A very good, interesting write about the snakes in this world. It's hard sometimes as you described so well, how to spot them and not become enamored with them. One possible typo, in your first "It waited attacked", shouldn't that just be "attack"? Aside from that, really enjoyed this-well done-

Hello Jessie

A really personal and scathing piece here.
I cannot help but wonder how the greatest thing in the world - love - can be so damaging to so many people and cause so much hurt.
I guess for everything there's a balance, unfortunately. It stands to reason that something that brings such happiness can bring despair when taken away. Anyway, I'm rambling. Great write and I love the extended snake metaphor, by the way.
