To “My Person”...

We have really grown up and apart in the last few years but if there’s something the last decade and a half has taught me it is, that growing apart is not always a bad thing.

I see your successes. I see your struggles. I need you know that I am here for you through it all. I do think of you and I do check up on you via social media. I know that is a TERRIBLE way to know what is really going on with you, but it beats the inevitable fight that can occur if I text you.

I am still figuring out who I am as a person. Maybe that isn’t such a bad thing and maybe I will never really figure it out, but I think I owe it to you to find out before I text you with my excuses. As you very well know, I don’t do so well when you get treated like less than you deserve. I’m very territorial and protective of you. That type of behavior might have been OK when we were kids, but it is definitely not OK now that we are grown up.

I have some growing up to do but I thought you should know..

I am proud of you and I do miss you. I think of you more often than I am probably willing to admit. We are just in different chapters of our lives and it is probably for the best that we just watch each other grow from a distance.

I love you either way.

SIncerly, The Christina to Your Meredith.
