So I kind of poured out my feelings and thoughts in a letter.  It was in response to a conversation that was initiated by the other person. And nothing from them, dead silence.  Not a ‘that is interesting’, thank you for sharing….nada. Why do I do this?  And why can’t I just let it go? So there was no response, so what.  I am not responsible or in control of what anyone else does.  Still, being ignored is the worst.  Dead silence is the worst.  Makes me feel less than, less than valuable, less than heard, unacknowledged.  Ok, I know I cannot look outside myself for my value.  I understand that taking anything personally weakens me as a person.  Still, I fucking hate being ignored.
