Dear Food"
This letter may come as a shock, but I have something I need to tell
you. Something I've needed to do for a long time. I am breaking up
with you. I know that we have had a lot of history together, and this
is very hard on me, but I have come to understand what an unhealthy
relationship we truly have.
We have a dysfunctional relationship. I depend on you for far more
than you can give ... comfort, entertainment, peace, relaxation,
company and joy. I expect way too much from you considering you don't
have the power to give me any of these things. I have been asking too
much, and I am so sorry.
I'm also sorry for treating you like my enemy at times. I have acted
like you are the one to blame for all of my problems. I thought that
if I didn't have to deal with you my life would be perfect! This is
not true.
I realize that my problems can't be fixed by your presence or your
absence. You are not the one to blame or to run to. Food, the hardest
part of breaking up with you is thinking back on all the fun we've
shared ... the movies, the vacations, the holidays, the birthdays,
the trips to see the family, and our times with mutual friends. You
stand out in all of those memories, but I am seeing how I elevated
you above others during those times.
I often focused more on you than a friend or family member. This is
why we must break up. We can still be friends. In fact, we can still
go to the same parties and be together at holidays, but you just
can't be my best friend and secret love anymore. Food, I have met
Someone else. He's been my friends for a long time, and has wanted to
be more intimate with me, but He said we couldn't be, not as long as
you were my main love. He is very jealous and rightly so. He wants to
be number 1 in my life.
The reason I have chosen Him over you is because He can give, and
wants to give me, all the things you can't ... comfort, joy, peace,
rest, company and love. I need these things, and I can share all of
these with Him. I need to be with Him. He must be my first love.
Food, I want to have a healthy relationship with you. We've been
together for so long, and I know that breaking up is hard to do, but
our relationship will be so much better when we're friends only. I'll
only depend on you for what you are able to give me ... nourishment.
I won't blane you for things you have no control over anymore. My new
love says its okay for us to be friends, as long as that is all we
are. Well I'll be seeing you around. I know it is so much better this
way." Unknown Author
