Whether our demise was on you, on me, or both of us, is irrelevant. Things just didn’t work out, and that’s okay. I don’t hate you, resent you, or regret you, and anything negative that happened between us, never crosses my mind anymore. On the contrary, some random small things will still remind me of you, and I’ll smile about it. You’ve given me things that I’ll always have not only as memories, but also as a part of the person I became.

You’re the reason I learned what it’s like to drive a lifted loud diesel and what it feels like to go 120+ in a camaro.

You crossed swimming with dolphins off of my bucket list with me and experienced one of my favorite bands of all time in concert.

You shamelessly grabbed my hand and danced with me in the middle of a bar, and laughed at me when I got your truck stuck in mud in your backyard.

You’re the reason I went to a sunflower field for the first time in my life, and taught me how to shoot clay birds in your backyard (even though I epically failed at it).

You’re the reason I lived a full life when the rest of the world shut down in 2020, and know what it feels like to slow dance next to a lake at sunset.

No matter the length of time we were together, you’ve given me more than you can possibly imagine, and for that I can’t thank you enough. You’re all in my life still in some capacity, and whether it will stay that way or not, I will always be rooting for you. Seeing your relationships, kids, jobs, growth, progress, doing better and being better, have always been things I love to see.

You’ve impacted my life in more ways than one, and I appreciate all that you’ve given me. I wish you nothing but the best, and I genuinely hope you find the happiness you greatly deserve. Thank you for being a part of my journey.
