First Fix-it Project

Dear Former-Showerhead,

I hate to say it, but it's just not going to work out between us. And it's not me, it's YOU.

When we first got into this relationship, I really thought that something might happen. Maybe it was presumptuous of me, but I began imagining what our life together might look like down the road. You'd spray ample amounts of water and I'd take long, satisfying showers. But from the very start, I was fooling myself. Instead of seeing you for YOU, I was projecting all my hopes and wishes onto you and simply hoping you'd grow and change and become the showerhead I wanted you to be. But that's just not fair to you OR me. The truth is, you are not a good showerhead. You DON'T provide amble amounts of water. You dribble. And I think you might even be spraying some other people on the side. Don't try and hide it. I know. I've talked to Dave.

So I am starting to see someone else, Former-Showerhead. It started as a casual thing, in the aisles of Menards, but I can already see that New-Showerhead is really going to provide for my needs in ways you never could. I used a wrench to make sure he was installed good and tight, so I'm pretty sure he's here to stay. I think it would be easier for all us of if you would just go. Don't go away mad. Just go away.

Sincerely,
Becca
