FW: vent novel, more of a rant this time. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever been placed a bet with someone? You've probably won a few times over. You've probably lost too. You bet because you wanted to save your best friend's reputation. You bet because someone insulted your sibling. You bet because that one person really makes you upset. ... You bet because your friend is going to d_e soon. ... Who does that? Who calls their 'friend' to remind her she's going to d_e? Who calls their 'friend' to bet on how long she has left to live? "I bet you twenty bucks she'll pass tomorrow. "I bet you ten that [placeholder for privacy] won't be invited to the funeral." "I bet she'll pass today." "Oh! [Scrunchie], we didn't notice you joined!" WHO DOES THAT!? You just hang up and never talk to them again, right? You block all their contacts and quit the tennis team. You never want to see their faces again. The only 'friends' you know in real life. All the other friends are just pixels. Anonymous people behind other screens. You're so lonely. At the same time, you'd rather it be this way than with them. Those who bet on your life. You conserve the joy for the real ones. They were obviously fake.
lowk who the heck does that. worst day of my life.
