Dear Jing-Yi,
There were times I went too far from frustration at things you've done, not you as a person, that I chose to keep to myself. What's done is done. I apologize for scarring you, but not for having personal thoughts I didn't tell you face-to-face with an intention of breaking you down. I never shared these thoughts with actual people. What I said was in a place I assumed, incorrectly, to be private. If you feel it's necessary to read back on ALL of my thoughts, print them out as souvenirs, fine. It only defeats the purpose of locking all of my entries while at Hollins.
What I did was the equivalent of bitching among friends. I doubt you've kept all the bad thoughts about this and me from Tess, Vandhana, Preeti, Essie, Megan, Lauren, etc; especially when Vandhana came to mediate. If it means anything to you, I feel just as vulnerable now, not knowing how far this childish ordeal has gotten among your clique, how they look at me now, judging me for what I've thought.
Here is my end of the bargain. It's also the right thing to do because I'd want the same closure if I were in your position. I'm sorry for what my passive-aggressive opinions have done to you and how they'll affect you in the weeks to come. Vandhana also suggested that those who responded personally apologize to you, but it isn't their responsibility to do so. I made those comments about you and they merely responded in their own way. They shouldn't be persecuted either for having thoughts.
Just know that within a week, I will be gone from Hollins and you'll still have that strong group of friends to support you. I can only hope we can move on with our lives as quickly as possible.
