Breaking Up is Hard to Do

I have a confession to make. I’ve been getting too involved in a relationship that is not good for me. Today I decided it had to end so wrote this “Dear John” letter.


Dear Writer’s Block:

It’s not you, it’s me. Our relationship has had its ups and downs and I take responsibility for most of our issues.

You have been faithful and accepted my indecision with patience. Your lessons of procrastination and excuses were what I needed in a difficult time of my life.

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and realized that I am unable to commit to a long term relationship with you. There are thoughts, ideas and inspiration I need to share with the world. Because of this, I believe it is time for us to go our separate ways. It’s not easy to say goodbye, but I need to make a clean break and not see you again.

I know there is someone out there who will be better able to embrace all you have to offer. I also know with all my heart, that someone is not me.

      Robert, thank you for your kind words. This letter started out as a writing exercise but turned into much more. I made it personal and something shifted inside of me. I’m now back to working on my book!
