Hi frenemy,

I decided to write this letter to you not to bash or shame you, but rather to speak from my experience in hopes of saving other college kids from those of your kind. You are both the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me. As they say, you can't have something good without having something bad in return. When I first held you in my hands I told myself I wouldn't get clingy and that things would work out. I told myself I would have self-control, but I was wrong. I would say my tendency have never been as bad as some (i.e. Rebecca Bloomberg in Confessions of a Shopaholic), but I do have a little trouble budgeting.

I know this is a rude way to approach a breakup, but as Taylor Swift has said countless times, "We are never ever getting back together!" I'm cool staying friends, though. In fact, it would be really awesome if we were friends so that I can still use you. Our relationship for the past few years has been far too close, though. We were obsessed with each other, and frankly, that's just unhealthy. I'm doing us both a favor.

You were a really important part of my transition into adulthood. You could never be replaced. I am really grateful to have you in my life. Hopefully one day I'll feel more comfortable with you again and we'll be able to rekindle our bond, but for now, I need to go my own way.

Thank you for everything you've given me.

With love,

Siobhan
