Letters to My Past [Part 2]
Dear [Her]:
I know the chances of you reading this are slim to none but there are some things I need to say to you before I can completely let things go. If you do somehow glance by this letter, please read all the way to the end so you can learn all of my feelings.
The first thing I want to say to you is Thank you. Thank you for all that you did to me, and for me. You were a great friend while it all lasted and though a few bad things happened while hanging out with you, you were the first to really accept me when I moved here. I learned from you that I shouldn't trust someone with everything until they've reached complete and utter "Best friend" status and I don't think anyone ever will. You've helped me re-evaluate almost every decision I made throughout high school and for that, I believe I'm a better person. I know how much to trust new friends, old friends and even our mutual friends. Thank you for helping me understand the ways of the world at such an early time in my life.
The second thing I want to say to you is that I'm very happy for you. You did what you did because you were looking out for number one and that's fine. Though I didn't agree with anything that you were doing at the time, I look back now and realize it was all for the better. I understand from mutual friends and bits and pieces I find here and there on the internet that you are doing just fine with your life, and I'm glad you've found inner peace. I'm glad that your relationships with your friends and your "mate" have lasted so long, as many of my friendships from high school have fallen apart. I think I'm actually a bit better off without those people, but I'm glad they can still find a friend in you.
I suppose that the final thing I want to say to you is good luck. Good luck in your future, I hope you are happy with your choices, be it children, marriage, career choices, whatever....I hope you are generally happy and I honestly wish you no ill will. I realize that this letter is kind of childish but I've been thinking a lot and figured this may be the best way to deal with the angst and dislike I've always felt towards you in the back of my head. I hope you are a happier person for the decisions you made in your life, because I am....and I hope that you live a long and happy life with your one and only.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
