Hey there everyone,
Here are two letters that I wrote with the inspiration from the musical Bare. I decided to replace the characters from the musical with the ones from Sailor Moon; Usagi (Serena) and Haruka (Amara). I have chosen these two as I felt they had the closest relation to the characters within the musical. Usagi is a popular girl who made a mistake and now is having to deal with some pressuring issues. Haruka on the other hand is finding the way to tell her parents that she is gay. I didn't choose Michiru due to the fact that I feel she would fit in better with the role of Haraka's character's partner who although is gay still flirts with the other sex and hides his sexuality. I have put the letters under the names of the songs that particularly helped me with the writings.
Hope you like =D
ALL GROWN UP
Dear Mom,
Things have changed for me here. I don't know how to tell you. I wish for the days when things were so much less complicated and innocent. You wouldn't believe how quickly I have grown up. Life has taken me on a path that I'm unsure I have the strength to carry on. If only I had learnt to stop. Now I don't where to go. People think they understand what I'm going through. I can't tell them, I don't know how to tell them. Just the same as the trouble I am having in putting it down in words for you. There's just this unknown ball of emotion that is swirling in the pit of my stomach and I just don't know how to deal with it. I feel so responsible. With all that you have done for me I feel so horrible and selfish, If only I had been able to control myself. Dad had every reason to be as protective as he was. Where am I to go? Can I even come home? I'm pregnant and I don't know how to look after this child. How am I supposed to love it mom? Not when it has ruined my life and yours. I'm only a girl. How can a 17 yr old girl manage a baby? I'm so close to graduating. I haven't had a chance to live my life. I can't get rid of it though. It would be a sin to do so. All of this pressure – I don't know how to cope. Will you be there for me?
Love
Usagi
SEE ME
Hey
There's something that I need to tell you. I'm sure you probably already know what I am about to tell you, but I think I need to get it out there and in the open. You know that I love you and if there was any other way I would take it. But I can't stop my feelings. I would really love it if you were to come here and see me. I am so scared that you'll turn away once I spit the words out. I don't expect you to fix this for me or anything; I just need you to be there to understand for me. I've been waiting to tell you this since I was 12. I just have never been able to put the words together, except for when I'm in solitary prayer. This is so hard to say. Mom, I've searched for the answers on my own… but it seems the only option is the one end, the only option in which I am happy. Michiru and I… we are in love. I am a lesbian mom. It's not a phase; that is something I am absolutely clear on. Please see me as soon as you can.
Always
Haruka
