Thank You For Letting Me Go
To whom it may concern, This concerns everyone. Anyone who will listen. To everyone I’ve known before and everyone whose path will cross mine in the future. To those I’ll never know personally, but whose unwitting reading of this becomes like gum on your shoe, following you home. Like deja vu, again and again when you least expect it.

Open Letter of Resignation. First Place in I Resign From… Challenge. Content Warning.
To whom it may concern, and it should concern you, I resign. Not from a job, or a role I ever applied for, but from the unpaid, unchosen, unrelenting labor of constantly proving my humanity. I resign from being the translator of my existence, the shield for your discomfort, the crash test dummy for your delayed empathy. I resign from surviving the world you made me walk through just to ask, politely, if I could be seen.

Vacillating No More… Or Will I?. Top Story - May 2025.
Dear Brain (or whatever may be in my head), We both know what this is about. Ever since I was an ugly little thing which passed off as a human child or possibly Cthulhu’s long-lost cousin, I've always had difficulty in making choices. I can't make the quick decisions like everyone else; you know, like normal people can. It’s a battle to decide on one thing or the other, be it something inconsequential or something serious with disastrous outcomes.

I Resign From Being The Other Woman
I resign from being The Other Woman. The Other Woman is not only somebody’s mistress. She is the woman that husbands stare at across the shoulders of their wives. She is who wives despise and girlfriends fear. The Other Woman cannot engage in a conversation with a man without him finding any way to reference his wife, his girlfriend or another woman he is dating. She is mocked for her beauty and viewed as a side quest that will only lead to the real treasure. Essentially, The Other Woman is the woman who is never chosen first.

Dad, I’m done . Content Warning.
Dear Dad, I can barely breathe, knowing you don’t want to be my father. Before you ask, this wasn’t a supposition. I reached out to you and you gave me all but the love I wanted, the acceptance; a promise that you would never make the same mistakes again.

I Abdicate the Throne... . Content Warning.
Dear Universe, I am over this toxic reality where pain is inevitable and hatred reigns supreme. As an empath it is just too much to endure, feeling the emotion and energy from all around unbearable with this level of cruelty and stupidity. I resign from shouldering everything that you keep piling on my shoulders. You can take this bullshit, twisted reality show version of reality and fuck right off with it! I am done! It hurts too much to keep feeling it all, to keep seeing it all! My heart is aching from the unending trauma you have put me through since childhood and instead of giving me a fucking break, you shove fucking hot pokers into the scars.
