Dear High School Relationship,

There's many ways in which this letter could go. It could be a rant of all the negative and sad things that happened, it could be about all the good times as well. But instead this is, without a doubt, a thank you.

In high school, we make many mistakes. We don't quite know who we are yet, and we pretend that we know what we are doing with our lives. During these four years, we are unknowingly learning from our mistakes.

I wanted to thank you for all the good times shared, the memories, the happy times, but I also wanted to thank you for the bad. I learned from the good times that putting your happiness above the rest matters most. I learned that making the people you love smile, is one of the best feelings in the world. This will help me in my future relationships with family, friends, and other loved ones.

Thanks for teaching me a lot about myself as well. I now know what I want in a relationship, a significant other, and I know what I deserve and don't deserve. This has helped me so much in finding who I am, and thank god I did.

I also learned from the bad, though I am not angry anymore. I find much more peace within myself when I just let things go, and I am so happy. Releasing grudges and just accepting that life has moved on, has brought peace within myself tremendously. The bad taught me how to be strong, to trust my instincts, and how to cope with different kinds of pain (including heartbreak).

Thank you for showing me what it was like to care for someone as if they were family, for teaching me that it is okay if things don't work out, and for being there for me when I had no one else.

For the memories -- there were so many precious memories that will be cherished forever.

I am so happy that I could take away many things from this past relationship, and learn from it. Though it has ended, I have so much ahead of me in my life, that it puts a smile on my face to look back on the good. I am so excited for what the future holds and cannot wait to reach my goals, and see where life takes me.

Farewell, high school relationship, and thank you for a wonderful time.
