Anonymous Letter

I'm not the only writer in my circle. I have other friends who enjoy writing as well. One of my friends sent me this letter just because. Her reason behind the letter was for her to move on. Butterflies start off as caterpillars, sometimes you have final thoughts to say before you blossom. Once I read it I had to ask her if I could post it anonymously. No I don't just like sharing my friends business, I just know it may be other people who are going through these same emotions. I was super excited when she said yes. Well below is her anonymous letter. Promised her I'd keep it confidential so that I will. I'm super proud of you girl, keep glowing and growing:
"A Letter to My Ex
Thank You. So as the new year approaches I thought that I’d say thank you to those who have had some sort of impact on me but in the midst of writing all of those thank you’s I couldn’t help but realize that I forgot one of the most important people. You. I still don’t think you quite understand the impact you’ve had on me-- by far the greatest of them all. For so long I questioned how someone could say “I love you” but hurt me a number of times. I forgave you, I kept forgiving you and to be honest, I still forgive you. I get it. I don’t doubt that you loved me because honestly, I believe you did. You just were incapable of loving me the right way. Let's be honest, i’m a hell of a woman. I come full ocean. My love, my heart, my mind and myself as a whole does not come half-assed and unfortunately, you were incapable of reciprocation and that of many other things broke us.After so much pain you put me through the only thing I really want to do is say thank you. Crazy, right? I don’t want to cry, yell or scream because God knows I’ve done too much of that. Just thank you.While I do want to thank you for all the good moments and all of the times you made me laugh uncontrollably I really want to thank you for teaching me so much about myself unintentionally. You taught me how to differentiate the meaning of love and pain because for so long I correlated the two. Thank you for being a major part of why I lost myself because thanks to that I found purpose and came back even harder. Thank you for your actions following your “I love you” because I now know what it shouldn’t look like. You helped me realize the power, strength and intensity of my ocean and I now know not everyone is capable of withstanding that and some, like yourself, will drown. Although you may not be sorry, I forgive you. Although you may not care, I thank you for both the good and the bad.
PS: Whoever she may be, love her. Love her in every way you failed to love me. Every girl is deserving of that, ya know? Blessings to you and yours."
