dear g: 

you must be in an awkward situation. it is not everyday that your long-term ex girlfriend marries one of your idols, pals around with your heroes, and has gone into great detail with her husband of what she endured (fear not, he gets the good memories too.) she lives a good life in florida with Martin’s Potato Rolls, Breakstone’s, and if she wants them Entenmann’s. she travels the world (regularly in first class) and she has an unlimited budget for every want and need she could ever come up with. she is growing. she is healing. she is thriving. 

upon delivery of this letter, i let go of the anger i harbor from not being authentic to my true self and core values when we were together. i see you truly for what you are- a scared little boy who didn’t have his needs fulfilled growing up. a lonely child who was neglected for cigarettes and radio speakers. a kid who wanted stable connection, but instead got a busy signal. a sad little boy who tries to fill that unsafe void with big words, things that make you feel superior over others, and copious amounts of emotionally immature (usually) younger women.

for the sake of your children, your wife, her child, and ultimately for your humanity, i pray you find the path to healing. 

cordially, 

jenna woods
