Love letter to LiveJournal

Dear LJ,
I've meant to write this letter for weeks now, but it's been difficult to find the right words. I know you figured out what was going on long ago, but it's not in your nature to be confrontational or reproachful, no matter how many days went by without a single trivial update from me or without my even logging in. How I love that about you!
Still, I can imagine what you're thinking: What's he got that I don't? Is he prettier than me? Does he make you feel like I once did? Please don't torture yourself making comparisons. The truth is, I need you both. He might be better at listening to me drone on about topicalisation in German or more responsive to my Chinese lexical questions, but who do I turn to when I'm suffering? Do I share my dreams with him, the day-to-day trivialities of my commute, my impromptu soul-searching? Never.
Besides, we have so many Friends in common, so many Memories. (Well, maybe just one, but it's a doozy!) You'll always have a place in my heart. It's not like you haven't had your little affairs, too. Was I the last to know about Six Apart? Maybe not, but it sure felt like that. I know you've been trying harder to be there when I need you, but we all have our down days.
Thanks again for everything you've given me. I've learned a lot since I met you and I look forward to many more years of amusement and sorrow together. Maybe one day, I'll show myself truly worthy of your devotion.
Love,
Da
