Dear-,

This is my last letter to you until you decide to get your shit together.

I've tried my best to help you. I've tried my best to be there for you.

Year after year, I've watched you make the same mistakes, over and over again.

You just never learn. I really don't know how else I can help you.

At this point, only you can save yourself.

I don't even know why I'm trying so hard to help you, despite all the shit you've put me through.

But I'm through with that.

I want you to see yourself for who you truly are.

Stop trying to fill the void with temporary fixes and find the root of the problem.

Life isn't merely about relationships. There's more to life than that... so stop fretting over that stuff and stop forcing yourself to find this thing called "love."

Let her go and get the fuck off this emotional roller coaster. I know you love her very much, but she'll never return your feelings. If I can move on from unrequited love, then so can you. So man up and move on. Best friends don't hurt each other, so I don't understand why you're holding onto someone who's causing you so much pain. Stop. Just stop. She's unhappy and you're unhappy. Just stop forcing yourself on her and let things be.

Guh... the rest... the rest, I'll leave for you to figure out. I'm tired of this shit. I won't baby you anymore.

Fight your own battles because I have my own demons to slay.
