An Open Letter to My "Robin Scherbatsky"

I always read these kind of things online, so I thought I would write one that many people could relate to. 

If you have never seen "How I Met Your Mother" then this letter won't make sense to you. You should also get on that and watch the series because it's amazing. 

Dear "Robin," 

I know that you believe we're never meant to be. And I totally respect that. I know that I'm the one you can always rely on to give you a listening ear, a hug, a smile, or just to assure you that someone cares for you. I know that when times get hard with your dating life, career, school, whatever it may be, that I am a foundation of rock to tell you that you can do it.

I also know that you've been through a lot. Your thoughts, fears, dreams, likes, dislikes, everything has been shared between the two of us. You've never judged me, and you've never left my side. 

We've had some times where we fall apart. We've had our ups and downs. We've dated and watched each other date other people. I've even told you that I love you multiple times. And yet you haven't run away which I'm so grateful for.

"Robin," this letter isn't to try and win you back. This isn't a way for me to try and make you feel guilt. This letter is for you to know that I've accepted who we are together and how at peace I am with it. This is a way to show you that I will always be there for you. No matter what the world throws at you, at me, or at us, we will get through it together. 

I know that we will never fall in love. It's been a hard journey for me to finally come to grips with that, but I really have accepted it in my heart. You found love and I found love, and it's amazing. 

Please know though that because I'll always be there for you, I will always love you as well. I will still steal a French blue horn for you, even a blue orchestra. I'll decorate our apartment in Christmas lights extravaganza to cheer you up. I'll miss you when you go to Russia, and I'll be the first to greet you when you come back. 

I will always be a phone call away. You have evolved to be one of my dearest closest friends. Never forget that. 

"Robin Sherbatsky" you are amazing. I will always love you. 

Love, 

"Ted Mosby"

Changes a'comin'!

It's been quite a while, and I've been really bad at updating anything lately. Not that I have a lot of things to update, but I haven't been on top of things as I should be. There's so much to do before I leave for my mission! Where did all the time go?! Well, almost half of it was spent in Boston with my sister and her fam. But still. It's flying by too fast! I don't think I can handle this speed yet!

I leave for my mission in 13 days (well, 12 now since it's past midnight)

Can someone say "Cuh-razy"?! My last post was when I had 50 days! Now I have less than 2 weeks! Whaaaat?! (Imagine that being said in the minion voice from Despicable Me.)

I'm looking back since my 50-days mark and trying to think of all that's happened...nothing really. I'm done with school, finished finals, moved back home, went to Boston, and now I'm staring at my room that looks like a tornado went through it. Oops. :/ And I've got a talk to write for Sunday. I think all the things I have to do surpasses what I've done in the past while haha. 

But change is happening. And it's really weird how fast it's coming. I've got to either start a new blog or change this one for my mission, too. I have to clean out my room, say goodbye's (which are never easy), shop for things like an alarm clock and such, and actually pack! GUH. 

I guess I shouldn't be on my computer blogging then, right? Except now it's too late to do anything but go to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be much more productive than the past few days....
