I saw this at Jasmine’s place. It really spoke to me and she said it was a good writing exercise for her, so I wanted to do it, too.
- I really wish you would get your life together. I really worry about your happiness. Still, I am so proud of everything you have done.
- Do you know how much your words and actions have hurt me? They have done irreparable damage to my heart and soul.
- If you only accomplish half of what I think you can, you will have an amazing life.
- I don’t deserve all that is you. You deserve better than me.
- I don’t know if I can forgive you if you never say you’re sorry.
- I wish you could know what you have missed out on.
- I wish I could heal your pain.
- I miss you horribly. I think about all the things we left unsaid all those years.
- I hate the power you have over me.
- I love you so much.
I would do this, except 8 of my 10 things I would want to say to the ghost of Elvis, and that is between him and me.
I think it is a great exercise to do – and I KNOW I should do it, lol. I have a lot of things to say to people
Ooo… this is good. Except for the fact I see too much pain here. But then that’s what is usually so hard to say out loud. xo
I did this once, it was helpful for myself. It sucked having people ask which one was about them.
Interesting exercise. I think I am too chicken to have the people who read my blog think it was them.
This is very cool. I don’t know if I have the guts to do this one.
Ooh, I like this one; may have to steal it.
and Fab- Elvis is DEAD???
Awesome Shelli! I’m so glad you did it. Now don’t you feel better? And just think about all the money you saved not going to shrink just to get that off your chest. You can go out and get yourself a few pair o’ nice shoes for all the dough you saved.
Shelli I’ve read here long enough to almost know who those statements are intended for. Maybe they could be more than just a writing exercise…loving and beautiful, every one.
Fab–Yeah, about that, I spoke with Elvis and he said he doesn’t want you to talk to him anymore. The other people in Heaven are making fun of him.
Erin–You can do it twice. Or three times.
Finn–I am a rather dark individual, I guess. Fab tells me that, too. He wants me to go back to therapy. bah lol
Robin–I haven’t had anyone ask me yet. I’m crossing my fingers that no one will.
Lynda–Maybe it would help. If they thought it was them, they might change their actions.
Britt–It was kind of hard at first, but then it just started to flow.
Tug–Do it! And, sorry to say, Elvis is dead.
Jasmine–Yes, I feel better. It was awesome. Shoes and purses!
Kat–It was very cathartic.
Do you feel better after having written it out? Sometimes I wish I could be as brave as the people I read.
Fantastagirl–It did help. Maybe that’s the key to journaling. It gets it out of your head and you can put it away.
what a great idea. It let’s you express things that you are afraid to share. Did it help you gain confidence in saying these to people for real?
