Post-Birthday Post

Dear P,
This year I have gone through a full cycle of emotions towards you. I have felt angry to the point of not wanting to even talk to you; then complacent, where I would talk to you but uneasily. Eventually, I realised that my only choice was to forgive you, and to accept that maybe you were trying your best. Though I won't make the same mistakes again, I'm glad that I have got over how I used to feel. I feel pleased when I make you proud, and that's good enough for me.

Dear C,
Oh, there's so much I could say here! Though things have changed greatly, I'm always going to owe you more than I can ever, ever repay. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Dear HH,
Yeah, you were a brief thing, kinda, and yeah I still notice you. Ah well.

Dear BB,
One of the greatest people I know, and could ever hope to know. I love you so so much, and I want the best for you, because that is completely and totally what you deserve.

Dear WombBuds,
Meeting you this year was the best. We've become so close so quickly, and I'm really pleased that we've stayed in contact and kept close. I love my Sunday froyo with you, and our explorations of Bristol are fab. Looking forward to more Kinder Eggs, more bubble tea, more Piaget, more mahogany and more froyo. Wombies rule!

Dear TM,
Dt.

Dear Sixth Form,
I actually really agree with the people who say that I was 'born for sixth form'. I feel like I have become my own person this year, and this makes me happy!!

Dear *
Over this year I've gone from being sure that there would never be anyone else like you to knowing that though there won't be, that isn't a bad thing. You were  a huge part of my life, and that was and will be important to me. However, I have moved on, and I'm happy about that. You may have been my star, but I'm aiming for the sun and the moon.

Dear Mental Health,
We've been on a roller coaster ride this year, from the very lows to the very highs. Though I'll never be able to say for sure that I'm 100% recovered, I truly believe that I am on my way, and I like to think that I'm a stronger person for what I've experienced, no matter how impossible it felt at the time.

Dear B,
I haven't written to you in a while because you're no longer here. However, that doesn't mean you haven't been in my thoughts. I've missed you, and hope to be in contact with you again one day.

Dear Room,
It's been a big year, hasn't it?! There's more work to do, but you are so my favourite place :3 I've made you exactly the way I want, and that makes me happy- even happier that I've done almost all of the work! My escape, my safe haven :)

Dear SS,
You're a far more recent entry into my life. I believe that we meet people for a reason; I'm still trying to figure out what your reason is. Until then, you're lovely.

Dear H&M,
I'm not going to lie, I am still really angry with you. You made things worse at a time when that was the last thing I needed, and you threatened to hurt the people I spend my life protecting. It's really not what should have happened, and I hope that no-one ever has to experience what I experienced.

Dear R,
You never fail to make me smile, or to make me proud. I know I annoy you and call you small, but you'll never be small- there's far too much spirit in you. You complete me princess, and I am lucky to be able to call myself your sister. You'll go far, and I'll be with you every step of the way <3 xox

Dear T,
Thank you so much for your support over the last year, it really has been invaluable! I hope all is well with you, and wish you the best of luck.

Dear Future,
You are really really scary, but also exciting. I am taking each day as it comes, and that's the best way to be, I think. I'll get to things when I get to them, there's no need to hurry.

Dear Lucky Cats,
Goodness, where do I begin?! Possibly with a very high D, played at 24 f's on a clarinet (remember to go up three semis), tongued lightly and with the lyric 'cat'. You rock guys- you are fabulously amazingly fantastic, and getting closer to you all has been one of the best parts of my year (and also my life!). I love you beyond infinity- so many memories, and here's to more!!

Dear G,
We used to be so close, and it makes me sad that that's changed so much. It's made me angry and sad at times, and I wish I could make things right, but I guess that things change, and at least I had the memories. I'll always love you, and I'll always be here for you.

Dear all of H,
Thank you, for being lovely and for smiling. Though nothing to you, it's actually been really helpful and important to me.

Dear Self-Harm,
We've grown more distant over this year, and that's nothing but good. Sure, we've still had encounters, and I think you're always going to be that thought at the back of my mind, but I don't want to fall into you again. My arms are for bracelets and for henna, not for scars. Anyway, I've got better support than you now.

Dear M&D,
This year you have gone beyond all comprehension in terms of how much support and love you have given me. I know I am messy and forgetful and lazy and grumpy and I spend too much time on my phone/the laptop, but I am still eternally eternally overwhelmingly thankful for everything!!

Dear E,
I only knew you for a while, and we parted on bad terms, but you were very important. I would like to meet you again, to tell you that I am better, and to assure you that part of this is down to you. Thank you x

Dear WR,
You've been such a support over the past however many months, and you're another person who I'll never be able to thank- even by just putting up with me you're amazing! I know you sometimes stress out if I'm upset, but I'm going to get upset regardless, it's better that I 'let it out'. In addition, if you weren't helping, I wouldn't come straight to you when I need to. You're fab!

Dear Self,
It's been a tough year. However, it's not been a bad year- after all, so many amazing things have happened! I've got through it, and I truly do believe that I am a better person for it. Finally, I am beginning to feel like this is where I belong, and that this is where I'm meant to be. Being 16 has been eventful, and I can't wait to see what the future brings.
