Dear Destiny, [b]Short version:[/b] I am losing interest. [b]Long version:[/b] Today I woke up and decided to write you a letter. We have been seeing each other for some time now. I would sit with you in the comfort of my living room relaxing after a long day at work or we would spend a weekend together and forget the world. Together we have adventured to places no other has taken me, seen things only you could show me and been through more adventures than I can recall. At first our time together was much like any new relationship, excitement reigned supreme. I must admit there the were nights of clumsy fumbling and trying to learn all your quirks, but you were patient with me. From the moment I first saw you I knew that you would be mine. My first glimpses of you caused me to desire more and I pursued you to the fullest extent. No other had caught my attention quite like you. Promises of untold glory and enjoyment. Without knowing everything about you I invested in all of it. Our first few weeks together were glorious! I reveled in your every adventure and quest. I sought to hold more of you, to find all the hidden secrets and treasure within you. Slowly over many nights and countless hours I began to become more enthralled. Many of my other hobbies fell away in my need to spend more time with you. Looking back I may have been overzealous in my pursuit. Then came the peak of our relationship! The most challenging and rewarding adventure! I threw everything I had at it and came out victorious! I felt like a god! A man who had conquered Mount Everest! And thus ended the honeymoon. In the weeks to follow I been to notice your flaws. At first I was accepting of them, no relationship is without them, through communication and teamwork I believed we had a chance. A chance to make things better! So I decided to become part of the community of your followers. Lo and behold others with the same passion for you! But wait, they too had noticed the flaws. So kept my voice to a minimum as others had already taken up the banner of change. Did you change? Yes. No one can deny that you have made small improvements. Some may even say that the changes were necessary. For me these changes were superficial, a new dress or a small gift. Nothing of substance, nothing to tell me that you took our relationship serious. Our greatest adventure together was still fraught with issues. It made that portion of our relationship difficult to enjoy. The best thing you had to offer and it was barely enjoyable. Any of your fixes only seemed to make things more difficult and add more issues. To make things worse you cut all cheese from my diet. I will admit it did make me gassy.... Then came hope. A new chapter in our relationship, something to take us to the next level. I found a renewed faith in you and resumed my relentless pursuit. Adventure! An new pinnacle to achieve! It was over almost as soon as it started. Your new story left much to be desired. But, as most of your devotees did, I danced to your tune. I invested time into the newest portion of your world. In the back of my mind I knew something was amiss. This new addition lacked depth. You did however hold a portion of yourself back. A more challenging version of your newest crowning achievement. In the meantime I tried to stay content with the norm, working my way to the highest level. Through the various issues and frustration I battled. Meanwhile your former crown jewel lay cracked and disfigured, like an old toy on a shelf that you told yourself you would get fixed....one day. Finally it was here! The hardest and most rewarding challenge in your repertoire. Most of us plunged head first into it. Unfortunately we found this pool of adventure to be somewhat shallow. Other than a few minor tweaks it remained the same. Hollow promises of greatness. Time wasted with no reward. Obstacles overcome with no prize. An endless stream of meaningless trinkets to clog the shelves of a vault I used to take pride in. How can it be called a reward if it is given thoughtlessly? Would you enjoy a gift you have been given time and time again? A gift you no longer have a use for? A gift you suspect has ulterior motives? They have lost their value. So we arrive at today. Today there are small distractions to keep us entertained for the brief moments we choose to donate what will we have left. I no longer have the desire to pursue you with the boyish enthusiasm of days past. I will await your next adventure with a more reasonable level of expectation and response. For the time being, I find myself drifting back to the things that mattered to me before I met you. To a world outside of yours. I have enjoyed you. I will from time to time continue to enjoy you. This is not the end, CaptainMayor
