| - Dear CMU,
I need to tell you something.
During our four-year-long relationship, I was often upset with you. When we first got together, I was so full of hope and optimism for our future, but as time went on, things only got more and more difficult and I began to wonder if you really had my best interests at heart. You made so many sweet promises about how you wanted to give me a better future, but I suspected that you were only interested in my money, and I resented that. You were also so demanding, you know? You took up all of my time, sapped my energy and sanity, and made me cry a lot. I kept wondering if I should break things off with you (it also didn't help that Pitt was fun and available), but I really wanted for us to work out. I was so confused.
Now that it's over, I have to admit that I often think of you and the good times that we shared. Even though things were so complicated between us, you did give me a lot of fond memories. I laughed a lot and learned a lot. And you helped me to grow into a better person -- you encouraged me to work hard, to think deeply, to be creative, to take action. You also introduced me to some of my closest friends. Although we've finally parted ways and have long since grown apart, you had a special part in my life, and I thank you for that.
I... I miss you.
Or maybe it's just the idea of you that I miss.
