Dearest D,
Although we are currently not together, I still care about you just as much as I did when we were still dating. You definitely changed my life for the better. Although we had our differences, you helped to teach me all about compromise. You helped me to learn that it’s okay sometimes to put other people’s wants and needs above my own. However, you also taught me when to stand up for myself and be an advocate for what I believe in. You taught me to take care of myself before I go and worry about others. You taught me to be confident with not only my body, but also to be confident with my personality. You helped me to realize that my worth is not founded simply by what others think or say. My worth and value does not decrease based upon the inability of other people to recognize my worth. Yes I may not be perfect, but I am perfectly okay with my imperfections. You have truly helped me to become more comfortable with who I am, and I can’t thank you enough. I am glad that we are still friends. I value our friendship. I am glad that I can still trust you and count on you to be there for me when I need support, encouragement, a shoulder to cry on, or just a friend to make me laugh. So thank you. Thank you for teaching me along the way what I want in a man, and what I deserve to have. I wish you the absolute best with the rest of your journey of life. I hope you find the woman that you also deserve to have.
With all my love,
A
