Hope you're not too hungover shady! Also, I recommend, if you ever send this letter to your past lover, to remove the part in which you theorize as to whether "her breasts actually grew or she just got bras that actually fit." :p
Lol.
Shady I think many of us go throw something similar to this. However we never experience it the same way as everyone else. What you experienced will always remain magical to you. And in my opinion that a feeling and memory worth having. World has a way of working out. Until then, I'll take a drink for you.

Google "Lagrange economics" or something like that. Basically, its used to determine the point of highest utility/welfare/happiness (this utility thingy is the curve) that a person can get if he buy "Good X" on a graph.
This is the most layman way I can explain as a struggling economics student.

Amazing.
Would read again 5/5.
Don't what else to say, really... the whole blog just kind of played out in my head like a drama series that ends in a huge cliffhanger.
Okay, so like say there is this triple-timeline going. One is you writing this mail by hand, another is all the scenes written in the mail, and in the third (and the present) there's you walking in a snowy evening walking to the nearest mailbox down the street. Yes it has to be snowy (light snow) because of that one particular snow scene and it has to be evening because it's easily the most emotionally-charged time of the day. It can't be completely late at night because there aren't enough people in the street (you need to be walking in the midst of people to emulate the "alone in the world" atmosphere).
Enough about the setting. The whole drama has to be from your place to the mailbox in real time, but frequently switching back to you sitting in a dimly lit room writing a mail and recollecting memories. The mail has to be written like 30 times over (scribble scribble stop think strikethrough fix think again FUCK crunch toss start again). So all this recollecting memories happen and on the last episode you finally "finish" your mail with "I miss you." and fold the mail paper. Then switch back to present time, you're holding the enclosed mail right at the mailbox and about to drop it in, and you mutter "I miss you" just as the dramatic ballad song in the background reaches its climax and the singer is singing his/her heart out and the whole scene goes 0.1x speed as the mail drops into the dark box and the words "I miss you" echo as the scene fades.
Then the viewers think it's over BUT then a new scene comes back into focus and it's the exact same looking setting with someone writing a mail but once the camera focuses properly it's actually the girl writing a mail and she concludes it with "I miss you."
DUN DUN DUN
She neatly folds it, puts it in an envelope, puts on a jacket, then heads out into the snowy fields (implied going to a mailbox).
... and that's where the drama ends. Basically that's what went through my mind as I read your story the second time.

Shady Sands gets rejected because he has failed to see that her love don't cost a thang, as we know because she liked his priceless gift of writing int he snow to *show* his love. He still believes he needs more money to get women and thus is like Dickens' scrooge unable to love because he believes material things are worth love. Heart bursting hot sigh destruction ...poison...sleepy...nightshade
@optical shot.. pretty sure you just made this metaliterature by expanding it to film and tying it back to real life or something. cofusing myself...for fun... *head exploding gesture*

if you're still agonizing because you kinda like him but he's engaged and 15 years older than you.
I filtered out parts of what I thought but now that I think it's somewhat approriate: I think she probably kinda likes something else that he has and she may be that type.
Sorry if I offended you or if it sounds like bullshit. Just some thoughts

Lagrangians are used to solve differential equations, which can be in the form of a dyamical system or some complex differential shit in econs.

YOU'VE GOTTA WIN HER BACK SANDS.
Stand outside her window and play bad music from an old stereo!
Randomly mail hundreds of roses to her door!
Write her a poem 3 pages long with your godlike literacy skills!
Goddammit shady, you need to win her back!

Really really good blog, super touching....

"And I am foolish. Maybe that's why I liked you. Because you were everything I never had, and so you became everything I ever wanted, and now you're everything I'm never going to get."
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I hate that feeling... haha.

OP, throughout your post it sounds like you were in the friendzone the whole time and that you never tried to make a move. How do you even know that she liked you...I guess you can use that general term to also refer to her liking you as a friend, but your post tries to give off this vibe that maybe she liked you in a boyfriend kind of way but it doesn't show any evidence of that.

Well this sounds familiar. Hello there.
|
You see, my roommate was pretty obsessed with Evangelion, when he wasn't going to his Asian-American Intervarsity Meetings to pick up chicks and win the 2nd quarter bet. One day I was going to sleep, watching his computer go through pictures for its screen saver, and then you came up.
Not your picture, I mean. A girl that looked exactly like you. Well, with blue hair. I later wiki'd her and I realized your personality and hers was a dead match. Quiet on the outside, determined on the inside, and really, really fucking smart.
lol, I smell troll.

Dude, just no.
Just. No.
You know, if you have a really intense romance and you reminisce about it, this is what it looks like. The sweet memories.

That's actually a good point. It never does say explicitly and yet we are led to assume that it is the case. I thought he was rejected before she surprised him in the library.. hmm
anyways if you read the thread you find out they had a college rez honey moon xmas.

Maybe if she were so madly in love with you... She was, at one point. Winter break our sophomore year, she didn't get an airplane ticket back to China, and I only went back for 4 days for christmas. The rest of those 2 and 1/2 weeks we spent in our dorm with the heater on full blast because we were naked every moment. when we got too sweaty we would stand by the window and open it an inch and let the freezing/bone-dry air clear all the sweat off our skin, then we'd go at it again

And I'm so sorry for hurting you while I was dating. For being that insensitive careerist jerk who was more concerned about getting to the top of the finance club by networking with the alumni rather than taking care of you while you were sick, forcing you to trudge a kilometer through the snow to get groceries with a 38C fever.
im so sorry baby. im so sorry, if I could do it all over again I would, but it's too late now isn't it? Isn't it? Now you're just looking for a man to take care of you, and that means he has to make more than you, and that means I have to finish my second company for a multimillion dollar exit and work for a VC firm if I'm to have a shot--a slim damnfool shot--at winning you back again
question: if she's so 'smart' why didn't she just call up another friend and get them to help instead?

She is smart, a little too smart. Girls will do things like this to make their man feel like shit so they can be one up on them later. Just look how effective it was, Shady mentioning it just shows how well it worked lol.
Shady, I wish you all the best and please update us!! Great blog!

Don't always agree with you but I wish you luck in moving past her dude  the alcohol only delays the inevitable, however.

This is the kind of read that makes me grab a glass of wine, and slowly drink in while remembering how nice it was when she was still here.
Very nicely written.

This explains so much about your views on relationships.
I hope you get her one day, for your sake. And that when you do, you actually deserve her.
