My dearest sketchbook,

You are a piece of me that I take everywhere. Between your soft white pages, you hold my drawings and rambling thoughts. You hold ticket stubs, stickers, grocery lists, and tea stains. Though I have had many sketchbooks before, each one takes on its own meaning as I fill it. At this point in time you have only 3 pages filled, yet you hold so much promise. The pastel blue pigment of your covers makes you shine within the abyss of my backpack. When I peer into my bag, I see you as a light beckoning me to set you free. During my free hours, I relish the time to create worlds, emotions, and people. My beloved canvas, without you I feel awkward. I reflexively reach for you when you're not there because in your absence I am incomplete. Your design is so simple, yet elegant; no spiral notebook could compare to your allure.

All my love, Sofia Banuelos

My Dear Bear Friend,

As I sit in front of my keyboard, my thoughts drift to you, my faithful companion, through thick and thin. Oh, how lucky I am to have you by my side. Your soft fur and gentle eyes always comfort me when I'm feeling down.

The first time we met was at my birthday party. To some, you may be just a simple bear doll, but to me, you mean so much more than that. You are a Jellycat, you are a listener, and you are also someone's stand-in. In a world that can often feel overwhelming, you, in your quiet way, see me through the joyous moments and the difficult ones.

My dear bear friend, as I pour out my feelings on this page, I realize how much you mean to me. You are a precious companion and an essential part of my life. You have always been with me, witnessed my hopes and fears, and provided me with comfort when I needed it most. Through it all, you have been unwavering in your love and support. Although you may not be able to express it in words, your presence means a lot and reminds me that I am never truly alone.

Here’s to you, my dear bear friend. Thank you for always being by my side, and may our bond grow stronger day by day.

With all my love,

Zirui

Dear Anime Figure,

Thank you for always being by my side along with my keys. I never forget to take you with me whenever I go on my long drives. You keep me company when I am lonely. You are always listening to me chatter. I love your haircut. The way your eyebrows curve brings a smile to my face. Your little figure never fails to make me laugh. You remind me of my favorite anime, One Piece. It takes me back to the hours I have spent enjoying the show. When I think about you, great memories come to mind. You awake the memories of the time I and my friends went to an anime convention where we had a great time. You evoke the emotion of the laughs and delight of specific moments during that event. I will never leave or trash you because you are that important to me. I wish you were life-sized so I could hug you. You are the love of my life.

Love,

Harry

Dear Apple EarPods,

I thank you for all of the music you bless my ears with. The songs that you play directly into my ears are able to create a soundtrack for all the memories I make. From the joyful and to the sorrowful memories, you have accompanied me with your songs as you have permanently linked certain songs to memories in my life. This makes a truly nostalgic experience of listening to songs associated with memories as listening to these songs can give a reminder to when I first heard them and listened to them on repeat. This brings me back to everything going on in my life from my experiences and to the relationships being made in my life when I listened to these songs as I can feel like I am stepping back into those memories when you play these songs again. I am eternally grateful for the memories we have created and will continue to make.

Your grateful friend,

Jacob

You’re my closest friend. I can vent to you, celebrate special moments with you, and rely on you to cheer me up when I’m alone. Your sturdy pages endure the weight of my emotions, your cover is a welcoming invite to my ideas. Your contents employ my materials, constant companions and travel buddies. My pencils, markers, pens, and stickers need you to have purpose in their life, just as I do. Without you, I wouldn’t know how to cope.

You provide me with a sense of pride and joy, as if you are my beautiful husband or a brilliant child. I love to admire my creations, frequently visiting old pages bound by your metal spiral. I love to show you off. You are everything to me.

love,

Lily D

Dear Basketball,

It's been about 18 years now and I still can't get enough of you. On days where I don't feel like playing with you you seem to draw me back in like the green goblin mask on Spiderman. Building a relationship with you has taken me places around the country that gave me the best experiences, like that summer in Florida, you were acting crazy but for the most part we had a good time. The sound you make when you bounce up and down from the fingertips of my hands is like music to my ears, you let me have my way with you. The feeling I get when I shoot you behind the 3- point line and see you glide through the net makes me feel like I'm on top of the world in those moments! Wish I could have told you this sooner but you know what they say, it's better late than never. You have had my heart since the first time I held you when I was 5 years old and you still will have it as time goes on. I can keep going on and on but you already know how I feel about you girl stop playing.

