Selling your Best Friend

It’s probably been over four years since we were first introduced and from the very start it seemed almost magical. We spent hours together that seemed to only last minutes and worked on projects as if we had the same goals. Of course there were those hard times when things just didn’t seems to make sense - but we worked through those times and we’ve become better because of it.

I guess that’s why it’s so hard to say goodbye after all this time. It’s not that I’ve forgotten our wild days together but you’re just becoming old and there’s so many things out there that you just can’t do anymore. It’s not that you don’t try - it’s just asking too much of you to be something you’re not.

What makes it so comforting is that you gave it your all in this relationship and you never once decided to just give up. In fact - most of the time it was something I did but you didn’t care. You always explained to me what I had done wrong and helped me to better understand you.

You showed me the world and brought me to places that many of us only get to in our imaginations. You’re amazing but always let me take the glory for what you always did.

That’s what makes a true friend and that’s exactly why selling you is making it so hard. At least now you have a place to go and someone to welcome you. They’ll give you you’re own room and love you as much as they can.

I know that you’ll love them but it’s important to know - you’ll always be my first computer and you’ll always be the one that taught me everything I know. I couldn’t ask for anything more in a companion and couldn’t imagine anything better.

Thanks for the good times - I’ll miss you.
