My First Love Scammed and Catphished me: An Open Letter To “Andres Garcia”

When “you” reached out to me, it made my heart flutter. I thought for the first time I had found someone with whom I can relate. Our conversations were real for me, and I know it’s not even a day that we’re chatting with each other, but I had always been the hopeless romantic kind of guy. When someone showed me kindness, especially appreciation, I just can’t say no. It may have been built on lies and deception, but that was the first time I felt I was loved (in a way) and valued. I enjoyed it while it lasted, not the way I was expecting it to unravel and end, but I learned a valuable life lesson.

Thank you!

An open letter to my father who celebrates his birthday today.

(things I want to say but I just can’t)

Happy Birthday, Pa. I hope you’re doing well. I hope you enjoy your day, your special day. I’m so sorry that I am still unable to fulfill my promises to you and our family. I know you’re expecting so much from me (as am I) but circumstances happen and I’m so sorry. I wish my situation is different and better now but it’s not and I know it’s my fault and I’m sorry for that. I still hope to give you that dream that we have for our family but right now I’m sorry. This is one of the reasons I can’t come home because I don’t have the courage to face you and mom. I feel so ashamed that I am unable to provide for our family. I’m so sorry and I hope someday we’ll still have the time to spend together and just be happy.

I hope you enjoy your day, Pa!

I don’t say this very often but please know I love you and I really miss you.
