The Letter Experiment
If you could write a letter to anyone, known or unknown, dead or alive, in your neighborhood, from a movie, a band, a play, a comedian- anyone- would you share it? Do it now. Just for this prompt. Letters should start out "dear (so and so)," and can be up to 500 words. Example recipients are many: Robin Williams, George Clooney, your father, your ex husband, Barack Obama, Marilyn Monroe, Mila Kunis, Jonathan Davis, the bus driver, the uber driver, etc. This is an experiment, not a competition, so shoot for likes but aim for your recipient. Details: This is a test of how much people enjoy letters as an outlet. Who knows, a future website may showcase letters from all over the world. But for now, write a letter (or two).

A letter to the One that Got Away

Dear A,

I really miss you more than ever at the moment. Sometimes I see you out around town, and you seem happy, and I'm happy life is going well for you. But sometimes I wished that you could've found that happiness with me. You were one of my best friends, the person I could talk to about anything, and now I feel like i've already lost you. This is somewhat my fault due to the fact I have distanced myself from you, but you just seem better off that way. Who knows, maybe someday we can work things out, and everything will go back to the way it ways, but at the moment I'm doubtful. I honestly wish that I could turn back time so I could fix things, maybe then I would be the one that you loved. I think in my heart a part of me will always love you, and although I wish to go back in time and have a fresh start, I don't regret the time we have spent together the past couple months, in fact I believe I will cherish those moments for the rest of my life. But I need to let you go, because the repititive cycle our relationship goes in hurts, being in and out of love is tormenting. I sometimes hope that we get another chance but it's rather selfish of me as I know we're probably better off as aquaintances, possibly even strangers. I really do wish you well, you deserve only good things and I hope you find someone that makes you happy.

Sincerely,

Izzy
