Protected: An Unsent Letter To A Friend

Dear­est Megan,

I know you're going through a rough time, and feel like things will never get any bet­ter. And I wish I had some help for you, to make things eas­ier, or bet­ter, or bear­able. But I don't.

All I can say is that things will get bet­ter. Whether you believe that state­ment or not doesn't dis­prove its valid­ity. Yes, what you're doing and how you're feel­ing is dif­fi­cult. I know it is. But what you can't do is just give up and say, "Fuck it" to the world. You're sell­ing your­self short if you do that.

I care about you greatly. First as a friend, then a girl­friend, and nowa­gaina friend. I love you, and I hate to see you hurt­ing, espe­cially when I know there's noth­ing I can do to make it better.

One thing, though: You're not going to make me go away by being unpleas­ant. I'm used to itand I'm not going any­where. I care about you way too much to let you go now. So please, don't push me away from you. I know you think that you're going through it alone, so it doesn't mat­ter. But it does mat­ter, and you're not aloneit only feels like you are.

I'm here for you, Megan. Never for­get that.

Love,
Chris
