Dearest Blog,

You know, I've been thinking of breaking up with you for a while now. I really do love you, and as ridiculous as it sounds, you have been a constant in my life since I lived in New York three or four years ago.

So it hasn't been fair of me to give you, oh beloved blog, the ol' "phase out" -- you know, the worst way to end a relationship. The "I'll just ignore it until it breaks up with me." The passive, cowardly way out. Nobody deserves to be ignored if they're offering themselves to you for your acceptance. The phase out is, undoubtedly, the saddest way for a relationship to die.

So, April Birds and May Bees, I think we're done here. I honestly enjoyed my time with you, and I'll look back at your archives for years to come. Much love, my friend. Good-bye.
