An Open Letter (directed to those who have overstepped their boundaries and a warning to those who plan to)

Dear You People Know Who You Are:

I find it funny that you claim to be my friend and only want what's best for me, but because you disagree with who I love you think that gives you the right to run your mouth.

You can write your blogs, you can send me the texts, you can send me the emails, you can talk behind my back...but it's not going to change my mind. See, I've changed and so has he. And frankly, I couldn't care less what anybody thinks about me, or him. Because I love him. And he loves me. And your petty little criticisms or biting comments only serve to prove to me that you aren't worthy of being in my life. Furthermore, I have many wonderful friends who are anxious to meet him and get to know him, because they know how important he is to me.

Want to talk about friendship? When I told my best friend that he and I are back together, I didn't hear one word of doubt come out of her mouth. All I heard was encouragement. When I call her and ask her for advice, she tells me what I can do different. She's happy because I'm happy. When I sent her some photos that he took of me, she was so impressed that she wanted to see more of his work. When I spoke to her last night and it was brought up, she complimented him again. I believe her exact words were "I can see what you see in him, and I'm happy for you."

He and I spent far too long letting other people's opinions and lies interfere in our relationship, and that's a big reason why we had so many problems in the past. The key words are "in the past". He and I will never make the mistake again of letting an outside person come into our relationship.

If you want to be in my life, you will accept him, or you don't accept me. It's as simple as that.
