My Final Thoughts

[airah4]

I've had an epiphany. It came to me tonight after I was working hard on a script with one of my close friends.

One year ago, I started a fansite on here (

Well, since everyone else did, I thought I'd put in my final two cents. I feel pretty calm and relatively happy at the moment, with everything I've been able to do in my real life, and for the good people online I have been fortunate enough to meet.

But for the record, I do think I have the right to say this.

One thing I can say for Victoria is that I was never friends with her. Therefore, she never owed me anything and I never owed her anything. Despite how horrible the things were that she was doing to us, at least we never had a claim of "friendship" behind that.

I can't say the same for Jass (doi2life) and Kristi (aaalove). These were two people that I tried to get to know as people and who I was truly friends with. I don't make friends lightly. And they both betrayed me, for the most superficial reasons I can think of...

doi2life: Because you didn't like a rule I put in place for the AAA roleplay? It wasn't even a serious rule, only that you had to wait for every person to have posted at least once before you posted again. It was a rule specifically listed in the roleplay rules at the top of the thread, and a rule no one else except you had a problem with, which eventually led to you fighting with me and getting angry that you had broken an obvious rule.

aaalove: I still don't quite understand what happened here. At first I thought you turned on us because we had removed you as friends on Facebook. However, that happened months ago, and as you already knew, that was because several "fakes" or whatever they were on your friends list were telling both you and me that they could see my personal information from your page. One of them even recited one of my statuses back to me. Since I have high privacy settings up and they could see that, you knew why I had blocked you, and you were fine with it then. Plus, two days before you backstabbed us, you were talking with us about Soup Opera like nothing was wrong. So I still don't quite get it. All I see is a petty girl who backstabbed her friends for the sake of her image. And I have no use for friends like that.

Anyway, that's the long and short of it. Our site is doing very well, much better than I could ever have possibly expected at this stage, and our 1-year anniversary is coming up. I will continue to work hard, both on that site and in my real life, and will never let petty internet people ruin that for me. =)

And shroomko, I just need to say...beautiful icon. <3

This is the point where I quote the infamous phrase, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Anyone who is so quick to turn on their friends was never a friend to begin with. When I keep that thought in mind, I realize that it's better this happened. It's better they backstabbed me through something petty like the internet than in real life. And I don't think you or I will be any worse off without them. I think we'll be much better, in fact.

Anyway, that's the long and short of it. Our site is doing very well, much better than I could ever have possibly expected at this stage, and our 1-year anniversary is coming up.

^ That's the spirit. If that's what makes them happy in life, let them have their happiness. You have a happiness of a different kind, and you should be glad for that. &hearts That was was my epiphany. That I've spent so much time worrying about other people and their "happinesses" or what they were doing to me, that I wasn't focusing on the good things I do have in my life, things I should be super grateful for and things I shouldn't waste my time trying to fight trouble-makers on the internet for. It's funny how the internet can become your real life, right? I'd say let's not make it ours anymore, not when we've got a future to look forward to.
