It may not be her real name, but if the person who I write this to sees this, will know.

Do you remember? Back when we were 10/11, you bragged endlessly about having gone to that massive play in the city. The 5-hour-long one with tickets beyond expensive? You acted like you were better than me and our other friends. It was all you talked about, not in a nice way but in a way that shamed us for not having the money to go.

Well, I want to let you know that I have just performed my first night officially as the lead this very night. Yes, your favorite character is being played by me this season and no, I won’t ever forgive you for all of the bullying, gaslighting, and manipulation you put me through. As for the actor who played this character when you saw it, the person who you said you loved. He happens to be my boyfriend. I write this not to brag, but to show you what you ruined. If you hadn’t been the asshole I knew, then it could have been you up on that stage alongside me. We could have done everything together, but you don’t know what that word means.

Oh, also I’m a boy now, so that happened. But I will never recover from the trust and self-esteem issues you gave me, no matter how hard I work.

An old friend
