Dear What Used to Be,

An act of closure you've probably never seen before.

Dear What Used to Be,

" You only get one, two TOPS,"- Darius Lovehall

" One what?"- Eddie Coles

" True love,"- Darius Lovehall

-Love Jones (1997)


Dear Him,

I used to write a letter to you every week to make sure we were on the same page, no pun intended. I wanted to open up in a way that was understandable and relatable. I also wanted to keep our communication in a good place. I wrote how I felt about us and sometimes just you, down on a sheet of paper I'd ripped out of one of my notebooks. I'd then give it to you when I saw you and tell you to read it when you were alone or sometimes to read it right then and there. Well, here's the last letter I plan to write that pertains to us. This time this letter comes with a bit of a twist because it's no longer a private matter but something I will share to whoever wants to relate. So here goes nothing.

Here's a short list of reasons of why I am the best you will ever have:

1.I went to God for you.

2.I made sure you found safety, love, comfort, acceptance, and appreciation in me.

3.I stayed consistent even when things got tough.

4. After the breakup, the disappearing act, the disrespect, and even the apologies I never changed on you.

The funny thing is, you helped me love myself even more than I already did. Especially going through the whole ordeal. By the end of it all you taught me how to leave you. I will always be grateful for that.

We both know that what we had was something you will never find again.

... I was the blues in your left thigh, trying to become the funk in your right...

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
