Dear Buffy,

Hey Buff,

I've been struggling lately with social stuff, but I'm trying really hard. When I was younger I always had amazing friends, and I felt strong and confident, like I was destined to help others- like you. Now it's almost my birthday, and I'm turning older like Giles years old. Now I'm more like Dawn, surrounded by a crowd of amazing, strong, super, magickal friends, and I'm the weak link, the damsel who needs saving, the zeppo. It's hard to force myself to leave the house and be social when I don't feel as if I deserve it. I'm stuck in my own shyness like everyone was stuck in your house after Dawn's wish to Halfrek that no one could leave the house.

If the apocalypse happens, beep me.

Dear Buffy,

Hey B!

I feel so lonely and stuff lately. Part of that is my own fault. I'm isolating myself, like you did in season seven when you didn't invite your friends in, like they were vampires. I feel like I'm hiding inside myself, like my body is my own dark crypt and I'm hiding from the sunlight because it would fry me. The dark thing about it is, I'm kinda enjoying the isolation. I hope I don't start craving blood anytime.

love you,
B

Dear Buffy,

Hey B!

Last night I watched the episode "Consequences" right after "Bad Girls" where you are trying to cover for Faith and help her. You're such a great friend. I feel like I'm kinda a combination of both you and Faith. I'm obviously not like Faith morally (well I hope that's obvious) but the feeling of being lost and excluded and like I don't have any friends. I'm like half lonely insecure slayer, half sweet, spunky, striving to do the right thing at all costs slayer (that one's you.)

love you, B
B
