Not Your Average Love Letter

A cliche twist.

Not Your Average Love Letter
Colin Sullivan

“Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt” -Kurt Vonnegut

To begin we must make some clarifications. A notice of love, or writing of love, is to be able to express your passion of something through words. We choose to fall behind the safety of our words to hide from the reality of actions. We choose to write about the things we are passionate about. We choose to love these things because they make us become more aware than we once were. I was told before, “every piece of writing is a love letter.”


Comfort Found in Discomfort

To be aware of a place where it all means nothing,

to also be where everything means too much.

Sinking deep to where anxiety resides.

Unknown to the human’s toes below.

A state at which reality seems intangible.

Trying to grasp the fading firmialtiries

to the comfortable feeling of hatred.


Fear lurks through the dream,

Ingrained into us is the known feelings.

Anxiety has at last become apparent,

for the devil has grasped tighter before.

Where everything hurt.


Where we locked ourselves in to see,

To see the pain others had missed,

Coming closer to a defeat by our misery.

We fell to a point where it was easier being hurt,

Than to realize all the beauty.


A sacrifice has become a way of living.

Where we forget how to love,

we forget how to be the person we were,

to solely enjoy the unknown.


To allow ourselves in,

to allow ourselves to be standing

face to face with our biggest misunderstanding.

Our unknown has become everything,

everything we were searching for,

and everything I was running from.


Consumed in a place of discomfort,

where our brains are unraveling,

and our fingertips crave more,

craving more than just the keys below them.

Satisfying the thrill of honest ignorance,

gained knowledge overpowers our fears.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
