Dear Snapchat,
We need to talk.
I’ve noticed that you’ve changed recently, and I feel like you’ve become someone I don’t even know.
First of all, you are too controlling. When we first started going out, you let me see my friends where and when I wanted. Now, you make it hard for me to see them at all. It’s true that Taylor and I snap often, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about Jessica just as much. Even when she sends me one Snapchat, I will lose her in the long list of other people who you deem to be more important. I know we’re a team, but I still can be independent; you don’t always have a say on who takes priority in my life.
Second, I don’t feel appreciated. I understand that you’re busy and care a lot about what’s best for you, but it makes me feel undervalued at times. I love watching stories about the latest Hollywood gossip and the UW-Madison campus; but when I try to tell you that, it seems like you don’t even have time to pay attention. I scroll for those stories until my thumb gets bored — and I still don’t find them. Meanwhile, you just keep talking about all your interests and what happens during your workday.
Third, I can’t trust you. I had left your app for only a few minutes, and everything looked different the next time I opened it. I thought we had an understanding that you wouldn’t change without my permission. I can’t trust someone who goes behind my back for their own personal gain; as the saying goes, “without trust there is no relationship.”
Although I’ve said that these kinds of problems would be immediate deal-breakers, I do love you and can’t seem to forget our long history together. I want to give you a chance to make things right, so we can grow old together like we always planned. If you change back to the old you, I won’t be able to resist keeping you around.
You know I’ve always been faithful to you, but there’s one thing I must come clean about: I’ve been contemplating seeing someone new. Instagram’s story feature has really caught my attention. I know you always say it’s just your wannabe; but lately, it seems more like the real deal than you. I hope this serves as an incentive for you to rethink your latest changes quickly.
Sincerely,
Your favorite snapchat user
P.S… if you really want to go the extra mile, you could bring back my best friends. After all, every girl loves an app who will have her back.
