An informal letter to my broken-heartEd nephew
Hi Paquito,
I've just heard about you breaking up with Marta.
My first reaction was to remain mute (or quiet); I didn't want to rub salt in your wound. However, when your parents told me you were rejecting to go out and were stewing in your own juice, I changed my mind.
Paquito, be aware that this isn't going to be the only stumbling block coming across you, life is never smooth sailing. I think this is the first moment of truth in why you have to take the bull by the horns and get a new leash on life. You can't remain at home like a cat licking its wounds, Marta and your relationship belongs in the past; please, face that wonderful incoming future you have before you.
Right now, you're not being able to see the forest for the trees, but belive me, my dearest nephew, you're in the prime of life, and coming back to your ordinary life and studies will do your heart very good. In a few months you'll feel free as a bird and that bad taste in your mouth will have been thrown down the drain.
Again, let bygones be bygones!
Charming regards,
Uncle Vicente
P.S. By the way, although Marta was beautiful and smart, she was always behaving arrogantly and condescendingly towards your parents
