Dear Jimetra,
me and Jimetra
It’s been awhile since we last talked on the phone, but every time we do get a chance, it is like a breath of fresh air because of your amazing up-beat spirit. It is amazing how we became better friends after high school. You are one of the sweetest people I know and a joy around. I know I will have a good time regardless whenever you do come into town and we hang out. Your sense of humor always kept me laughing and kept a smile on my face. Your words of wisdom have also helped me through some things and I want to thank you for that. You are a beautiful person – inside and out. No matter what you been through, with three beautiful girls and one more child on the way, shows that you are a strong woman who takes care of her family and does not let anything get in your way. I admire you for that.
Love ya Jimetra!
I’ll be calling you soon – I promise lol!

Dear Jackie,
my friend jackie
We have been friends since 2003 or so…met through our mutual friend, Nikki. However we have yet to meet in person since you live all the way in Boston and me in Georgia. You are one of the most down to earth people I know. We talk almost every single day about the craziness that surrounds our lives. It’s amazing how much our lives are similar. We always tell each other “only if you lived close by…” because I can only imagine the trouble we would get into. I remember answering this question that said “You’re drunk stumbling through the streets, slurring songs, who are you with?” and of course my response was you…but that haven’t happened…yet! We are just alike in so many ways and we are always keeping each other motivated with our goals. I call you my personal trainer because you basically coach me through times where I feel like I don’t want to push through a workout routine and you also challenge me to outdo what I am comfortable with doing. I may not be able to do a triathlon like you but I will do a 5k one of these days and dedicate that to you. You are a great friend and I’m glad to have known you all of these years. If we don’t get to meet up soon, I will see you around the time for Nikki’s wedding.
Will talk to you later today lol…
We are going on 405 text messages so far since Saturday according to my phone lol

Dear Saneva,
My friend Saneva
I am so glad that we have become great friends since the beginning ages of Myspace lol. I will never forget one of the first comments you put on my page “Thick: Only a dog want a bone” lol. Over the years we’ve gotten closer to where I feel like I can talk to you almost about anything. We have so much in common, it’s unbelievable, like we were separated from birth or something lol. I enjoy our many conversations from talking about teaching, to trying to live a healthier lifestyle, to our fascination with our hair, to the lames I run across, to the swirl movement lol…etc. I am so proud of what you have become over the years…God has truly blessed you. Just keep being the good person that you are and many more blessings will come your way. Congratulations on your new teaching position…I’m sure we will be sharing a lot more stories this upcoming school year and congratulations on meeting and marrying your other half in January. I can’t wait to witness that.
Love ya sis!

Day 7 – written July 4
Dear Ex-Boyfriend,
me and the ex
I remember back in middle school when we danced together at the Valentines dance…your friend asked me if I would go out with you and I said no and he went to the other side of us while we were dancing and said “She won’t go out with you man” lol. Well fast forward five years later to February 16, 2002 and that same question got asked to me once again, but by you this time. I didn’t want to say yes just yet for certain reasons but I did because I didn’t want to risk a chance of us not being together. I honestly didn’t think we would last but we lasted a very long time. You were my first love.
I have to admit, we did share some good times but we also shared some bad times. Our many, many wonderful and interesting experiences together, which shall remain between us, will always be memories I will forever remember. I thought you would be the one I would be with forever, but life took us on different directions. In the end, it all worked out for the best. I feel fortunate to still call you a friend. Some people can’t do that with their ex. I wish you the best in all you do and I know Gianna is in good hands with having a father like you.
Thanks for being in my life and thank you for being there for me.
Ti.Ti.
challenge, love

Dear Stranger,
You are now a stranger to me. I thought I knew you but it was all a lie. Who would have thought after all of these years of knowing each other, you are going to act this way toward me when I didn’t do anything to you. I’m going to keep this short because you are not even worth it. Just know that things may appear all great, but karma is a bitch and it will come back on you.

Day 5 – written July 2, 2010
Dear Dreams,
To my dreams, my aspirations, I feel like you are always so close but yet far away. Sometimes I feel like giving up on you, but I have to tell myself that failure is never an option. To fulfill my lifelong dreams, I am taking the baby steps to get there. There are times where I feel like that is not good enough but I do remind myself that taking baby steps are better than taking no steps. I also had to step away from some negativity in the form of “friends” so I can continue to stay positive and be able to reach you when the time is right.
I will admit there are some dreams that I had dreamed about when I was younger but there were situations that happened in my life to where I don’t want to follow those dreams. People tell me that I don’t want to go through life without those dreams in hand and deep down, I really don’t.
Hopefully one day, I will fulfill my dreams that I really want to achieve at this very moment and once those dreams are achieved, I will go about fulfilling the other dreams I have suppressed, deep down inside.
I will see you soon.
Tiana
