Hey pig,

You make me sick. The happiest moment of my day is when the door clicks shut behind me and I immediately purge every thought of you and until I walk to the shitty car you made me buy and I am reminded of you again I am free. I live for that five minute walk every day where I can pretend you do not exist and I never met you, five minutes because you wanted to live on this shitty street with no parking so you could have a patio you never use. I guess everything has a silver lining. Everything except you, pig. As I drive to work I picture you "working" from home and taking two "breaks" of 3 hours each to walk to the grocery store and spend 80% my money 20% your money on four more gigantic candles that smell like chemical piss. Don't research how to get cheaper candles or anything. That $16 "Live Laugh Love Lavender Daydream" candle was made in Vietnam by a feeder company that also labels the same candle "Purple Candle" in the normal department store for people in our income bracket so with five seconds of research you could have spent $4 instead of $16 of mostly my money. But that's okay. You add so much to my life with your inability to cook and wearing the same dirty socks and dirty old lady slippers two days in a row while "working" from home that I don't even mind spending all our savings on Vietnamese candles. That's why when I'm driving to work and I see your McDonalds bags still on the passenger side floor with smashed fries on the mat I will have to clean later I feel my blood pressure rising like a column of mercury in a thermometer about to explode. That's why my eyes bulge and widen in rage and despair when I get a mid-day text because I know it's from you, and I know it's going to be stupid, or a request for more stupid shit you don't need, on my already painful commute home. I don't wish for death anymore, because I know you would find some other man and inflict yourself on him. My one solace in life is that I have contained you in this nightmare matrix with me so you can't drag anyone else down. I will drive the McDonalds car, I will see my hours of work drained away from my bank account four candles at a time, I will scrape the mashed fries out of the rubber mat and throw them in the gutter, I will come home to a stupid pig every day and listen about how the biddies on Zoom can't stop fighting over something the other biddies did over email, I will do it all, because somewhere out there is a man who doesn't have to do it instead. I hate you pig, but I will contain your evil and drag you down to hell with me.

Sincerely,
your husband

PS. Yes, I will pick up your chips, but please stop telling me how this fits into "breaking keto" and when and how and why you intend to remain on keto. I don't care.

From the moment I first saw you I felt the angels sing and heavens open, your face fit in my heart and nestled it's ideal into my soul

There is nothing I'd rather do then spend all my moments near you, to hold your hand is to win the lottery, to look in your eyes is to prove the existence of God

I've been told I'm good at this. I usually just sit alone in a comfortable room with a pen and paper, play some music that tends to amplify my emotions and just write from the heart. The most important factor is to be honest and vulnerable, but what differentiates a sweet letter from a beautiful one she will keep forever is, imo, creativity. In the old days this achieved through flowery and intricate language, but I think this is perceived as cringe these days. The trick for this short attention-span age is a flashy gimmick, some kind of inside joke you have with the girl or a theme she might enjoy. Alternatively, you can experiment with multimedia letters; glue pictures on or have accompanying audio. Ultimately, the goal is to show her you care and you put effort in it.

I wouldn’t know. I’ve never had a relationship because I’ve been having fun without one. Where is the fun in commitment and structure? Perhaps if you know what you want, you have grounds to enter a relationship. But the unpredictability of not making any pacts with a person lets you be free. Perhaps I am too young to understand this well, but many young people I see in relationships seem to like following a script. That is their choice, but there are so many potential experiences when every choice is your own.

It's all about quantity and consistency. If your girl wants sentimentality, she'll go buy a Hallmark card or a romance novel. What you're trying to do is letting her know that you're thinking about her *without explicitly writing that down*, because choosing to send mail is an inherently sentimental act. Then you get her thinking about you (what should I write him? when will he send me another letter?) in return.

You need to ask her if you can send her letters, both because you need her address and because it's weird to just start sending someone letters these days. Ideally, you are also far away and so have a legitimate reason to use the postal service.

Once you're past those hurdles, just let your imagination run wild. Postcards, stationary, greeting cards? Send them all. Try out new pens. Write from anywhere. A few sentences from somewhere she's never been are fun to read. Draw something stupid. Send a small package.

When she sends a letter back with "XO" or "I put your letters up in my room/desk/office", you're in.

I have known plenty of people with messy cars, I have always been able to easily look past it. Maybe there are you things he does that gets in her nerves, maybe she has stress and anxiety that make it hard for her to clean.

I’ve had two relationships and both ended horribly. Looking back, I don’t feel any of this about them at all. I know my father would never say this to my mom, or their fathers to my grandmothers. Maybe the issue is something in you? You are the one who engaged this woman (as it’s portrayed) yet you hate her. In your head, this is less a crime than spending $16 on candles or leaving a bag in the car. If these are the reasons you’re so distraught then you’re a psycho. Everything about this post is awful.

