ReplyDeleteDear mom,
I know i've been your baby for 16 years but it's about time I moved out, got my own car, and got a job. First of all, the fact that I have my own place doesn't necessarily mean that I won't get to see you, it'll just mean that I won't constantly nag you when I want to buy something or I need to go somewhere. And just imagine, with the house to yourself, you can go out every night, and the bills (electric, water, etc.) will drastically decrease if I'm not there hogging all the
resources. Think of how happy you'll be with me gone and all that privacy to yourself; also, this gives you the option of moving to a bigger house.
In order for me to achieve all my goals in life, I have to have the freedom to pursue those goals and God knows that as my mother you only want the best for me. Do you think Kobe Bryant could have made 81 points in his game if he stayed with his mom? Could Bill Gates have become a billionaire if his mother kept him in the house, preventing him from being the best he could be? I say
nay and I also say that I can't become the greatest I can be until I leave. Mom,
you were an excellent mother, but it's about time I lived my own life.
With love,
Dylan McNamara

Dear Rosa,
You have been my housekeeper for the past 2 years and since the first day where you cleaned my room it has became a great relationship. But I have issues about our current state and feel that I must fire you. You first have caused me to lose many of my assignments causing the lowering of my GPA and I have also become dependent on you to clean my room on daily basis.
There is a positive view that comes with this ending of our business affairs. One is that you do not have to face the constant nagging from me on where my stuff was put or being the scapegoat of a lost paper. You also do not have to face the mountains of papers that have stacked up on my desk over the past weeks, which should bring a physical and mental relief to you. Another positive aspect will be that there won't be the awkward tension that you our taking my responsibility of cleaning my room. Rosa the way you should view the ending of our relationship is like baby bird leaving the nest with all the knowledge and materials it needs to have a profitable life, which came from the tasks that you dealt with when you worked for me.
Dear Facebook
ReplyDeleteOur time has come to an end. Over the past few years our relationship has strengthened but I find that as I grow as a person I must become independent and realize my full potential. Its time you stop holding me back and wasting my time. 9 out of 10 times I do better on my tests or quizzes when I have the will power to avoid you. You are a constant distraction therefore I my membership to you is over. You’re engrossing news feed updates have caused me to ignore my homework and this has negatively impacted my GPA. You have only served to do me harm. What have you given to me in return? I subscribe your service but you give me nothing, all you receive is attention and I receive nothing. Our long nights spent aimlessly have crippled my independence and in order to blossom in to the mature happy person that I can be I must terminate our account. However, you will not miss me and this is potentially the most devastating fact of all. I compare our relationship to that of a child and a toy. Facebook, you have grown bored of me and you have only hurt me and therefore I must toss you aside in order to grow as an individual.

Dear Taco Bell,
Our affair is one that has lasted way to long. Years of constant meals have provided my heart with pain, but my mind with joy. The taco's, burrito's and quesadilla's cause my consience at constant guilt that my body is ruined. Your dear Chalupa may only cost $3.19, but my health is priceless. Driving by I may take a glance, thinking about your delectable foods and remember our affairs. But no longer may I be traped under your hypnotic presence. Constant heart trouble indicate our time has come. The Taco Bell chiuaua may say your the best, but I know you better. My lonely night may drive me near but my fat prevent me from reaching you.I still may not know what I may eat prior to school,but I must leave even if I starve. I must compare you to a man and his dog, constant love and time is spent together but when the dog will attack the neighbors child, he will only leave you with a lawsuit. But in my case a poor and unhealthy body to live with. Today, let it be marked down in history, that I, Sepahdar Hosseiniyar is secedeing from Taco Bell. Your tainted love will no longer control me.
