Dear Blogger,

I am sorry that I have to tell you this in such a manner. I don't know how else to tell you. I do not want to hurt your feelings, but... truth be told, I have moved on. I've been seduced by another. I honestly didn't mean for it to happen - especially so soon - but now that it has, I can't stay in this relationship any longer.

I found myself faced with the reality that you can no longer satisfy my needs, nor support me in what I want to achieve. In fact, at times you've made it difficult in not allowing me to spread my wings. But now, I've found another who understands what I need and can provide me with that support. I wish it didn't have to end like this, but I have to do what's best. I hope you understand as I would truly like to remain friends. After all, you have been there for me when I have been down, contemplative, angry and just plain confused. Whilst I appreciate what you had to offer, it's no longer enough. I have wants and desires that you cannot begin to fathom, let alone satisfy.

To me, you are familiar and safe, and I never intended to leave you... but I met another who has opened my eyes. It was lust at first sight. I know it's terrible to say it, but the one I am leaving you for is superior to you in almost every respect. Perhaps they're not as conventionally good-looking, but we both know attraction and a fulfilling relationship is based on so much more than that.

As we've always had a relationship based on honesty, I need to tell you the truth - for my sake and for yours... I was seduced by your enemy and rival, Wordpress.com. I have to confess that we've been having secret liaisons... as I couldn't leave you without knowing that I would be happy with Wordpress. I feel so ashamed. I want you to know that we haven't taken things to the next level, but I feel it will happen soon. The main reason I haven't opened up fully with Wordpress is because I couldn't live with the guilt of not telling you the truth first.

Blogger, if I have caused you pain, I am deeply sorry. We had our share of fun and memories, and I hope you will eventually be able to look back fondly on our relationship together, and perhaps even find it in your server to forgive me. When you do, you are welcome to come visit me at http://chenisms.wordpress.com

Adieu,

Chen.

P.S. We'll always have Paris...
