Dear Ex-Crush,

It's me again... yes, the quiet-shy girl who you had classes with back in High School and would eat lunch by herself. How have you been? It’s been a while since we've talked and a lot of things have changed.

We went to different universities; life took us on different paths and we lost contact with each other. You’re wondering why I say ex-crush, instead of crush. Well, that's because I've moved on. I grew up over these years, and I’m not the naive girl I once was. Remember that girl? Probably, but hey. We've grown up, might as well forget about the past; am I right?

You hear that once in a while people ask what so-and-so is doing now that they've graduated from college or even high school. But you don't really care all that much, do you? If you think about it, it won't change what happened back in the day or your perspective on anything that went down. You wonder, what happened to the sweet, weird, girl who you heard about?

Well, I grew up.

I’m still the sweet, weird girl but I’m no longer naive. I have scars from what life has put me through, from school to losing those who were close to me. I might seem colder, but that’s only because life has done that to me. I’m no longer letting anyone walk all over me, or spending time hoping that the people who I have crushes on would like me back. I’m at a point where in my life that I feel content and I am proud of what I have been through. That only shows that I am a strong and I can handle anything that life throws at me.

That is why I say "ex-crush" because I have finally moved on from you. Yes, I will always have feelings for you, but I’ve moved on fully from the hope that you will ever like me back. I've been moved on ever since I walked across that graduation stage and I am finally at peace with myself.

I hope you are too.

Sincerely,

The girl who's no longer weak.