You' might as well start with the most memorable part of the relationship:

>"Death will come and have your eyes
Death will come and have your eyes -
this death that accompanies us
from morning to night, sleepless,
deaf, like an old remorse
or an absurd vice. Your eyes
will be a vain word
a silent cry, a silence.
So you see them every morning
when you bend over yourself
In the mirror. O dear hope
that day we too will know
that you are life and you are nothingness.

For everyone death has a look.
Death will come and it will have your eyes.
It will be like quitting a vice,
like seeing in the mirror
like seeing a dead face re-emerge,
like listening to a closed lip.
We will descend into the whirlpool mute."

how am i doing so far, anons?

Dear anonette,
I’ve never written a real letter to anyone before, so please excuse any clumsiness or aimlessness in what you read. Also, please ignore the fact that our proximity makes my delivery of this letter to you by hand easier than using the postal service, and kinda invalidates the whole point of letter writing. I say that partially as a joke and partially with a straight face, as I think writing to you will allow me to communicate what I’m either too moony or too slow to say in person. Or maybe writing allows me to say things that, to me, simply don’t make sense in speech. Anyway, I’ll stop trying to justify this letter and instead get to its emotional heart – however, I feel I must first note that I don’t wish to instill in you a sense of obligation to write a letter in reply if this experiment of mine turns out to be no fun or antiquated or otherwise fails.

Dear married guy,

My guess is you let your wife decide everything in your married life, from what car to buy to what part of the city you should live in, just so you can blame your own mediocrity and incompetence on her for the rest of your life. By the time you realized the scope of your failure in life while flipping burgers in your late 20s, it was already too late to go back to blaming your parents, so you found an easy substitute in a woman whose only quality seems to be that she has a willpower greater than yours.

You should have grown some balls and took control of your life while you could. But it's not too late for you to at least take responsibility for your own actions or passivity and stop playing a victim of a middle aged woman like an infantile pussy.

I hope you get your life back on track,
Jesus

as for the emotional part you have to be as honest as possible. talk about her appearance at a minimum, since you are writing a letter im guessing you want her to feel emotionally appreciated. if you cant think of anything to say about her personality then you probably shouldnt be writing her a letter.

its unavoidable, you are going to have to be emotionally vulnerable in order to even send this. simply tell her what aspects of her personality it is you appreciate. women love being told how theyre pecieved, the positive and the negative. you have to be as honest as possible. talk about her appearance at a minimum, since you want her to feel emotionally appreciated. tell her that you think about her.

Dearly beloved,

I feel you know me, even though we've never met. I think I'm just crazy for having removed myself from society for the better part of a decade. When alone with my thoughts, you're the centerpiece. I do unhealthy things to distract me from you. I sometimes even create things to make me hate you, for we can not be together. But you still make your way through. There's no way you can know I exist, but I feel like I affect you ever so, most times for the worse. If this is true, I can't keep doing this to you. Please forget me. But I don't want that. I want to not be with you on the astral plane. I need to be with you in the physical world. I'm tired of this metaphysical relationship. I want to know what love is. I want to be with love forever. But for a short period of time, I want to hold love with my arms, not just my mind. That will feel real to me. I must be insane.

Possibly insane,

ok how is this

Since I have met you, the world has taken on the quality of a dream. That is, I see and do things that are too wonderful to be explained, and yet I do not ask for explanations. My old self, the one who hasn’t met you, would certainly be asking questions like, “What does this all mean?” and, “Why is this all happening now?” And sometimes these questions do bother me. But, like someone being woken from a pleasant dream, I shoo them away and return to sleep.
I know the “world as dream” analogy is clichéd, but I now see that there is a greater truth to simplicity than I had previously acknowledged. For instance, I never knew the definition of the word “warmth” before, one night as I was walking home from your apartment through a blizzard, I compared my icy state with the comfort of your bed and your arms. Borges wrote something about this which I now see to be true:
“I believe that words must be conquered, lived… Nobody should dare to write ‘outskirts’ without having spent hours pacing their high sidewalks…”

Partly the fault of woman. And illegality of prostitution

When males hit puberty their bodies tell them the most important thing to do is have sex, and this is more and less unrelenting,

So by women making men jump through so many hoops and many men having a difficulty even getting to that stage, to have sex, men grew tired and annoyed with this, or resented women for the difficulty of having sex, and began to not care about women or see women as women, but only as this difficult game they have to play, like those videos of Crows and stuff who solve complex puzzles for treats.

If men could have sex whenever they wanted sex would not be so overwhelmingly anxious, and man could calm down and return to viewing woman as a human. And not a tricky game one must constantly defeat for a prize

Really you never knew what warmth was?

