Dear Diet Coke,

I love you. There, I said it. I know it does not come as a surprise, but I still feel like it had to be said. For the longest time, I tried to deny my infatuation with you. I told myself that it was just a crush, something I could eventually get over. But, as time has passed, I have realized that there is no use denying it. My love for you is obvious and runs deep.

You are always there for me when I need a pick me up. If I am feeling tired or worn out, I can always rely on you to have my back. Whether it is once a day or five times a day, you are my constant companion and support system.

While I love you dearly, recently I have been sensing some issues. Even though I love having you to lean on, I feel like I rely on you for everything. Because of this when I do not have you I feel an immediate crash. I go from being on top of the world to the bottom of it. The high is incredible but the low is horrific and leaves me feeling empty inside.

Also, I can sense our relationship becoming toxic. There is something about you that scares me. I love you right now, but I feel like, in the long run, you are just going to cause me pain. I do not know if it is your caffeine or aspartame, but something about you does not seem right.

It is because of all these reasons that I believe we need to break up. It's not you; it's me. I cannot handle this relationship anymore, and for my overall health, it needs to end. I really hope that we can still be friends or see each other casually, but this obsession needs to end. I wish you all the best things in life!

Love,

Rachel
