Dear Sydney

I want you to know that I bless you and furthermore that I thank you. I saw that picture of you kissing your rebound guy on Facebook and I want you to know that I am happy for you. The thanks is the more important part of this letter though. Ever since you broke up with me I decided this time would be different so I have looked up youtube videos and books on the power of positive thinking/ the power of controlling what you can control. At one point I would have seen a breakup as a curse but I see the breakup we had awhile back as a true blessing. I have a new girlfriend as of today. I am one step closer to finding true love (whether its my current girlfriend or perhaps someone else is irrelevant, I am finding her and thats that!) and the realization that I don’t have to let anyone control my thinking/ attitude has been quite powerful.

I would also like to take this chance to say that I’m sorry. No this isn’t an apology for anything I’ve done, I’m apologizing that you feel the need to have what is presumably a rebound boyfriend and I would hope that some day you will find love rather than continue the path called loneliness. I’d like you to know that you’re only hurting yourself but if you want mediocrity in life that’s your call. Many blessings and thank you for everything that has come from knowing you. I believe all things work for good and if I’d never known you I would never have worked on improving myself so much. As for you you’re doing what you think is best for you and if you really think it’ll make you a better person go for it I suppose.
