Dear You,

It's been a while since we talked last. I wonder how you're doing sometimes; what you've been up to, what you've achieved, what you've done. I hope that everything is going well for you. I want the best for you because at one time, you were the best for me. We shared so many things together, and I had convinced myself that it was going to last forever. Things change and people grow, however, and we had decided that going our separate ways would be the best thing for each of us. Of course all of the fighting that lead up to that point definitely wasn't what you or I wanted at all.

I'm not writing this letter to get back at you or to tell any of the secrets you shared with me to the world because I thought you wronged me when we parted ways. I'm writing this letter because I finally have come to terms with the fact that we are no longer with each other and probably will never be again. If I were to try and write this letter to you even a month ago, I would find it hard to find any words at all to want to say to you. After all of this time, I'm finally ready to tell you what I should have told you while we were still together.

I love you, and I always have. But now, it's a different kind of love. I don't have any romantic feelings for you anymore, especially after all of this time, but you were such a big part of my life that if you walked up to me on the street tomorrow and asked me if I could help you out, I would drop everything to help in any way I could.

I miss you, but only a little bit. What I miss the most is the memories we made together. We had so much fun together. I will never forget the time we spent together. But, everything comes to an end eventually, and our time was up after three years of memories. I hope you revisit those memories every now and then and smile when you think of the good times we had together.

I want the best for you and I mean it. You never settled for anything less than great when we were together. You were (and probably still are) a perfectionist. I thought it was silly sometimes that you wanted everything to be as perfect as possible, but you worked so hard to make even the smallest details near flawless and it sure shows now. You're absolutely fantastic and I know that you are going places.

Thank you. Without you, I don't know what I would be doing. You pushed me in the direction that I should be going, and I couldn't thank you enough for that. When I was struggling with various issues through our relationship, you were right there for me to offer whatever support you could. Sometimes it wasn't the support I wanted, but it was always the support I needed.

I feel I have so much more to say to you, but summing it up to these most important points is only what is necessary. Know that I truly mean everything that I say in this letter to you. You made an impact on my life. I hope I made an impact on yours.

Wishing you the best,

Me

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
