dear john,

 Dear Breakfast Cereal,

Regretfully, we cannot see each other anymore.  It’s not you, it’s me.  When we hooked up I was just a kid and didn't know what I was looking for or who I was.  You have many great qualities, you are so much more than fortified.   My parents love you, my kids love you.  With fruit and skim milk you are a well balanced meal and yet it is not working for me.  I find you delicious and filling when we are together but when you leave you take everything from me.  I become empty like a zombie.  I shake, I sweat, my headaches, all I can do is sleep.  I need the breakfast I choose to lift me up not tear me down.  I need to be supported in the areas of my life which happen after 9:45 a.m.  I know I have said this all before and it is I, who keeps coming back for more.  Please excuse me for saying so, but you are so quick and easy it is why I find myself returning over and over to you, out of convince and it is I, not you, who pays the price for this later.    

Further more we have always know this relationship must end.  We knew from the start we had no future since you are not a locally sustainable product.

When we see each other in the kitchen let’s both agree to be friendly for the sake of the children.

Sincerely,

Misty
