Dear WordPress,
I did it. I’m a free woman! I finally left Blogger. We had been together for eight years, and things just weren’t progressing the way I had hoped they would. I kept seeing you out with my friends (like The Smallman), and I’ll admit it. I was jealous. Nonetheless, I tried to stick it out with Blogger. Maybe a part of me thought that I didn’t deserve someone as good as you or that my simple mind couldn’t comprehend someone as seemingly complex as you.

I’m sorry it took me so long, but Blogger and I had history. I met him in college and not being as ‘net savvy as I am now, he seemed like the best choice. Lo and behold, though. I am learning that you are not as complicated as I thought you were. In fact, unlike Blogger, our new relationship seems drama- free.

Eight years is a really long time to be with someone, you know? But as the years went by, it kept getting harder and harder to stay with him. He was unwilling to change. He was incompatible with my host server. And truthfully? He had let himself go. I found that I just wasn’t attracted to him anymore.

Everyone kept telling me that you were the one I should be with. Their voices only got louder and more insistent after Blogger flew into a blind rage one day and decided to throw out all the comments people had left me. Truth be told, I should have left him back in 2004 after he barred me from logging into my own account when I got a little too much attention for breaking the news about the Ashlee Simpson Lip-Syncing Disaster of 2004.

WordPress, I believe it will be different with you. You make me want to blog again. You’re so welcoming and accommodating, and dare I say it? You are stunningly attractive!

So here I am, WordPress, pouring my heart out to you on this balmy May evening. I promise to interact with you as much as I can, so long as you promise not to “accidentally lose my entries in a database sever error” or delete all my friends’ comments. WordPress, I’m all yours. Blogger and I are through. This time for good.

Love,
Indiana
