Preach it girl.
My personal thought, if you ended with a self-statement like, "to make my mark.", I would give you the Italian perfecton gesture (like when food is made just perfect). In all aspect of it though, writing about how hard it is to write is the best way to feel like you did some qualty writing.
I'm a dude and just looking at the title scared me into believing that it would be just bashing guys, but now I see it is more about friendship and am happy about that. Having many friends that are chicks, I can actually relate to this. Usually women bond together after a heartache or a heartbreak and say, "you can do better" and, "he doesn't deserve your heart", so I totally see where you come from on this.
Yo, this is fantastic writing!
I've never experienced these types of events, but from what I hear there is always, as you have written, 'the Don'. Someone who knows it all and sits in their ivory tower of some sort.
The passage when Don articulated the wine saying, "full bodied...just about acceptable." I thought the same thing being, "what the hell does 'full body' mean?"
Some of those foods your mentioned, just the names of them sound astonishing to taste buds.
The flow was decent, variety of vocabulary, great aspect of comedy and truth- just a notable read.
It is an interesting way to write. Who would have thought to write a letter? This is just brilliant.
Yo, this is cafe poetry reading worthy.
Yeah.... uhhh... that's some serious stuff. Physical and mental damage right there. Wounds may heal, but scars remain.
The part that got to me was,
"I hope you had fun,
while I was your game"
That just put in image in my head of a predator and prey situation, like a house cat playing with a mouse.
Stating a conflict- personal in manner- with a resolution. Respect.
I'm reminded of a quote that fits this, "When we give ourselves up to pain or humility, we give up our essence of humanity."

I've gotta say this. People don't really know this, but I used to be that way. Cutting myself, bring myself into bad situations, or just thinking that there is nothing left for me. That all changed for me though. For me, I don't write to express. I use quotes to express (I don't do it much anymore as I am better emotionally now). These quotes helped me get through as for people didn't really notice how I was feeling or if there was trouble 'cause I was more of a loner type. From using those quotes and remembering them when something was said or done to me and/or others, I just pulled them from my memory file and said it to myself making the situation seem brighter compared to dwelling on it and letting it eat me.
If you or someone you know is hurting themselves mentally and/or physically, please contact them or someone you can trust.
