Dear Boys: Split Personality

Dear W,

I finally saw a shooting star.

You weren't here to share that moment,

But I still enjoyed it.

Sam

Dear Lion,

I'm still waiting for that phone call.

Impatiently waiting,

Sammy

Dear Castle,
I miss what we had.
I didn't realize what it was until it was gone.
Now I have only myself to blame.
Your friemd,
Sammy

Dear MB,
I think you're the greatest.
Ever.
Seriously.
Love,
Sam

Dear Boys

Dear Hot and Cold

It's been while since we've talked.

But I still think about you.

Your friend,

Sammy

Dear Water,

I like our late night talks.

They are pretty much the best.

Sleepily,

Sammy

Dear Locker,

I miss our candid chats.

I miss you telling me what I needed to hear.

Which wasn't always what what I wanted to hear.

Lovingly,

Sammy

Dear B,

You can always make me laugh.

Thank you,

Samantha

Dear Book,

It's just not going to happen.

So please stop pushing it.

Let's just be friends.

Samantha

Dear Boys

Dear Mister,

.................................

................................

.................................

Awkwardly,

Samantha

Dear Mister,

That's how I feel when I'm around you.

I never know what to say.

I really need to work on that...

Apologetically,

Samantha

Dear Water,

I have officially started a countdown.

August cannot come fast enough.

And then what will happen?

I miss you!

Sammy

Dear Nameless,

I still can't bring myself to talk to you.

So I'll just watch you from a distance.

Please don't think I'm a creeper

I'm sorry I'm not sorry.

Affectionately,

Samantha

Dear Hot and Cold,

I think you might have forgotten about me.

But I haven't forgotten about you.

Your friend,

Sammy

Dear Boys

Dear Tall, Dark and Handsome

You left today.

And I'm not sure how I feel about that yet.

I hope you find what you need in life because it definitely wasn't me.

Goodbye,

Sammy

Dear Water,

I can't believe how fast time has gone.

I am counting down the days until I see you again.

There's not very many left.

Impatiently Waiting,

Sammy

Dear Gamer,

I saw you last weekend but couldn't remember what I ever saw in you.

Thanks for messing up the rest of my life.

Grudgingly,

Sammy

Dear Blank,

You were just a crush.

But why do I still secretly look for you everywhere I go?

Confused,

Samantha

Dear Nameless,

I promise I really am not a complete ditz.

I just act like it around you because you are so perfect.

Try to see past my awkwardness?

Lovingly,

Samantha

Dear Hot and Cold,

I can tell that things are changing.

And I'm not sure why that bugs me. But it does.

Can things just go back to the way they used to be?

I miss you,

Sammy

Dear Boys: Past and Present

Dear Hot and Cold,
We tried and tried but it never seemed to work.
I  think we are just better off as friends.
Seriously.
Your friend,
Sammy


Dear Water,
Please come home soon so we can figure this out.
Whatever 'this' is.
Love,
Sammy
P.S. I miss you more.


Dear Clarinet,
Remember all those notes we would pass in class?
Yeah, I might still have those.
And now I bet you wouldn't even remember my name.
Have a nice life,
Sam


Dear Ninja,
I remember those MSN chats.
And trying to get you to tell us who you liked.
Years later, we found out your secret.
Thanks for the memories,
Sammy


Dear Tall, Dark and Handsome,
I knew you were too good to be true.
It was short lived and sometimes I regret it.
And sometimes I don't.
Love,
Sam


Dear New Guy,
You are messing with my head.
Please just ask me out already or stop with the games.
It's hard enough to make up my mind about you.
Love,
Samantha

Dear Mission Impossible,
I'm so sorry.
I messed everything up.
Regretfully,
Sammy

This is it.

Remember what it was like to be 7 years old? When you dreamed of the future and when you thought those teenage girls were so cool with their cars and boyfriends.They got to wear make-up, have pretty clothes and stay out late.

I remember those girls. I remember Chloe, Susan and Heidi (names have been changed to protect the innocent). They were so cool and I remember how I wanted to be like them. I couldn't wait to grow up. Because then I would get my drivers license, have my first kiss and go to high school. And then I would go to college and have a successful career. I couldn't wait for the future and actually believed that all my dreams would come true.

But I'm just now realizing that the future is here.

Driving is no longer exciting, I have graduated high school, my first kiss has come and gone, boys are still just as dumb and I am actually going to college.


The future is no longer this abstract idea. The future that I dreamed about as a little kid is here. It is very much the present and today's reality.

And the big question is: Was it everything I thought it would be?

No.

With less than six months remaining of my teenage years, I can't help but reflect on what I thought it would be and what it really was.

High school wasn't as glamorous as it is made out to be in the movies. In fact, some of my worst memories are from high school. Driving isn't exciting now as it was when I was 16 due to car payments, gas and insurance.

Now that I am an adult, I realize that I don't know and can't handle everything. The perception we get from our parents and other adults in our younger years are not exactly true. When I was younger, I almost half expected to receive this large amount of knowledge when I turned 18. Or maybe even 19. Or maybe it's yet to come when I turn 20. But adults really don't know everything.

Part of me wants to be a little kid again. Everything seemed so much simpler then.

Dear Boys

This is my attempt at a dear boys post. I've read a few of them and I think I have it figured out. This was inspired by a dear boys post written by my friend, Elise. You should totally check out her blog. It's pretty awesome!

Dear Old Man,

No, I don't want to spend a month with you.

At your cabin in the woods.

In Alaska.

Sincerly,

Find someone your own age

Dear Wal-Mart,

Why do you have so many creepy married shoppers?

Sincerly,

I'm shopping somewhere else

Dear Mr. Hotty,

Please just talk to her.

It would make life so much easier for everyone involved.

Sincerly,

Her roommate

Dear Hot and Single Guys of Logan,

Where are you all hiding?

There's got to be more.

Sincerely,

I'm done playing hide-and-go seek

Dear School,

I'm not liking this girl to boy ratio that remains consistent in my classes.

If only I didn't love my major so much...

Sincerely,

Disappointed

Dear Old Friend,
I haven't seen you in awhile.

I hope you're doing well...
Sincerely,

Please don't forget me

Dear Hot and Cold,
You used to mean so much more.
But you changed.
So I changed my mind.
Sincerely,
I'm letting go

Dear Married Man,

No, I don't want to go to Cali with you.

Or attend your kid's b-day party.

Or go to the movies with you.

Or come over to 'relax'.

Sincerly,

Please stop asking

xoxo,

Sam
