Dear ______,

It's been a while since we've last spoke, hasn't it? There were always things that were left unsaid. I have wanted to say so much together, but I could never find the courage or even the right words to make sense of what I had to say. Until now; this is everything I couldn't say before.

You were once my everything; I didn't think I could live without you. I thought I needed you to survive. It's been a while since we ended. I don't regret anything we went through, it made me stronger. Though you were slowly killing me, I stayed and stayed by you. Through cheating, lying, and thousands of tears. All of which you caused me to cry. Everything that we went through, made me stronger. So I don't regret you, or us. I just wish you were my true other half, rather than my toxic half.

You don't get to choose everything that happens in your life, you can only choose who is involved. If you didn't hurt me like you did, then I would never have become as strong as I am now. You may have been the one to destroy me, but you also strengthened me. You taught me that not everyone means what they say, but actions are a more accurate depiction of true feelings.

I never thought I would be thankful for what you did to me. I will never regret you. There are times when we think of all we went through and wish that I kept it at hello and kept walking. I know that without you, I wouldn't be as strong as I am now. I never thought that loving you with all I had, wouldn't be enough for you.You were the first one I let in, and you let me down. I know now that I can't take words so seriously. I never will trust someone's words over their actions ever again.

I thought you were my forever, my own personal fairy-tale. You taught me that life isn't a fairy-tale. So, I'm thankful for falling in love with you, and for trusting you like I once did. If I didn't, I wouldn't be who I am now. I'm not sorry for anything we experienced. I am grateful to have had you in my life, even though your toxicity made me think I wasn't good enough, that I didn't deserve the world. I know now that it was you who didn't deserve to even be a grain of sand in my world. I deserve to be treated like the queen that I am, and I will never settle for anything less again.

I hope one day you find someone who you aren't toxic to, someone who can help you change. Someone who shows you that letting someone in, and giving them you're all is worth it. I am no longer sorry that I couldn't be the person for you. You do not deserve to have any part of my life. I deserve so much more than what you did. So this is my good-bye. Good luck to finding someone who will love you like I did, and can somehow change you from the childish, heartless person; to someone who is worthy of being someone's entire world. I wish you well.

Sincerely,

The One Who Finally Realized You Don't Deserve Them
