Open Letter: I.

I.,

I'm happy for you.

I'm excited for you.

You have a fresh start.

You've got every opportunity in the world laid out before you, and it can all be yours, just ripe for the picking.

I only want everything good possible for you.

I'm only sad because this situation just serves as a painful reminder that I've already cashed in my check, already had these opportunities you're only beginning to experience and had lost them with nothing more than a bat of an eye.

Don't make the same mistakes I've made.

I won't let you make the same mistakes I've made.

I love you.

J.
