A Letter To Ana

Dear Ana,

I do not know you. I have never met you personally. However, I know that you exist because you know some of my friends. Having common friends with you is not pleasant at all. I just want to make one thing clear from the start on — I do not want to be friends with you. I do not appreciate your existence. I dislike you for being persuasive and dominant. You are able to control the lives of others. You are able to influence the lives of others — the lives of my friends.

I wondered several times what you look like. I bet, you must have a very appealing appearance. Not only you figure is desirable for my friends but also, your character has to hold something special in it. Something which attracts so many people to you. This something has to be extraordinarily special because you are able to cast a spell over so many different people who are actually not alike. They only have you in common. You charm people at the age of ten, thirty or even fifty and above. You befriend people no matter what gender they are. You captivate thin, fat, healthy, unfit and athletic people. I wonder what you do in order to tantalise all these people. What is so special about you? I guess if I would know the reason I would just belong to all your friends. I then would be captivated by your appearance like all the others. And I definitely do not want that to happen. When you become very close with my friends, you take them away from me. You tear them away. I am not able to reach out to them anymore. They get isolated just because of you. Ana, you literally engulf them.
