An Open Letter to The Guy I'm Over
Dear A,Do you know what's the most rehearsed sentence I’ve heard from my friends lately? HE'S NO GOOD FOR YOU.
To tell you the truth, my friends never really liked you. It's taken me all this time to find truth in what they were saying, but I finally did. Your partying ways may have been all the rage in high school, but you're an adult now. Grow the hell up. No one wants to see you sleep with your beer bong and go skinnydipping anymore.
The scary thing is, I always knew you were going to revert back to your old self. You had a pretty idealistic view of yourself, and that was the image you were hoping I'd see. So when you saw another attractive woman pass by, you'd secretly check her out, hoping that I wouldn't notice.
Um, hello. I'm a girl. We have eyes in the back of our heads. If you do something that's going to piss us off, we will find out and you will be grilled. I deserve someone who's going to respect me enough to only check other girls out when I'm not there. (Come on, I wasn't born yesterday)
And please, having to deal with the two of you is more than I'm willing to juggle. When I say 'the two of you', I mean you and your ego. Yes, your ego is so huge that it deserves recognition as a single object. You're more willing to leave me stranded on a mountain of barbed wire and toss me a cell phone than go in there and get me out yourself.
I know, it's your hair. You don't want to mess it up. God knows your entire purpose is built on it.
But I guess what bothers me most is that you're always walking in and out of my life. You've somehow managed to gain this twisted understanding that I'm always going to take you back. It pains me a little to say this because I know it's my fault. I allowed you to do that. Sure, I'd scream and sulk for a few days, but after some thoughtful persuasion and charm, you've gotten back into my good books again.
I'm better than this. I have guys literally lining up to be with me and I can have any one of them I want. People have always told me I'm beautiful but I somehow stopped believing that when you stepped into the picture. I'm not blaming you for that because I know it's my own issue. But I know now that I'm better than I give myself credit for.
I'm smart - I write part time for one of the most reputable newspapers in the country and I'm only 21. I have two university qualifications under my belt and one more to go. I'm way more fit than you'll ever be, you couch potato. I dance more gracefully than you do and I have better hair.
I know your self-esteem just plummeted to zero and your ego just took a serious hit. Don't worry, that's what happens when you delude yourself into thinking that you're God's gift to women.
Sincerely,
M.

Well-written =)
Haha I'm glad that you have learned from the experience. Good job!
that was awesome!
nice
you go girl!
this is genius.
TELL EM GIRL!
gah. I know this guy! (or his TYPE, anyway.......)
Way to go. Even as a guy, when I hear about relationships like this, *I* want to go and personally castrate the rotter.
He gives all other guys a bad name.
Good for you, and I hope the next guy you give an opportunity too will be the one for you :)

That was soo well written, clever, and witty! :)
This was AWESOME!! I almost let out a "Woop!" at the end, but then remembered my roommate was here and she would think I was crazy.
Stay strong, girl!!
I enjoyed this. :]
Very well written, and I'm sure you put in a lot of digs that most girls would love to say to their ex's. Good job. However - dare I say it? My hunch (speaking from past personal experience, btw) is that, if you have to write a letter to this guy telling him how "over him" you are... you're probably not. When you can get to the point of not caring... you're over it (so they tell me.) Just my two cents. Other than that... cool post.
Well-written :) I love it, it's not like a lot of pathetic name-calling and all that childish stuff that other girls do.
@Passionflwr86@xanga - Agreed. I've found myself writing all kinds of stuff about my past heartbreak, fully aware that I wasn't over it [completely] yet. Once you stop caring, that's when you know it's over.
SLAM DUNK. =)
Oh, and in reference to @Passionflwr86@xanga, even if you're NOT over him yet, you will be soon enough if you just stick to your guns and remember this moment and all the reasons why you SHOULD be over him. Give it some time :).
I'm so happy for you!!
Best of luck with your future relationships!
Not to detract from the excellent point of this, but is there truly, literally, a line of guys waiting for you?
Woohoo! Another loser in the dirt! :)
that's something i might have to do. they should wake the fuck up and realise that the way they treat their girlfriends is below how they'd treat a friend.
awesome liberation of ever worrying about him. you sound like you have way too much going for you to stuff it up again. and feeling pain in a relationship is a big warning that it's not good for you, like a knife in your chest.
Hahah that's legit.
damn.
NICE.
Awesome.
I applaud you.
I wish I could write this letter. I think I actually may write it, very soon.
Thank you.
now, when i read this, my immediate thought is, "are you sure you're really over him?" because it doesn't seem like it. i understand "goodbye" letters are meant to prove that you're over someone, but i think they're just a way to hide the fact that people still aren't ready to deal with everything...just my thought on the matter....but good for you if you are! you definitely deserve a better guy.
Hehe. Good for you :)
Amen, sista BE!!!!!!
I love you and your confidence.
