Dear Ex,
It has been a couple of months since we have last spoken. I don't know what you've been up to, but I hope you're doing okay. I don't check up on you anymore since I have completely removed you out of my life. If you're wondering how I'm currently doing, I am doing great. My life has honestly been the best it has ever been in awhile. I am finding things that make me happy, enjoying life, and "loving myself" more and more than I ever did.
I don't ever regret this relationship we had. As a matter of fact, it has taught me so many lessons. The times we spent together were amazing and you made me so happy for that time period.
But I just want to thank you for playing a part in my life to get me to where I am today.
Thank you for making me happy
You have tried absolutely anything and everything to keep me happy on a daily basis. You sent me cute text messages, you cheered me up when I was at my lowest point, you bought me food no matter how much I wanted to pay for it, you bought me gifts to show me how much you appreciated me, you acted like a little kid with me when we went on the slide or on the swings, and you loved me. While all of this made me happy, it was only temporary. I have come to realize that I can be happy by surrounding myself with people and things that make me happy. I no longer have to rely on you for my happiness.
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me for me. I was able to be myself when I was with you, and you liked me the way I was. That has made me believe that it was possible that someone is capable of falling in love with me and I know it bound to happen again in the future.
Thank you for breaking my heart
I have to admit for the longest time, the idea of not having you was just a "dream." But not only have I gotten over it, I have grown to be a better and stronger person because of it. I will no longer let anyone walk into my life and let them manipulate me and walk over me. Because of you, I have grown into a better person and realized that I was not worthy for you and I thank you for that.
Thank you for leaving me for someone else
"Forever" doesn't always mean forever, and when the time comes, the person who says it won't ever leave for no one else. I will ever tolerate lying, sneaking around, and breaking promises. I want to thank you for making it obvious to find out. I can do so so much better than you and I can't wait to find out how happy the "right one" is going to make me.
Lastly, thank you for making me realize that there are more important things in my life
Right after you left me, I put all my energy into my friends, family, and my school. With the comfort of my friends and family, they are able to make me so much happier than I ever was and I am striving my best in school. I am on the road to becoming a Math Teacher and I know I have a great future ahead of me. There are so many important things in my life than trying to save a relationship that could not be saved at the end of the day.
I put my all into this relationship and I did all I could to try and make you stay. But, sometimes things happen for a reason, and I believe that it was not meant to be after all.
I hope you find someone that makes you happy more than I ever could. Wish you the best on everything in your life and I hope you found "her."
Always,
Your Ex-Girlfriend