The problem is you are trying to be poetic but you are taking all the sweet and sexy and lyrical and whimsy out of the sensual and romantic poetic ideas and means of saying them, and making them dry and boring and long winded,

Then you need to muse like you are a professor : or you are writing a memoir: I believe words should be lived yada yada

i can't recall having a female friend before her, so i don't think i had a conception of how things would realistically turn out.

(The wonderful things you see we assume to be her, and how she has changed your views of the world)
My old self, the one who hasn’t met you, would certainly be asking questions like, “What does this all mean?” and, “Why is this all happening now?”

( Showing too much weakness)
(I was a scared lonely pathetic loser before I met you )
(Take that part out)


And sometimes these questions do bother me.

(Remove above)


But, like someone being woken from a pleasant dream, I shoo them away and return to sleep.

(Still going on about how you were insecure)


I know the “world as dream” analogy is clichéd, but I now see that there is a greater truth to simplicity than I had previously acknowledged.

( We are all just having fun and mean no harm anon we want to help and will, you will have a letter and love)
(That could be rewritten like, which is why you were compelled to call it a dream, you want to say like, being with you is like the most pleasent of dreams, the idea of a dream girl, I can't believe you're real, I'm so happy I know you, I love you, I want to send all my time with you, I think about you, you make my heart leap,

And here's where the first paragraphs ideas come from: I never thought I would meet someone like you

You have the right ideas but your wording is just a bit overwrought and clunky:

I never thought I would meet a girl as wonderful as you, I did not think my dream girl could exist, I could not imagine a better person to know, I am so happy and lucky to know you, you complete me,

And maybe there is the something to being sad that you could not find your love, you can say you were sad growing up looking around at all the women and sad that none of them matched you so well, that idea is why just like that the fireworks of happiness that you do know her

( I mean how real is this love, are you gonna marry her, does she feel this way of you, never mind all that)

For instance, I never knew the definition of the word “warmth” before, one night as I was walking home from your apartment through a blizzard, I compared my icy state with the comfort of your bed and your arms.

(You can say that in a smoother way, it is a poetic idea but written awkwardly and prosaic: I have never known a more meaningful warmth then in your bed and arms, walking home in a blizzard how I saw everything clearly, away from you is icy hell, with you is heaven,

Borges wrote something about this which I now see to be true:
“I believe that words must be conquered, lived… Nobody should dare to write ‘outskirts’ without having spent hours pacing their high sidewalks…”

(It's tryhard for the sake of tryhard, it's trying to appeal to a common thing to get away from yourself having the do thinking and feeling and expressing, like: you know how you live Starbucks, I believe I read on a Starbucks blackboard once.... )


( Talk about possible future plans maybe , maybe write a real little cute sweet romantic poem at the end, I can't wait to see you again, to hold you, to look in your eyes, to kiss you,
The other thing is you can't bit be yourself because then she may be expecting someone you are not, or if she likes you for you, maybe she accepts your writing regardless. .. now that I'm thinking about it that Starbucks thing wouldn't even be bad, because it wouldn't be tryhard, my poetics aren't tryhard because there is an aire of playfulness and silliness to them, that may seem to then be insincere or empty, but the letter would not entirely consist of them: it is a weird hard tough thing, the degrees of formal and informality you wish to include, and keeping it consistent to your character: yo babe shall I compare thee to a summer's day,

I start by writing several rough drafts to flesh out all my ideas. I then rewrite it in one consistent piece and read it out loud to myself, to check for pacing or structural issues and length. After that I write another version with the finalized structure and usually do some basic editing for spelling and punctuation. I'll usually sit on this version for a while reading it everyday for a few days to see if it still resonates with me even when I'm in a different head space. If it does then I pull out a nice pen and practice my penmanship until it's clean and consistent and gets across everything I want her to know. I especially exaggerate my g's and p's and q's and y's, so she knows I want to fuck, like pic related. Finally, I'll put pen to my finest stationery and write slow and deliberately to make sure that it's readable.

Unless you're already romantically involved and she's given an indication she's into this sort of thing, I really cannot recommend it.

what an awful fucking letter. seriously, sorry anon but you are talking about how pitiful you are the whole time. If you can't respect yourself, what good is your love to her? she'll think you are pathetic.

Talk about her in a lofty sense, be poetic in your view of the world. make her blush. Sure, other anons will call you gay- but to men women are gay as fuck ie. they literally suck cock.

You need to exude confidence, make her feel like you are mysterious and make her want to know more about you. sound more interesting and disguise the fact that you are a giant faggot

It’s all I have to bring today—
This, and my heart beside—
This, and my heart, and all the fields—
And all the meadows wide—
Be sure you count—should I forget
Some one the sum could tell—
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.