Love, Thuyler (T-$izzle) Hardy

My Darling Waterbottle,

Spending every day with you, traveling everywhere, and supporting me through brutal hardship and strife from mundane life has always been a blessing. From your metallic cool exterior and sleek portable design, you've captured my gaze and made me value your beauty. With each sip from your non-spillable straw, I feel freshness and renewal. Your pure distilled essence not only quenches my thirst due to lack of hydration, but you make me long for the essence of life itself! In your presence, I will forever find both solace and sanctuary from the immense chaos of the world, from dry mouth and sweltering summer heat; whether it is perched on my desk or accompanying me to the gym, I'll constantly be reminded of my constant, my anchor, my rock in times of need. I spoil you with stickers adorned on your cylindrical body and awe at the glistening water droplets that sparkle like jewelry when exposed to sunlight. So here I stand, pouring out my heart to you, my dearest water bottle. May your lid always be secure, your contents ever be full, and your love for me as boundless as the ocean.

Yours now and always,

Rod

Oh, precious little buds. How you have always been there for me for when I need and want you. Wherever I go I know you are there beside me.

Anytime I am with you I feel as if nothing else is around us. It just you and me. You cancel all others out and give me your full attention. Although, you may talk and sing a lot, I still listen and hear all that you have to say. Sometimes loud and other times just gentle, in your feelings.

I am always here to hold you and carry you with me in my arms. Protecting you from fall damage and from others taking you away from me.

There are days where you are out of my sight and lost. However, with my app on my phone I can see where you last were and I will find you so we can be reunited once again.

I hope you continue to open up to me more everyday so we can share experiences together wherever we go.

You may not be perfect to others but to me. You are all that I need.

Your one and only user,

Alan

Dear, gaming mouse

You fill me up with happiness whenever I turn on my computer, you light up with brightness. Whenever I hold you, I can feel you on my skin. You support me through my good and my bad assignments, the ups and the downs. Whenever I come home and see you, you are always waiting for me. The loyalty that you have for me is unmatched and everyday I love you more. Through my applications to apply for jobs you have always been there since day one. I’m incredibly grateful to have such a supporter in my life as you play a big part in my day to day. Because of you, I can do great things like win games and do my portfolio. Everyday you watch me win and improve. Thank you for being by my side always. I love you and all of your sides, my love. Xoxo, kisses to the end of the world, my whole heart, you deserve everything and more.

Forever yours,

Dear Nutmeg, seeing you relaxes me in ways I can't do myself. Without you, I'd be anxious about every sound at night. You are there for me when no one else can be. I love you and forgive you for all of the messes and destroyed objects. I wouldn't be the same without you.

You are worry free and the sight of you clears my own worries. I love to hold you and cuddle you for as long as you will let me. Your companionship is irreplaceable, I would be lonely without you. I love your face, I love how soft you are, everything about you makes me happy when I see you.

I have so many pictures of you, every picture a masterpiece in its own right. You are always in perfect poses, ready for the camera, like the model you are.

Thank you for being in my life.

Dear spotify charm of the song "0X1 Lovesong - TXT",

I want to remind you how much you mean to me. You'll always be my favorite song I'll ever listen to, and there's a reason I have a charm of you always by my side. You're the most beautiful and exciting song I've ever heard and every time I listen to you, I'm reminded of what love is, and how important it is in our lives, whether it be relating to partnership, family, friends, etc. Your hidden meaning relating to mental illness also puts me into perspective and reminds me that despite negativity, life is beautiful and that I must keep fighting to find the happiness that I want/need.

Love,

Nicholas

My dearest ring,

It pains me to think of the days that you were not in my life, for they were cold and dark. The world before felt like the deepest pits of a cave, no sunlight, no warmth, no hope. However, all of that changed when you came into my life, I gained so much. The ability to focus is very prevalent compared to the past, the tingles from your metal are unmatched by any other. I find it difficult to be apart from you, and when I am, I feel my memory becoming all fuzzy. My cat loves you as well, though I do apologize that you get whacked around often. I love how good of a pair we are, the hours you spend dancing around my hand will never be forgotten and will always be cherished in my heart. While I misplace you often, we inevitably wind up back together, and for that, I am forever grateful.

