Dear Netflix,

The relationship I have formed with you over the past few years is unlike any other relationship I've ever had. No matter what mood I am in or how I am feeling that day, I know I can find something to watch when I open that app on my iPad. If I am in the mood for adventure, you are full of options, if I want a sappy love story you've got that too, and even if I want to learn about something as random as all the different types of frogs that live in the rainforest, I can always find something that fits my needs.

One of my favorite things about our relationship is how everything is based on what I want. I know that is entirely selfish, but in a world full of compromises, it is nice to know there is somewhere where things will always go your way.

But, this relationship is not always a happy one. I still get offended when you ask me, sometimes multiple times in one sitting, if I am still watching. Yes, I am still watching. I am always still watching. That has got to be the most annoying thing about you, except for when the internet doesn't work or the credit card on file expires and I forget to change it, both of which send me into instant panic mode.

Finally, I want to thank you for bringing so many stories and characters into my life. I have gotten lost in stories that I would have never come to love if you didn't exist. I have grown to love characters and become so involved in their lives that I get emotional when something happens to them. Sometimes, I just need an escape from my daily life and you help that escape become a reality.

So, thank you for being that friend that never has other plans and that is always okay with doing what I want to do.

Ally
