1,	abuseMhmm. This reminds me of.. me. But in a sense I'm more in fear of disappointment than losing my pride.. Though losing my pride does seem as horrible as losing everything I have. Well anyways.. This also reminds me of the situation I'm sort of in. And like you, I know I'd get over him. But when you're unfortunately crushing on someone who has a girlfriend which just happens to be your friend, you can't help but feel like you wish he would just like you back. Just easy as that. And of course I tell my friends I'm not jealous of her, I'm probably half way lying. ..Wow, how'd I come off to that? Anyways... Thanks for posting this. It was very well written.. and it made me think unlike the usual trash I read sometimes.. heh. Well yeah. Good job .. and even though he might not be the one.. I hope you find him cause truth be told, I don't really like unhappy endings. Haha, wow I sound so... romantic crazed in a sense.. Sorry. Well woah, enough of my ramblings. You're a great writer =)
paradiie 2008-01-21 ch 1,	abusehey, maybe i should do the same. i was always told that writing a letter would always release those hidden feelings that have been supressed all those years but for me, i don't even have love, likes... i have more of an brief infatuation for boys- i hope it's just a stage. but strangely, there's been a mishap and there's this one malfunction- good gawd, i'm digressing. anyway, i just wanted to say i loved the letter.
Lona 2007-12-16 ch 1, anon.	abusei remember when u showed this to me and debated the locker thing. looking back its weird. esp with all that's happened since then. congrats on moving on. i shouldn't stayed that way too :P well i'll see you tomorrow. or teusday if we're lucky.
PeculiarMuse 2007-11-17 ch 1,	abuseNicely structured and eloquently expressed. My compliments. I really love the way you write and hope to get as good at it one day as you are. Well, in English, anyway. I’m learning to write in English. About the contents, though… my first thought was – isn’t it better to regret things you’ve done then things you haven’t done or have deliberately missed? Regret is always lurking just around the corner, you know, usually surfacing its ugly head when you really don’t want to see it. Isn’t it more satisfactory to be able to say, well, at least I tried to do things to get what I want; pity it didn’t work out but I didn’t just stand around drooling on my dream like an incompetent fool. Go me. Or something. Pride as you described it is in most cases just a convenient and sorta sublimed excuse for insecurity, inflexibility and plain fear in the face of the unknown. No one is shielded from their first jump in the dark, head first. Life is nasty like that, and I don’t think your heroin will be able to avoid it, not eternally. So I don’t agree with your heroine; she might want to rethink her options. Isn’t her pride actually getting in the way of starting to live her life? She’s quite young, and it ain’t stay way that for very long. Body will mature, and wrinkles will come faster then you can say aging gracefully. And when she’d look back in, say, ten, twenty years to the time of her prime, will there be fun, emotions, pain, discoveries, a great start or just imperturbable pride dominating her very safe life? On the other hand, who am I to speak? I, a boring grownup these days, don’t remember all that well how it was to be an angsty teenager. And I really don’t think I was all that angsty anyway, so you may securely disregard my ramblings.
iheartcarebears 2007-10-18 ch 1,	abuseThat was the most intresting not sent letter ive ever read great job :)
kiro 2007-10-18 ch 1, anon.	abuseWhen I read this letter, I thought it was amazing. Almost every line described me and how I usually act with guys. My two favourite lines (that i liked b/c it describes me so well) in your letter were, 1) "I would be wary of being clingy, and thus never initiate contact- you would have to start everything, from grabbing my hand to asking me out. I’m too afraid of rejection..." and 2)"I’m too proud to want you, and I don’t like you enough for it to overwhelm my pride." I'm just like you, in that I have too much pride.. sometimes i think its too much to be considered healthy. Right now, a guy I liked 2 years back admitted to me he liked me and still does. Then slowly all the "like" i had for him came rushing back. I noticed that I let my pride control me..no matter what. He'll say nice, sweet things and I'll just be like..."um..ya..thanks." and I won't say what I really want to say and I hate that more than anything. I wish I had it in me to just say how I feel. I've noticed that me acting the way I do might gives him the impression that I don't like him. He's admitted that he hates that I never call and that he always has to be the one to do that. It's not that I don't like him or don't want to call him (i really do)...its just I don't want to be one of those girls that would call him all the time. But I understand where he's coming from. I just hope my pride doesn't get the best of me. Pride is good..but too much just seems to complicate my life. Sorry you had to read that. just got off topic. You're letter was great, better than anything I could've written. And all those emotions you described, I assure you, you aren't the only one who feels that way. Thanks for writing this, it made my day. :D
lia.xoxo 2007-09-22 ch 1,	abuseomg, i practically shrieked when i read this. it perfectly describes my thoughts right now. i love it. :)
i found nemo 2007-09-14 ch 1,	abuseSo eloquent and wonderfully written. A couple years ago, this letter would have been my sentiments exactly. Actually, it's sort of how I still am/feel, so thank you for this. I think I needed to read it for myself. It was kind of comforting, in a way.
