>You are a generous, smart, insightful person and just being around you makes my day better.>And you told me the truth about my friends when it wasn't easy, and when you knew it coulda pushed me away. It came close to it, before I realized you were right.>So I owe you the same kindness about your friends. And if you hate me for it, at least I know I spoke my mind honestly to a friend who deserves the truth.>I don't have a bunch of tapes like Colby, but I studied my history, from now to the present. And when I look at the Divine Angels these days, I don't see the most fearsome group in the WWA. I see a poor, broken girl who lashes out indiscriminately and sometimes has just enough talent to win success in spite of herself, a people-pleaser whose need for validation is so strong that she seeks to be friends with everyone and ends up friends with no one, and my sister Colby, who left home a bookish liberal feminist and transformed into a two-faced alcoholic who's nevertheless the best lapdog your money could buy, even if you paid above-market rates for her.>And I see four women who don't seem to realize how lucky they are to have not your money, not your backing or prestige, but YOU, and your friendship. They maybe weren't always bad people, or don't have to be, but if I can be blunt, in your kindness and generosity you've made 'em codependent by propping up their own worst tendencies and letting them get out of control.>I won't tell you what to do with your friends, any more than you told me what to do with mine. I told you my opinion and you've gotta make up your own mind like I did.>Whatever your answer, I hope we stay close.>I wanna see you again real soon.
