The series finale of “My So-Called Life” aired 20 years ago today, and we do not intend for the above headline to come off as hyperbole. This one episode of television — called “In Dreams Begin Responsibilities,” a nod to Delmore Schwartz’s 1937 short story by the same name — features everything fans loved about the cult classic: crushes, betrayal, confusion, #realtalk, stolen glances and so much Jordan Catalano.
It also gave us … The Letter.

However dumb it seems to ride off into the suburbs with Jordan Catalano, it’s Angela’s mistake to make, and that’s the beauty of being 15. Relive The Letter below:
