Remember when?
While I was home visiting my family during the holidays, I took some time to clean up my bedroom. Rather…the remains of it. *smile* At any rate, I took out my little “box” that contained a bunch of letters from my girlfriends and old boyfriends.
I initially chuckled to myself because I couldn’t believe how much time we put into writing letters to each other in between our class hours. I mean, we weren’t talking about shit. The letters usually started off something like this:
Hey girl!
What’s up with you? Nothing much going on this way. I’m just sitting here in my 1st hour. It is so boring. What are you eatting for lunch? Did you see XXX today? He is so cute.
…and so on and so on. I’d usually get letters like this from the same person about twice a day. LOL *smh*
I came across a few letters from this one guy that I “dated” if that’s what you want to call it. It’s not like we were actually going out on dates. LOL I was like in the 9th grade. Anyway, he would start all of his letters off like this:
Hey sweetie or Hey Baby!
You were looking real good in the hall this morning. I wanted to kiss you so bad. Would you have let me kiss you? I love you so much. I think about you all of the time. I can’t wait to see you after class. Are you going to meet me at my locker after lunch? I’m going to ride down your street later on today. Do you think you will be outside? LOL
He learned at an early age how to push all the right buttons. One…telling me how good I looked and how much he loved me. LOL And he’d tell me this in every damn letter. LOL What’s even funnier is the fact that we really thought we were in love. There was no sex involved or anything. Maybe a kiss here and there. Other than that….not even any dry humping going on. LOL Life was so simple then.
I even came across a letter from this other little boy I dated. He was upset because I didn’t want to be with him anymore. *smh*
Hey “T”
That’s messed up what you did. I really liked you but you played me like a pootbutt. If you didn’t like me, all you had to do was tell me.
I’m not even going to go on about that letter. I fell over in a fit of laughter after reading that letter again. I remember falling over in a fit of laughter when I read it the first time. So wrong….so wrong. I know. I was young though. Shoot. I can’t help it if he was falling for good ole Brown Sugar at such an early age. I mean damn. I had it going on at an early age. LOL
I just wanted to share that with you since it was on my mind. Had to lighten the mood up a bit. LOL I’m sure I got more of a chuckle out of this than you did. LMAO
That’s when life was oh so simple LOL

I ain’t mad atcha. I got a grocery bag full of the same type of stuff and, sometimes, it’s good to reminisce just to get your laugh on.
Sounds like you have ALWAYS been a trip…lol!

I kept a box like that too for a long time until my mom’s house was flooded. The only thing left was a calendar from my senior year in which I recorded every “special” date with my high school sweetheart. I was screwin’ more than most married people, and I hear they have the most and best sex. But that was then. Que sera sera.
Glad you’re back. And keep your head up. Everything will work out just fine. Promise.
