Dear Netflix,
Hey, it’s me again. I know we haven’t seen each other in while, but I’ve been doing some thinking on my own. Our past two years together have been an absolutely amazing experience. I’ll never forget the first time we got together. I wanted to spend every single minute of the day together. It didn’t matter where we were. In the library. In the Ratty. In my bed. Sometimes I would sacrifice my sleep just to stay awake with you until the early hours of the morning, because I couldn’t bear to part with you.
Our relationship was special. We did so many different things together. From Parks and Recreation to The Walking Dead, you always knew what I was in the mood for. Sometimes it was a romantic comedy. Other times I was craving some action and adventure. You catered to all my needs without a single complaint, but something has changed. I don’t know what, but suddenly this relationship doesn’t have the same spark as it used to. I want to be with you, but I think I need a break. We need this time for exploration.
I promise it’s not you, it’s me. I need to focus on myself and figure out what I really want out of this relationship. Recently I’ve been feeling less committed. In the past I used to be dedicated to just one show and binge-watch it until the end, but I can’t keep on doing this. I’m open to trying new things, but nothing can keep my interest anymore. I’ll start a bunch of new shows, but I can’t bring myself to click on the next episode. I’m just not ready for this sort of commitment. I’m not blaming you. I just need something different.
We’ve been drifting apart for a while now. I think it’s time that I finally confess something. I haven’t exactly been cheating, but I’ve been visiting some other streaming services. I promise it’s nothing serious, but I needed to get that off my chest. I think this break will be good for the both of us. At this point, it honestly seems like my parents like you more than I do. I need to take the time to figure out my true interests, and I’m sure your library will only get bigger over time. No matter what, remember that I truly care about you. I hope we can still be friends after this. You will always be my first subscription.
Sincerely,
Francesca
