A Difficult Conversation

Dear Tequila - 
I think we need to have a talk.
This is difficult to say, because I care about you, and I don't want there to be any animosity between us. 
However, I think you knew something like this was coming... 

I think we need to take some time apart. 
I need some space. 

Let me start by saying this isn't your fault. It's not you - it's me. 
We've had some really amazing times together. You always make me laugh and you give me confidence - I'm basically in a fog when I'm with you. 
Being with you always leads to adventure, from that time we went skinny dipping, to when we got lost in San Francisco, to this past Friday when I learned how to shoot a BB gun. 

But after we're together, I just don't feel good about myself. 
The next morning I feel sick to my stomach. 

I take responsibility for this too, since when I'm with you I can't get enough. I just want to drink it all in. But I need to work on my boundaries. 
I need to focus on me. 

I'll always love you, I just can't be with you right now. It's not good for me. 
Maybe after some time passes we can reunite. 

I know you'll always be a part of my life, you're very important to me. 
I've learned so much through my experiences with you. 
Without you I never would have discovered margaritas or learned to properly hydrate or the challenges of truth or dare Jenga.

But for now, please give me my space. Maybe you can call me again around Cinco de Mayo.
And if you could stop being on sale at Walgreens, that would really help me out too.

Lots of Love.
