Open Letter


Dear Netflix,

I can still remember the first time I heard about your unique service. At first, I thought that you were a waste of money and time because I was a busy kid with school, sports, friends, and I already had video games and cable T.V. However that did not last long. Soon I had an account of my own and it hasn’t been the same since then.

We have known eachother for over five years now, and I cannot remember what life was like before I met you. Nothing compares to the instant High Definition Video Streaming you provide me. On top of that you are the most versatile companion I have. You will stay home with me whenever I want or I can download your mobile app on my phone, and you will accompany me on anywhere I am required to go. Even after five years with you, there are still hundreds of movies and T.V. shows available. Furthermore, you never judge any of my life choices, for instance, when I lied to my friends about being busy, in order to stay home and finish Walking Dead, you didn’t care or when I stayed in bed to binge watch the next season of House of Cards you never questioned me. In most situations it is easier and less stressful to just hang out with you because you never argue with me or get upset when I mute you. You understand me better than anyone, even my family does not understand me as well as you do. Only you would know exactly what I want to watch. You have recommended more movies and T.V. shows to me that I have liked more than anyone else in my life. Somehow, you keep me coming back and we rarely hit a dull moment. Also Unlike so many things in my life, you understand boundaries because you don’t walk all over me like my cat or constantly beg for attention like a dog.

Despite all the wonderful characteristics I have just described about you. I can’t help but worry about us sometimes because you have demanded more money from me over these past five years. Are you unhappy?. Or maybe our relationship was fabricated because of the money. Furthermore, you keep asking me if I am still there. Of course I am still there. I don’t understand why you keep asking me this. Maybe you are Jealous about the free trial I had with Hulu Plus or could it be the short relationship I had with Popcorn Time? But you shouldn’t be worried because they are nothing compared to you. You and I have had a eachothers back for the past five years and nothing can change that. I can’t imagine not having that in my life, and I never want to imagine it. You do so much for me that I can’t even begin to express how appreciative I am.
