Dear 2004,
Oh honey,
You were so good to me. You really really were.
And I mean that. I appreciate you. And I’ve been overdue in talking to you about this, because I’m so dearly attached to the memories we have with each other, but you know… we’ve grown, and we’ve grown apart.
You’ve been so good to me.
I grew as a person, felt confident about myself more. You made me feel utterly alive and beautiful and good in all the craziness that was part of this year. And you, you were ever gracious, wonderful and kind. You brought wonderful people into my life and you made me a happier, healthier person. You helped me get over my regrets with Mr. 2004 and you made me look at myself in a whole new light… one that I hadn’t credited myself with being worhty of.
I’m sorry that we have to part ways at this point, but you know we must. So far, I can’t say that I’m in love with my most recent relationship: Mr 2005, but so far, he’s been gentle .
You know, I think you’d like him.
And I know that it’s only within your deepest heart that over the next year I be loved and taken care of.
You know, I think 2005 will take care of me like that. And if he doesn’t, I’m sure that you’ll bring back some good memories to bitch slap the mother if he falls out of step.
You know I’ll always love you.
Min Jung
