DEAR QUEEN PROCRAS TINA
Dear Queen Procras Tina, I’m sending this letter to formally resign from my position as your protégé and Senior Procrastination Specialist. I know it’s customary to give two weeks’ notice, but I’m making my exit immediately. This job is sucking the life out of me, and I must go. My writing career has suffered under your tutelage. My last day is today.

I resign from being poor.
This morning I woke up and thought: I really don’t love being poor. I'm a single dad, with primary custody of three kiddos. I'm very thankful to finally be single and I love being a dad! But, man, kids are expensive!

Hostess Cupcake Motherf*ckers
When I was in college—lo, nearly twenty-seven, twenty-eight years ago maybe—I shared a dorm room with a big Black dude with dreadlocks who smoked a lot of grass. Dude was cool to me though, man. We used to have a good laugh at our lily-white, bourgeois fellow students and their often sanctimonious and totally naive worldview, which usually amounted to wearing their sanctimonious, woke—or whatever you call it these days—hearts on their designer sleeves.

Untitled Public Service Announcement. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
May 30, 2025 To whom it may concern, To Ms. Ferguson, To her. To you, To me, I don't know how formal or informal this should be. I've done a resignation letter twice. Both times I was bitter yet restrained. I tried to be respectfully disrespectful. I was calculated and careful with my word choice. Desperation was my motivation for both resignation letters. Though the forces driving each period of desperation were so drastically different. Financial stagnancy vs emotional exhaustion. No chance for lateral movement vs being paralyzed by grief and failure.

Stepping Down From My High Horse
I am writing this letter to officially announce that today (May 29, 2025) I am stepping down from my lofty position atop my high horse. Effective immediately I will no longer be gazing down upon you, the unwashed masses, in disgust, as I point out the many ways you have failed and fallen short along with the seemingly endless number of things which I do better than you.

I Abdicate the Throne... . Content Warning.
Dear Universe, I am over this toxic reality where pain is inevitable and hatred reigns supreme. As an empath it is just too much to endure, feeling the emotion and energy from all around unbearable with this level of cruelty and stupidity. I resign from shouldering everything that you keep piling on my shoulders. You can take this bullshit, twisted reality show version of reality and fuck right off with it! I am done! It hurts too much to keep feeling it all, to keep seeing it all! My heart is aching from the unending trauma you have put me through since childhood and instead of giving me a fucking break, you shove fucking hot pokers into the scars.
