“Dear Cousin Ivan, we were more like brother and sister, until you decided to spoil it all. I know you want to hurt me and that makes me madder than hell, so I both love and hate you at the same time. I have to reveal these things while writing. I want you to know that I hate you. Yet I will not hurt you because I still remember how we used to be so close, like brother and sister, that was until you shoved your dirty, plain-looking, ugly, stupid face into my affairs and broke the bond of brotherly love. Yes I HATE you sometimes, cousin, yet I always try and start again, ignoring the truth, but, no, you have to look at me with your hateful eyes, which I know wish me out of your life for good.”