SONNET 29” BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Here we are again, my love. You are holding my words in your hands, I am holding your heart. You can still see the red of my blood in the ink, I can feel your heart beating. Faster with every word. You are almost breathless. It's OK, you can turn around and look and see if I am there in the corner, it's just the coat rack. My coat, the brown corduroy, is not there you will note.

Close your curtains. Take the kettle off the stove. Wrap grand mother's blanket around your shoulders. It's cold tonight.

I wrote this letter for you as you were on the way here tonight. I couldn't stay so I will keep it short. I know you are around the corner now. I will leave as soon as I finish writing. A moment too short with you is a torture, imaging and anticipating our next meeting is pure delight.

And so I steal away from you, but not your thoughts. I know that you will forgive this absence. I will be back at dawn. You will be asleep and I will unlock the door and close it quietly so as to keep you undisturbed. Your pajamas of wool will keep you warm until my arms are tightly around you. You will sigh without waking as my warm breath flows over the cold little hard on your neck.

The wind will be at my back as I walk back to you, up the hill where your house sits next to the old great tree, spared by your grandfather's ax.

Read your book now. These words are nothing but whispers. But maybe as you fall asleep my whispers will be still in your ears.

Goodnight love.

Are you the op or at least the one who posted the previous 2?

Also I don't think this is homework you should have waited last minute to do, you should carry around a pad and pen in your pocket at all times with you for days and write down all the thoughts ideas symbols hopes wishes dreams yearnings desires related to her, then weave them together nicely .

"Here we are again, my love. You are holding my words in your hands, I am holding your heart.
You can still see the red of my blood in the ink,

(Here is room for expression, you stated an idea, expand on it, make it more, use the thought to make another.... As I write, I imagine my finger tracing these letters on your bare back, I imagine tracing these letters on your neck, on your lips with my tongue, ... There now she has a reason to begin to consider to start to maybe possibly be breathless)

I can feel your heart beating. Faster with every word. You are almost breathless.

(Again stop sprinting through,.... That stuff is good but build it up more... I can feel your heart beating against mine, .... I can feel your breath breathing with mine, our bodies are in harmony living together,. We become one, and when we separate I become less)

(I think the opening few lines are quite good I like it, only thing I'm questioning here is why a few words in,without very much grand exhilarating poesie you are presuming she is already cumming from your words, perhaps it's wishful thinking, perhaps you really are just that good)


It's OK, you can turn around and look and see if I am there in the corner, it's just the coat rack. My coat, the brown corduroy, is not there you will note.

(This is where it gets a bit weird for me, and you should maybe consider slowly ng down a bit, you are rushing and rushing to fill the page, now you are insulting her intelligence, your first 2 lines are so tangible that you assume she must think you are there , I'm sorry I mean no insult but the little cheap shots I take partly motivate me to continue this ....

My coat,... In case you are as dumb as I think you are , it's the brown courdaroy one, remember, yeah it's not there, these are words, I know it seems I'm here but I'm not) ( it's OK , why am I yelling OK at you) just seems unnesccerry filler and a bit silly


Close your curtains. Take the kettle off the stove. Wrap grand mother's blanket around your shoulders. It's cold tonight.

(We go from sexy to grandma's blanket real quick ... I hope this is bait)

I wrote this letter for you as you were on the way here tonight

I couldn't stay so I will keep it short.

(I miss you)

I know you are around the corner now.

(My heart is traveling there to meet you, I can never wait)

I will leave as soon as I finish writing.

(This is a dream and you are my coming true)

A moment too short with you is a torture, imaging and anticipating our next meeting is pure delight.

And so I steal away from you, but not your thoughts. I know that you will forgive this absence. I will be back at dawn. You will be asleep and I will unlock the door and close it quietly so as to keep you undisturbed. Your pajamas of wool will keep you warm until my arms are tightly around you.

(Many hugs and kisses)
(of all the cliches that's an acceptable one)

You really got into the flow of things at the end, from now on you just take more time, the more you think about her if your feelings are real and true, the more you write all thoughts down, easier it will be, after the pressure of first letter is over you can write cute little fun love notes, a few lines about anything

Just ate a bowl of berries and they weren't as sweet as you, but made me think of what I was missing, see you later darling dear, with infinite love

Thanks for the review. I'm not op or anyone else previously posted.

To explain the hasty feeling of the letter it's mostly intentional as I was trying to keep with the pretense of the letter being written quickly running out the door.

The second thing to note is that the letter is written in such a way as to give contradictory feelings. You read the letter and assumed that I knew the person, that she knew me. Now read it again with the hidden second theme that I am a stalker and she doesn't know how I am. Nowmthe corduroy jacket and the grand mother's blanket and the cold *hairs on the back of her neck are supposed to.be chilling and ominous.

I was hoping it could be read both ways anyway where the writer could justify everything in his delusional state as a normal letter to his love but every word of it would be horrific for the recipient who would realize some stalker was just in her house.