With love,

Your ADHD partner

My Beloved Truffle,

When the sunlight hits your eyes, they become the most beautiful color of brown. Like tiny little pools of honey. Although they smell like Fritos, I love looking closely at your small paws. I love how you have different colored nails on all of your paws. Some all black, some black and white, then some that are a mix of the two. I love to trace my fingers on the white spot on your chest. It might be in my head, but I think that the white fur on your chest is softer than the rest of your body. You always are relaxed and laying around the house. Either laying on your "throne" next to papa while he works, on the landing of the stairs with a clear view of the front windows, or sitting on one of the couches in your designated spot. Each of those places have some trace of you being there, like little scratches or worn out areas. I love how you are always there to greet me when I come home, so excited that you begin to sneeze. I will always love the memories I have made with you, and the ones we will make in the future. Although you won't be here for my whole life, I will always be there for yours.

Love,

Catalina

My beloved Laptop, my gateway to information. The instrument crucial to my creative process, my gateway to seemingly endless knowledge, some far beyond my comprehension. How you have guided me throughout the months, being sturdy and strong, able to withstand a mighty fall, and even with your cracks you desire to work just as well as before. Your glass may be shattered in the corner, and taped so your fine shards may not cut my skin. I cherish you even when your download speed may take what seems like eons when im trying to submit an assignment, or when you randomly close a program without prompting. Despite this, I’m glad for the times you download in seconds, or immediately back up my work. I promise to get you that screen repair soon.

Forever yours,

Michelle C

My Dearest Journal,

As I hold you in my hands, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all that you are to me. You may just be a collection of pages bound together, but to me, you are so much more. You are a sanctuary, and a witness to my innermost thoughts and feelings. From the moment I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were special. Your crisp, clean pages beckoned to me, inviting me to pour my heart out into your surface. And oh, how I have done just that. You have been there for me through the highs and the lows, the triumphs and the heartaches. You’ve held my dreams, my fears, and my aspirations, never once judging me, but instead offering me solace and understanding. With each stroke of my pen, I have etched pieces of myself onto your pages. You have become a reflection of my soul, a tangible reminder of my journey through life. And as I flip through your worn and weathered pages, I am reminded of the memories we have shared. You have seen me at my best and at my worst, and yet you have remained steadfast by my side. You have witnessed my laughter and my tears, my hopes and my doubts. And through it all, you have never faltered in your support. My dear journal, you are more than just an inmate object to me. You are a cherished companion, a silent confidant, and a treasured friends. Thank you for being there for me, for listening without judgment, and for holding my words and my heart so tenderly.

With all my love xoxo,

Addison

You’ve been my ugly fur ball for 2 years and I couldn’t ask for a better cat. Though you puke hairballs on the carpet and put your butt in my face while I’m trying to sleep, I know that you are just being a stupid cat, and I love you for that reason. As I’m writing this you are probably watching the birds chirp while bathing in the sun and I hope that you can enjoy everyday with me that I enjoy with you.

Your Dad,

Austin

Dear Microsoft Surface,

Thank you so much for not only being one of my most cherished friends, but also my strongest supporter. You have not only been there for me to encourage me to create joy for myself, but you’ve also been the one to push me into furthering my career as an artist. Without you, I don’t know where I would be. I’m so happy that you never leave my side, always there when I need you even if you need some time to rest and recharge. You are slowly getting older as the years go by, but I will always take care of you and make sure you as healthy as you can be. I can’t wait to see what more we do together, and what more you help me create. Because of you I have reached incredible goals in my life and I don’t plan to stop now.

Your friend,

Keaton

Dear Souvenir,

Whenever I see you I am reminded of the beauty you represent. How I long to experience the nostalgic warmth of our home again. You sit near me at all times, ensuring that I never forget our home. My tears of leaving that place increase as the years pass. However, you are here to comfort me. You are like a bottle of red wine; your value increases as the moments pass. I sit here now, remembering all of the great things you mean to me, and I hope that you never leave.  Please continue to be who you are.

Love,

Colton

My Beloved Toilet,

In the quiet moments when we're alone, it's as if time stands still, and it's just you and I. Your porcelain curves cradle me tenderly, offering sanctuary from the chaos beyond these walls. With each flush, you carry away not just waste, but also my worries and fears, leaving me feeling lighter, cleaner, and renewed. Our bond is one of intimacy and trust, built upon countless shared moments, both mundane and profound. You're not merely a fixture; you're my silent confidant, my steadfast companion, and the keeper of my most vulnerable moments. Thank you for being the unsung hero in the symphony of my life.

Yours always,

Rebecca
