I've seen these "open letter" articles a lot on this site – usually to exes or parents – and they usually get pretty... sentimental. So, I figured I'd try one out. I also just really feel like this topic is something that needs to be addressed. This will probably get very emotional. Just so you're prepared.

Here is my open letter to whoever decided to shut down Vine, and also to whoever said there would be a Vine 2:

To quote Kelly Kapoor, I have a lot of questions. Number one, how dare you?

I know I'm not the only one that still thinks about Vine all the time. There are countless compilations on YouTube (that literally have millions of views), I probably see at least one Vine thread on Twitter every week and everyone I've talked to about it feels the same way. It's been over a year since the shutdown, but I am, along with many others, still mourning.

Maybe it didn't bring in the most money. Maybe money is essential to run a business/app. Maybe this is true. But shouldn't the world's happiness be valued over profit? I'm just saying, I don't think anyone has ever done anything as selfish as what you did.

It doesn't even stop there. The actual deletion may not even be the worst part, which is insane because how is it even possible that there's something worse than the thing you love the most being taken from you?

Yes, I'm talking about the person who had the audacity to say there would be a Vine 2 coming out. Was that just some sort of sick joke? To quote (again) Kim K: If you know how I feel, why would you say that? Like you put me in such an uncomfortable situation like you know I'm not happy, and I'm trying to see if it'll work out here and I know it's not.

And it's not. There's been a void in my life ever since the app shut down, and I don't know if anything can fill it.

I miss Miss Keisha (RIP). I miss Jared, who's 19 and doesn't f*cking know how to read. I miss Trey, who HAS A BASKETBALL GAME TOMORROW. I miss everyone.

That's all. If a Vine 2 is actually happening, I'm sorry for this. If it's not, I mean everything I said in the worst way possible.

For all of my other vine lovers out there that are hurting, here's a quality compilation. Stay strong.
