To the Ex Who Took my Rake and Won't Give it Back

Are you listening, Jenifer?

To the Ex Who Took my Rake and Won't Give it Back
TellWut

This is an open letter to the girl who stole something of mine. Something that is terribly hard to replace. Perhaps it is so hard to replace because it is the only one I have. I suppose, now, "had" would be the more appropriate way to put it. Haven't had it since you entered my life.

As this year begins to enter the autumn and the leaves clothe the bare ground, I can't help but feel a change come over my mind as well. I just can't help, but be reminded of you. This fall will certainly be the toughest I have faced. For that, I have you to thank...

Give me back my fucking rake, Jenifer. I said you could borrow it. BORROW. Not fucking keep it. These leaves are gonna start piling up soon and I need it returned immediately.

Just because we broke up while you still had the rake does not mean you get to keep it. A break up doesn't mean you bequeath all my items in your possession. You gave back my sweatshirts, it's not that hard to return a god damn rake either. Don't tell me to buy a new one. I already bought one. The one YOU stole.

It's not like you still need it. Last time I was over I saw, like, three other rakes right next to it in your garage. Why do you need it? Why did you ever need it??! You have three other rakes, Jen. Are you starting a fucking collection or something? Three rakes is the stopping point for you. You already have enough for dual-handed raking, plus an extra for good measure. Four is just letting the situation spiral out of control.

If I'm being honest, I doubt those other three rakes were yours, too. There is no way I was the first. Knowing you with the knowledge I have now, I probably won't be the last either. To you, I was just another pawn with a soon-to-be-unkempt yard, you kleptomaniac cunt! You rake-hoarding whore. You have total disregard for anyone else's yard work that has to be done. Complete lack of empathy... Sounds a lot like you're a psychopath, to me. The only yard you care about getting raked it your own. Go figure.

Larceny is a crime, Jen. A CRIME. I don't want to sleep at night knowing I used to spend nights at a criminal's safe house. Don't do that to my mental health.

Next step is civil claims court, Jenifer. The ball is in your court. Or should I say the rake is in your yard. Give it the fuck back.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
