April 6, 2019-- Crispy Oven-Baked Fish in Letters to my Friend

Dear Friend,

Here to hoping that you’ll return some day! <3

When I found out that you deactivated your account– you’re taking a break, I really did cry. But it’s okay, it’s all sentimentality. I don’t need anything further from you but your presence, but of course I want more than just your presence!

I hope you’re doing well. Is there something going on?

How am I going to feel close anyone else anymore? I’m proud to say I don’t have a crush on you (you know, the therapist-crush)! No I don’t. I dealt with that a long time ago. It baffles me how the one person who has done more for me, emotionally at least, than anyone else ever and by far so, is someone who is not in my life at all, except via online messaging.

I am not dependent. This is not co-dependency. I’m so proud to say that. You taught me to be independent.

Someday I’ll find a love of my own, but I wonder, how would I feel closer to someone else than to you? Because of you, now I’m having a much easier time opening up to people. But you were there listening to me when I had a really tough time opening up. That meant so much more.

I’m gonna cry again. You would never believe me, but I still occasionally cry happy tears pondering memories of you. But you wouldn’t believe me. But it’s better that way I guess.

Alright, here to hoping you’ll return. I’ll be checking in pretty often.

Love you,
Your fangirl.
