Declaration of Independence

The underlined words or phrases show which part of a declaration? Justin, I'm not sure how to start this letter, but I feel we need to talk. I've been thinking about us a lot lately, and I don’t know if being together is right anymore. However, because I respect and care about you, I wanted to write this letter to explain what I think we need to do. We’ve only been together for a year and we don’t need to continue something that isn’t going anywhere because we both deserve a chance to find true love. Things started off so great. We could talk about anything, did everything together, and you fit right into my family. I really felt like we were on the same page, but we obviously aren’t. I feel like you started taking me for granted. You just started to do whatever you wanted, whenever and with whoever without even asking if we had plans or if I wanted to make plans. You stopped texting me as much, stopped asking how I felt or how my day was, and stopped making an effort to see me. I have tried to talk to you about this several times, but you just tell me that I am being controlling or trying to manipulate you. I have tried to set up calendars to make sure we can schedule time with each other, but you refuse to use it. I mean, it's very clear that you don’t have time for me and that you don’t want to make time. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I don't want to hurt you, but I think it's time we broke up. I'm sorry things didn't work out, but I do think you are the one to blame. Don’t bother trying to fix things now, I am over it. Have a nice life, Emily
