Day 7: An Ex

I have many exes, and many of them will fit the criteria for one of my future letters. Therefore, I’m going to write a joint letter to all of my exes.

To my ex-partners,

Thank you all, each and every one of you. Whether I look back on our relationship fondly, or wish I could erase the memories forever from my mind, each relationship taught me something valuable. From some of you, I learned what true love looks like. From others, I learned what it most definitely does not look like. Some of you taught me how to be a better partner, and some of you taught me to be a better person. Some of you showed me what it looks like when two people love each other but are just not compatible. Some of you showed me what a healthy breakup looks like. And others of you were almost impossible to get rid of or let go of. With some of you, I explored new parts of myself, whether it was my sexual orientation, a new relationship model, or my submission. Some of you let me be me, while others of you tried to change me. Some of you I moved on from in a moment, while there are others that I’m not sure I’ll ever truly get over. Some of you, I still speak to regularly. Others of you I know I will never speak to again.

You’ve all served a purpose, and that’s why I can say that I don’t regret dating any of you. Even if the relationship was horrible, it taught me something about myself, and about other people, in the end. So thank you for being influences in my life that have helped to make me who I am today. No matter what, I wish the best for each and every one of you.
