Dear: Family problems, Drama, and Gossip,


Since you’re really one and the same.

I know from experience that you have destroyed many relationships but I want to tell you how you have impacted me specifically. You have made life more difficult for my family and me to live our lives in peace. And to be honest I don't understand why. What did we ever do to you? What did my family ever do to deserve you? But most importantly what is your goal? What is it you want to achieve? Or is it just attention? Because we have given you much of that, but that isn't enough for you is it? You want to consume our lives and eat us alive. You create huge things, but if we ever stop to look for the second time, we’ll see that you full of nothing. Like the vapor, one second you’re then and the next you’re gone for other people to clean up your mess. Anyway, you can keep on going with your show, but don't expect us to follow it anymore.

 

Sincerely,

Ahinoam Quinones
