A few entries ago u commented that you hate people who put RIP Adam in their profiles. i'm just going to bring up another point of view. I put RIP adam in my profile for several reasons. Firstly, i knew him. i wasn't friends with him, but i had had conversations with him before. when i found out he had died it effected me. i remembered talking to him and seeing him and the fact that i would never see him again was upsetting. i put RIP Adam in my profile for Sonja too. it was really hard on her for her cousin to die, and i'm good friends with her. i want to show support for her and also everyone else who was friends with him. thirdly, the YJ community failed Adam and i want to remember that. YJ helps so many people gain self confidence and gives them a place where they feel they belong even if everywhere else they feel out of place. YJ obviously didn't do this for adam and that's wrong. as a member of the movement, i don't want anyone else to slip through the cracks like he did. i'm not writing this to argue with you or fight with you because we've already had our fight and i don't want another one. i just felt like you were angry when you wrote that entry and i wanted to tell you what i was thinking when i put RIP Adam on my profile. this isn't meant to change your point of view cuz i do respect it, but just to show you another one so that you don't look at my profile and others and hate us for it.
Ne ways i'm sorry for everything that happened in the past and i hope that the next time we see eachother things are different. sorry about the car accident.
