A Letter/Message to Nostalgia
Hey.
How are you? Still at ____ University, going through your pre-____? Have you been doing well, helping out at the ______ volunteer group? Have you been going out more, finding new friends, having fun? Has life treated you well?
I'm sure it has. We haven't talked in almost nine months, there's a lot I don't know about your life anymore. But I'm sure your life has been going pretty darn well - I mean, I've had my hands full with some positive developments at school and I just can't imagine you not going through something similar. Life throws challenges and we rise up to meet them, right?
Heard early on that you found yourself a new boyfriend. I wasn't so lucky. But then again, I was the one who wanted to break up, right? I guess I got what's due. At the same time, I'm still pretty optimistic I'll find someone worthwhile - and I would have to guess that you already found someone who's worth your while.
We're growing up and growing in separate ways. I guess that's how life works. Maybe it really has been what's best for us. I guess I'm feeling nostalgic and that's why I'm writing this letter to you (or email, or message or what have you). Heck, I doubt you'll even see this. But if you do, I want to say thank you.
I've learned some things from when we were still together and a lot more things when we went our separate ways. I've been reading the Bible more, really getting into what I believe, finding out the fine details as to where I stand as a Christian. I hope you are too. I've also been figuring out what I really wanted out of a relationship and out of a girl - like how I my ideal girl seems to be someone slightly smarter than me, social, kind, caring, loyal, and steadfast in her faith and ideals. The type of girl who knows how to dress in just the right way, whose height reaches my collar-bone area, has dark lengthy hair that reaches the middle of her back (black or brunette), tends to wear glasses, and so on. That sort of thing. But I suppose that's too vague for most people to understand. That kind of girl could be anyone.
Maybe I should say my ideal girl is someone who isn't afraid to tell me what's on her mind, even if it might upset me. I suppose I want a relationship that strives to be as egalitarian as possible - share the struggles, share the pain, share the burden, and share the journey. Ha, look at me, turning this letter into what I want out of a relationship.
Once again, I know you probably won't read this. I'm not sure if you'll ever read this. But thank you for the learning experiences and for being able to live out something I might not have been able to experience otherwise.
Maybe this time, I can move on with some peace of mind.
Cheers.
