Perspective

When facing a crisis, cry often, clean your apartment, curl your hair, do laundry, walk the dog five times a day, and pull up a lawn chair and break out the popcorn, because the people you know are going to separate themselves into groups based on helpfulness and genuine care.

So to some of my friends, thank you so much. I'm not surprised that you're sweet and helpful and amazing, but I'm proud to have you in my corner. You know who you are.

To the majority, what the fuck. That is all.

And to a chosen few...your actions are appalling and scary. May you never be in a situation where you have close contact with a weaker, less self-assured girl. Thank you for being yourself, so I know who to avoid in the future. Maybe you haven't been terrible. But you've been bad enough to shake my optimism in people. Bad enough to make me reconsider being nice. Well done.
