The previous three.

DAY 1 — YOUR BEST FRIEND

Dear Bestfriend,

I just wanted to let you know that you are probably one of the most beautiful people I will ever encounter in my life and I cannot fathom enough how much I’m inspired by you, through your experiences and how you live your life on a daily basis. I think I’ve been blessed by God to have you in my life, to be able to share with you what I think is the most important period of adolescence and teenage years. Thank you for always having the time to be a shoulder to cry on, for having the time to actually listen to my bullshit and rambles of pure nonsense, for knowing me so much more than I’ve yet to know myself. In return, I also, have the ears to hear and guide you through whatever struggle you are trying to run away from. Pulling yourself out of quick sand is the hardest thing and the only way you’d be able to come out is with help from another. Even if the world is spitting at your feet, you should know that you never have to go through anything alone, so here I am. I trust and love you so much and even though you may not know this, you’re indeed someone very special to me, someone I could definitely consider my best friend. I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for me, and even with my stupidity and blonde moments, thank you for standing by side. Don’t go changing girl, cause you’re absolutely amazing, just the way you are. I know that ‘best friend’ isn’t exactly your strong point but you know, I can confidently say that you’ve passed the mark for me.

Uyen Pham, I hope you’ll come across this and realize that you can count on me always, like 1 2 3. Don’t worry too much, always be strong and live your life to the fullest, ignore the obstacles and keep your sight ahead of you, not at your feet.

Oh, and please never stop smiling :D

DAY 2 — YOUR CRUSH

Dear Crush, 

I can’t remember when this attraction I have with you started, but I do know that I adore every single thing about you, your wittiness and your ability to make me smile so vastly. You’re obviously an amazing guy, absolutely generous and caring, which is pretty rare amongst all the other guys I know. I need to know so much more about you even with our endless conversations of random rants and similar interests. You have the most warmest hugs and you’re smart, I like smart, but I hate your height. Why do you have to be like two heads taller than me for? Ugh. Haha, good luck with your studies this year, work hard and finish high school with a BAM! I hope you achieve your best and be blessed with the best wellbeing that will help you pull through this rough year :’D

DAY 3 — YOUR PARENTS

Dear Parents,

First of all, thankyou for bringing me up into this world, and teaching me what is right, what is wrong and most of what I know now. Thankyou for providing me with everything I need and loving me as I am. I’m proud to call you guys my parents and I think that you’re the strongest people I know. Through our fights and shortcomings for the past 16 years, with me and together as husband and wife, there’s always been a silver lining waiting. Despite this, I want to let you know that I don’t get enough space for myself in the house. I know that may be selfish, but sometimes, what you expect of me is too much, and I just don’t think you’ve given me enough room to grow. Grow as an individual, for myself. I’d been so comfortable under your supervision and guidance that I feel like there’s not enough ‘me.’

Dad, I really don’t feel like you appreciate me, at all. To you, everything I do is wrong. I’m studying, you tell me to get off the computer cause all I’m doing is ‘chatting’ when clearly there’s an essay I’m trying to write, you say I’m lazy, when I love helping around the house while you’re sleeping an extra three hours in the afternoon. I don’t even get enough sleep. I understand you, but do you understand me? What level do I have to step up to, to be at your standards? What happened to being daddy’s girl like 10 years ago? What ever changed, when all I did was grow up under your own rules?

Mum, I love the relationship we have together, the way I can easily express myself freely and bombard you with problems between friends and school and the way I make you feel younger HAHA! I just want you to spend more time with the family. Because on the weekends, I only see you for about an hour when you’ve come home from work, then you disappear with your friends either playing cards or going to play Bingo. I feel like you and dad don’t have that sparkle in your relationship, always arguing about the same thing constantly, and it’s because you’re never home. And when you are, all you do is sit on the coach with a box of tissues and get all emotional as you cry to the endless numbers of asian drama’s you own. You don’t even talk to anyone, we have to talk to you. I don’t know if you’re addicted with your ‘gambling’ or whatever, but I just want you to be at home and cook quality food like you use to.

I love you both very much, and God knows that. And all of this is nothing compared to that love, we’ll get across it soon, it just takes a little more perseverance and effort to make it work, but it doesn’t just take one person to do it.

Well, I don’t know what else to write. Here, have a photo.
