My dearest Romantic Comedy,

There are so many things that I love about you that I don't even know where I could possibly start.

Since I understood what a Rom Com was, I haven't never wanted to let you go.

Rom Com, you have taught me a lot of things in my 20-something years of life that I don't think I will ever be able to learn anywhere else.

that the world has tried its best to destroy ever since before I realized that these were things that could be taken away.

There was a time in my life where I thought – wow, romance can never be funny.

But you proved me so, so wrong, yes you did.

It is proven that romantic dramas don’t do nearly as well as romantic comedies, and with good reason. People need to be in a specific mood for romantic dramas.

You are the go-to, you are the reason that sleepovers with my girlfriends are never dull.

You may have filled me with expectations – – but at least you taught me that there is someone out there for everyone and there is someone out there for me.

I am a prize, and , and I deserve my absolutely mind-boggling Rom Com ending.

I deserve Ryan Gosling giving up absolutely everything he built his life around so that he could be the kind of man I need.

I deserve Penn Badgley showing up at my house and riding off on a lawn mower into the sunset.

The friendships in Rom Coms are some of the closest, well-written friendships I have ever seen.

Friendships like Josh Gad and Kevin Hart in The Wedding Ringer, so unexpected and built out of a mutual respect that – in most other films – fall by the wayside.

Friendships like Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton, teaming up to take down a no-good cheater.

So, yea, Rom Com – An insane amount really.

And, even if I think your story is too ridiculous for words,

Love,

Amanda, the hopeless romantic
