God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

My ex-girlfriend, Van, is stalking me. Through e-mail. From China. Creepy shit. The following is my reply. Too harsh maybe?

You say I'm your one true love. Even up 'til now. Bullshit. You just want someone to save you.

You used to be a force to be reckoned with. A bitch on a mission who'd take no shit from anybody. You reeked of self-confidence. That's what I admired in you.

And now whenever you call me, all I hear in your voice is the petulant whining of a weakling. I pitied you at first. Listened to your problems. Gave you advice.

You pretended to listen to my words but you never tried to understand their meaning. You said you would improve. You said you would face your problems. Yet all you did was retreat further and further into yourself, waiting for me to come to your rescue.

Well guess what. That ain't gonna happen.

Your pleas make me sick. The tone of your voice makes my stomach churn and the taste in my mouth sour. You're nothing but an empty shell of the person you used to be.

No... you're worse. You're an insult to the person you once were. I want nothing to do with you.

If you want salvation, save yourself.
