To You, Dear Doubt, Whom This Concerns The Most
Of all the times you’ve held me hostage to your whims. Placing the weight of unbearable sarcasm and the most pathetic of jokes.

Stale Mate
Dear my friend, who needs to listen to my every word. I am done. I’ve finally had enough of it all. Now is the time to pack it all in because I can’t stomach it anymore. For hours I wait to be greeted and yet you pay me no attention. The moment I wake I am full of energy, ready to start the day and yet you have no time for me. Why bother in the first place? Do you even bother to look at me?

"Gentlemen - ladies - I wash my hands of this madness". Content Warning.
To My “Beloved” Students, Congratulations! You’ve done it. You’ve finally broken me. I am officially resigning from my post as your glorified babysitter, unpaid therapist, personal Google, and the human embodiment of “Why do we even need to learn this?” Effective immediately (or earlier, if the urge to run screaming into the woods becomes too strong to resist), I am taking my red pens, my lesson plans, and the last shreds of my dignity (and sanity) and walking directly into the sunset. Or traffic. TBD.

The Great Brexit "Reset": A Tale of Fish and Friendship
In a stunning display of diplomatic gymnastics that would make even the most flexible contortionist envious, Britain and the European Union have finally agreed to a "reset" of relations. After years of Brexit-induced hostility, the two sides have decided that perhaps being at each other's throats wasn't the most productive approach after all. Who would have thought?

Resigning From the Role I Never Applied For
Dear Friends, Acquaintances, and Emotional Freeloaders: After much soul-searching, three sleepless nights, a half bottle of Cabernet, and one highly unnecessary loop of Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All”, I, Anthony, am officially and unequivocally resigning from my unofficial, unpaid, and unappreciated position as Everyone’s Reliable Rock, Personal Therapist, Emergency Lifeguard, Calendar Adjuster, and Default Cheerleader.

Dear Cupid, I Hate You. Honorable Mention in I Resign From… Challenge.
I don’t want to be a hopeless romantic anymore. To be a hopeless romantic, you must have hope, and I’m running out of it. I have been for a long time now.

Dear Vivacity
Dear Vivacity, Please except this letter as my resignation from the position of loyal hostess, the mad hatter of scapegoating and mistress adjudicator to the adjudicated. Effective immediately.

To Whom It May Concern, I'm Done

A letter to the system that was never built for me. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
I resign. No, this is not your traditional resignation letter. There are no two weeks’ notice from an unapologetic soul. No pretense of gratitude padded in euphemisms like “new opportunities” or “a fresh chapter.” No cordial signing off. I am not resigning from a company, a role, or a team. I am resigning from a system. A gaslit, rigged, suffocating machine built on structural racism, misogyny, false meritocracy, and a cycle that asks me to prove myself at every turn, only to be punished for succeeding.
