Open Letter....

[RyanBooks]

So, I am not sure where I should put this... not really sure why I picked here, but it seemed like as good of a place as any. I am not writing this to any particular person on here, nor am I necessarily looking for any feedback. I guess I am just want this to be therapeutic for me, and the anonymous-ness of here I find soothing.

Open Letter to.......

I am not always good with words, especially the spoken type. So, while it might seem odd to write this to you in a letter I am hoping that I will be able to communicate exactly what I am trying to say and avoid any ambiguity or confusion.

I know lately that I might have seemed distant. To be honest, it seems both of us have been distant. I can only imagine what your day must truly be like working from home and taking care of a family as well. I know your are always needed by someone, and I am sure that at the end of the day you just want to relax and not be needed. I get that, I truly do. I might not always show it, and sometimes I probably attribute to the need.

I want you to know that when I try to touch you, when I tease playfully (or at least what I think is playful), it isn't me trying to say or suggest that I now need something from you, but rather me attempting (albeit poorly I guess) to say, that I want you to relax and allow me to please you.

When I want to kiss you all over your body, it is because I want to show you how much I crave you and want you to know that I find every part of you desirable. When I touch you (yes, I know it tickles and you don't like that feeling) I want you to know that I want to explore every part of you, because I find you so attractive and desirable. I want to help you feel excitement in areas that maybe you didn't know you would get aroused and excited, because they just haven't been explored yet. I want you to be able to let go, and allow me to make you feel sexy.

I know there is a lot on your mind, a lot you are always thinking about and worrying about. I guess I have not done a good enough job to take those worries away. I am sorry. I will work at being better to deal with those things first, and not be consumed about why the bedroom is happening.

Thanks for letting me write this here. Please return to other more exciting threads.

Another open letter

Good idea for a thread, RB. Here's my open letter...

Dear ex, and anyone else who is seeking to abdicate responsibility for their own happiness,

I was not successful in making you complete and happy in every way, and I know you still hold me responsible for your continued unhappiness two decades after we parted. Your attempts to control the people around you do not appear to be achieving the results you desired. I'd much rather let bygones be bygones, and see you happy and civil when we happen to meet in social situations.

I am much happier not being totally responsible for another person's happiness. I've decided to only have close relationships with people who don't associate love with ownership, and who understand that happiness often takes place because of an internal decision, not the world conforming to what you want it to be.

I also discovered that sex is much better when it is not associated with psychological ownership of another person. Monogamous sexual commitment can become a prison, especially for people who have a high libido and an active imagination. I did not "cheat" when we were together, but holy Jesus, did I ever think about it.

I hope you will read this, and make an internal decision to free yourself from the poisonous bonds of resentment and unrealistic expectations for others. I would love to know you again as an interesting and content person.

All of a sudden I'm reminded of Livejournal.
