Netflix,
Hello, it's me. It's January 24, 2016 at 11:07 PM and I just went to sign onto my account. I see you've ended our relationship; our whirlwind month is over. You left me with no warning. I feel abandoned and betrayed.
When we started this relationship on Christmas Eve, I saw you as nothing more than a winter break distraction. You caught my eye with your "free month" advertisement and I never anticipated on you meaning more to me than just an episode or two, but as we spent hours together laying in my bed, I grew closer to you and became dependent on your company.
You knew me better than anyone with your "Best Picks For You" recommendations. It meant so much to me that you knew exactly what I wanted. When I was feeling sad, a comedy was just a click away. When I was feel nostalgic, "The Office" was waiting for me in my queue.
Your communication made me feel important. You always checked to make sure I was OK when you asked "Are You Still Watching?" hours after my eyes had glazed over.
On lazy Sundays, you were there. In between classes, you were there. On sleepless nights, you were there. You were committed to me; no breaks and no commercials. Now, when I want to watch my favorite shows, I'm competing with shampoo commercials and local weather updates.
I thought what we had was special. I thought the time we spent together was enough for you, but in the end, you wanted more from me than I could give you: $7.99/month. Maybe one day our paths will cross and I'll have more in my bank account to offer. Until then, I hope you're making someone else happy.
I'll never forget the times we had and I'll never know how Parks & Rec ends.
xoxo
Love always,
Me
