Disclaimer: I have nothing against those who have chosen to write a letter to their ex. I just noticed that the letters were becoming more and more popular and I wanted to make a rebuttal. Not because I don't like the letters, but because I feel like my two most previous exes don't deserve that type of attention. Instead, I want to bring attention to the damage of their cruel words and the unloving actions brought forth. I want to highlight the betrayal and the denial.
1. I didn't write a letter to my ex-boyfriend telling him that I'm okay and that I hope he finds someone good one day.
Because really I'm NOT okay.
2. I didn't write a letter to my ex-boyfriend telling him that I've learned from his mistakes or that I'm thankful for my heartbreak.
3. I didn't write a letter to my ex-boyfriend praying that he'll miss me later on or asking him if he's sad I'm gone.
4. Instead I wrote about how he did me wrong: the dirty names he called and the ugly fights lasting long.
5. Instead I wrote about all the disappointment, tears, and hurt that came from his betrayal and all the anger, shock, and rage that came from his denial.
6. Instead I made a new statement.
A statement in hopes to remind him that sorry only goes so far and forgiveness only lasts so long.
7. A statement that the memories last me forever.
No matter how wrong.
8. I didn't write a letter to my ex-boyfriend because I'd hope he'd learn to be better.
9. Instead I wrote a listicle rejecting the "letter."
