Dear Netflix,

Thank you for never leaving my side and for always being there for me when I need you the most. Thank you for helping me unwind after a stressful day and for being the only thing that I want to come home to after a night out. Thanks for making me laugh, making me cry, and for always keeping me guessing. Sometimes, it seems like you know what I need even when I don’t know.

I love the way you kindly suggest the shows that you know I will like and you always put on my favorites before I even have to ask. You never judge me for the hours I spend on my couch or the endless junk food that I eat while I’m cuddled up with you. You are the reason why I run straight home from class when the day is over. You are the reason why I sometimes stay up too late on school nights. I always just want a little more time with you.

I love how my friends adore you and you’re never mad when they come on our dates. Even when you upset me, I still want to be around you. Usually, when I keep watching, my anger goes away. Thanks for never making me wait more than 10 seconds before you turn on the next episode and for never bothering me with pesky commercials. Thanks for all that you have to offer. Whether it’s a chick flick that I’m craving or a documentary, you’ve always got my back. You always have time to spend with me and even when the internet connection is bad, you come back after a little buffering. Without you, I would be lost. I'd be much more productive, but definitely lost. So, thank you for being my favorite distraction.
