Dear Drama,
After years of having you in my life, I have decided to break up with you. Though we’ve had some good times and some good laughs I just don’t need you in my life anymore. In fact, I think you hold me back. But please, please, please don’t take this personally. I know you’re just being who you are, so I hope you understand that I need to be who I am. Someone who just doesn’t love Drama.
I’ll admit, there was a time when I was drawn to you. You can be very exciting and seductive. But I finally realized that I always walk away disappointed. I don’t feel as fulfilled when you’re around. I need something in my life that brings out the best in me, not the worst.
More importantly, I’m afraid that if I continue my relationship with you that my daughter will only become infatuated with your daughter, Girl Drama. No offense, but I’ve seen how destructive your daughter can be to young girls. My daughter is only 9 years old and has managed to stay away from Girl Drama, but as she gets older the pressure to hang with your daughter will get more intense. It is my responsibility as her mom to equip her in the best ways possible to stay away from bad influences. And I’ve decided that one of the best things I can do is to completely eliminate you and your whole family from our lives, instead strengthening my family’s relationship with Kindness and Understanding. You see, right now my daughter is “best friends” with their daughter, Pure Joy, and I really want to preserve that friendship. They are so good for each other!
So let’s do each other a favor and find someone else who appreciates us for who we are. And you will find someone, trust me. You’re very appealing to a lot of people. This I know for sure. I see how everyone looks at you. Just do the world a favor. Please don’t rebound back to Stress. You know how bad Stress and Drama are together. And whatever you do, don’t do another one-night stand with Insecurity, either. You’d just be using her. Lastly, don’t get involved with one of my friends just to make me jealous and lure me back in. It’s not going to work.
I sincerely wish you the best. Maybe some day we can be in the same room without me feeling so compelled to bring you home with me. But for now, please keep your distance.
Thank you for understanding,
Me