JGoddess 2007-09-13 ch 1,	abuseBrillant! I know how you feel, like every other girl I have crushes also, and just to think that you can just go up to them and telling them things is wayy too blehh..but keeping and hiding it is so much better. I recall I wrote a love letter or confession letter like this one but of course not the same kind of crush but similar, and I still have it hidden, he never read it never found it but as time goes I was able to let go and when I m totally bored I looked over the letter and rethink what the hell was I doing, wasting my time over some guy that might never even like you back. But doing this reminds me of the teenage crush at that time. Love your letter =] >.< sry abt my babblings, your letter reminds me of so much. Thank you.
tstj 2007-09-11 ch 1, anon.	abuse"I would be wary of being clingy, and thus never initiate contact- you would have to start everything, from grabbing my hand to asking me out. I’m too afraid of rejection, because not only would that kill my pride but it would also mean everyone else would know about it, and I would be a laughingstock." I can really relate to the above... A very different love letter, nonetheless, I really like the intensity of the emotions protrayed.
CarlyJo 2007-09-11 ch 1,	abuseWow. I wish i had the guts to even write something like this. It was angsty but not overly so and it was so deep that it made me feel what you were trying to portray. Amazing job, my dear. Absolutly amazing.
ess3sandra 2007-09-11 ch 1,	abuseWOW, that was some real feelings there, is it true? if it is life really is a pain in the behind sometimes... well well, i hope that you can move on, see it as an experience to have ellt the love so you dont need to agin. but seriously my tip to you, screw the boyfriend thing, just sleep with him, or another guy, get som action, emotions are for weak people.
obie 2007-09-11 ch 1, anon.	abuseOh my god, when I started reading this I practically screamed THIS IS ME!! I love it so much. I'm always thinking about you know, how little glances my way might mean something, or how if our hands happen to brush (which happens about once a year) that he noticed. Another fantasy of mine is that he is secretly in like with me but thinks that I don't like him, and that's the only reason why. And that some happenstance forced us together and then he'd pluck up the courage. Sheesh. Sorry about that. -sigh-
Jas Evans 2007-09-10 ch 1,	abuseI really like this because it's true, all too true. I'd hate to say this but I'd almost be scared to offer this up even under a penname because I'd be left open. It's scary and annoying in a weird way when people know stuff about you and you're left bare wondering how they're taking it, hoping in a way that it's exactly how you feel, dreading that it's not at all and wondering all the while if even ever giving it was a mistake in the first place. I've never been in love so I can identify with that in the writing, additionally to the inner hopeless romantic who hopes anyways that it would happen someday. Pride, of course, pride will always be there in all of us holding us back and I can't say if it's a bad thing or good thing. The kind of laughing at yourself but not in writing when you're talking about your feelings is what I do for some reason too like when admitting to things that seem totally out of character or serious Haha I think I'm going on about nothing so anyways just wanted to say I really liked it and as a one shot it works as well as it would as a letter :)
Pinkamoo 2007-09-10 ch 1,	abuseThat's just like me, there's this guy I have had a crush on for 2 years practically! But like you, I can bounce off accusations of me liking him and even lie to his face. (eg. One time I trusted the wrong friend and she told him, luckily he didn't believe her, still asked me though.) But I just can't admit it to him, because if he doesn't like me in that way-I'd die of humiliation for ever mentioning it. Unless he says something-which he won't-he'll never know. Have you since acted on any other crushes? I haven't, like, EVER. Really well written letter by the way :) Thankyou for posting it!
