More Bitter Than Death

Dear Chloe,

Hey girl! How’s life?

Well things are going good here. Making new discoveries everyday, I am. I’ve found out another one of the devil’s clever schemes. (So astute he is, bah-humbug)

Remember those cute bikinis we wore at the pool. Oh yeah, and remember those shirts with low v-neck collars, short shorts, mini-skirts, and skinny jeans we used to wear to the mall. Yeah, those cute things we used to wear to catch guys’ attention. Well, I found out it’s all part of an evil plot to make us look like worthless animals built only for man’s pleasure.

I was so stupid to think that those things were just the style of the day. Oh, we turned some heads all right, probably the heads of all those guys who’s only purpose in life seems to be going to bed with every girl they bite into. Well, you know what happens when you get involved with a guy like that, he’ll leave you in the street like every other girl he’s met. Don’t think you can change him because only God can do that.

Oh Chloe, you are my best friend and I only want you to have the best…that means even the best guy. But if we intend on luring in the right guy we need the right kind of bait…and I learned that sexiness is NOT the answer.

You know Solomon? He was like only the wisest king that ever lived. Well anyway, he described a ‘woman whose heart is snares and nets’ as ‘more bitter than death’. ‘MORE BITTER THAN DEATH?!’ Yeah really, I want to smell of a decomposing carcass! Give me a break! So cover up girl, because one day a very rare catch will come your way, a man who does not notice your body but notices your endearing service to God. You will catch a man who will treat you as the treasure of his heart instead of a bedtime toy. LYLAS!

~Your BFF~

P.S. We need to go shopping sometime! ;)
