I came to New York in the search of a new life away from the boy who broke my heart and soul. I thank him everyday for hurting me because I would never be where I am today if it wasn’t for him. I would have never come to this wonderful city and done all the things life has led me to do. Let me tell you this is nothing like the small little Kansas town that I grew up in.
I left Kansas two weeks after we broke up and moved into my nice little apartment. I have changed the names in this letter to protect the people around me. I received this letter shortly after arriving here. You will hear a lot about this boy, but for now I am just going to call him A.

“You know, I haven’t been completely candid with you. I think I owe you an explanation. My life changed in so many ways last year it disgusts me, and it all started when I left you. But, I have to start somewhere here. I mislead everyone – including you. Chelsea was talking to me about how you thought we were going to get back together.
