Dear Netflix,
I think it's time we part ways. I have spent far too much time with you lately, and you haven't allowed me time for myself or my other obligations. My homework misses me. My friends miss me. My family misses me. My life misses me. I really just need to return to some of the things I did before you came into my life.
We have been through a lot -- ups and downs, twists and turns, basically everything. You have seen me smile, you have seen me laugh, and you've seen me cry, but I cannot let it happen anymore. You have a show for every mood. Whether I am having a bad day or a good day, you always know what to say. You provide me with some of the best therapy. I know I can turn to you, but I think it's time we find a new way to cope with my stress. Not that you are not good enough, but sometimes you are just too good. You make me forget my problems rather than deal with them. I need to learn to face them head-on rather than you taking them away without even resolving them.
Thank you for being there for every breakup, every lost friend, and every failed test. You have truly seen me at my worst. Without you, I would not have watched "Fuller House" and gotten that laugh I so desperately needed or realized that things will get better. I also would not have watched "Glee" and realized that there is a song to relate to every single moment in my life. And finally, I would not have been able to watch every single Disney movie ever made when I needed to be reminded that I was a kid at heart even if I was growing up just a little too fast. Thanks for all you have done for me and all you have shown me.
Thank you for supporting me when I was on top of the world. You helped me celebrate some of my best moments so far. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to watch "Friends" because it kept my good mood going. I wouldn't have been able to watch "Law and Order SVU" when I felt like I solved my own problems so I could solve the world's problems. And finally, I wouldn't have been able to watch all of those comedies when I felt like giggling with my friends. Thanks for letting me be on top of the world and celebrating with me.
I didn't want to have to do this, but I think it is time. I need to return to the things that miss me, my homework, my friends, my family, and my life. You have done your part in my life, and it is time for you to touch someone else's.
I love you, but let's break up.
XOXO,
Your No. 1 Fan
