I mean it's literally all about her

and the small village, city, most magical place on earth, Lahaina, burned to the ground over the last few days. And to make the situation worse my young niece, her husband, and their little boy had just arrived for a very needed vacation before she started up her school year

This is thoughtful to you? Oh yes, your young niece missing her vacation is what made the Maui fires even worse than they already were. Not the island being decimated, but that her niece was missing a vacation

This was the worst part to me. People are dying horrible deaths and her "situation even worse" moment is someone didn't get a vacation?

People write these things when they're emotional, they're not writing a book or an article for the NY Times. They're not thinking clearly.

Girl stop and miss me with defending this mess. This ain’t a journal. This is her public Instagram page where she made a purposeful choice to center this horrific tragedy around herself and her nieces missed vacation and broadcast it to the world. Y’all can go somewhere else with that

You can also not put every random thought you habe out into the world the very second you have it.

Under no circumstance is

my house and the surrounding area was not burned...Jess said there were three doves at the house the whole time. There have never been doves there ever. The end result could have been very different.

Thoughtful when people have died and the island was burning

[sweetwaterlane]

i don't even get what doves have to do with anything. Is she suggesting that they were protecting her house?

I hope not because it makes me see red when people who survive a tragedy that other people did not start with the selfish spiritual/religious talk. "Someone was looking out for us!" but not the dead people apparently, because fuck them.

"there were three doves at the house the whole time. There have never been doves there ever. The end result could have been very different."

She's 100% saying her house was being protected lol

[sweetwaterlane]

i figured but hadn't heard of doves being used to symbolize protection. Peace, yea. And ugh that is just so infuriating. Doves were there to protect your million dollar property while letting people and animals burn alive.

[shangri__la]

I mean, Edge of Seventeen, white winged dove...she's clearly God's favorite

[ginainabottle]

I don't mean this agressively but if that's your sober opinion, please look at your life, look at your choices.

I see what you all are saying, and since I can't edit my comment, I shall simply delete it.
