Stepping Up.
All my life, I have been hiding behind other people. I have been keeping my mouth shut so I wouldn't hurt people. My mother always told me to do whatever we want as long as we don't step on anybody. This is the part where I stand up for myself. This is the part where I say "I've had enough".
Yes, I've had enough.
I've had enough of you, belittling me. Saying bad things about me, announcing to everyone how insensitive and annoying I am. I make a single mistake, and you take me off of your damn list of friends. Hell, who do you think you are? Is it so easy to you to just switch me on and off as your friend, whenever you feel like it? You probably think you're too high up on your pedestal, with your rich and famous friends. Friends that aren't allowed to be my friends; yes, you've said that in your blog entry. You're all high and mighty that you own your own circle of friends, and other people aren't allowed to be a part of it.
I know you have problems, I know you're battling a really huge family crisis. Damn it, don't put it out on me. Don't ever say that I am your pretend friend, and that I am one of those you don't know or didn't know at all. How dare you, really. I am infuriated by your actions, by your sense of judgement of what is right or wrong. I looked up to you. I don't know if you're blinded by all the glitz and glamour of your high-profile life, of your gigs and tours. I may not be always there for you physically, but I care. I care for you enough to still worry about you, now that I know you're fighting for your daughter. I begged Alvin to talk to you, to give you strength. But then, I saw that post. No, that new post. Not the one where you attacked my identity.
I saw that posts where you said you deleted your multiply contacts: people you didn't know, or didn't really know at all.
This is the part where I put my foot down. I've had enough.
You can degrade me all you want. Say that you hate breathing the same air and to be under the same sun as me, and that I quote. People may be under your spell, with all your coolness, but I see through you. I see that what you did is not right. You attacked me infront of other people, you might've not said that it was me, but it doesn't matter. I speak to someone when I have issues with them, not attack them infront of others, make a fool out of them or shame them. What you did was wrong, I will not take revenge but I will take you off of your pedestal. In my head, you're not the one I admire anymore. You're not the one who I want my husband to be best pals with, you're not allowed to be the best man in our wedding. You do not get to be all cool when I am around. Because I know who you are.
You are as screwed up as I am; if not, you are possibly worse. You're scared to face your problems by yourself, and you shine the light upon others so that they wouldn't notice how scarred you are. You prey on others, you blind them.
Please, please, please. Stop judging others and attacking them. You should start fixing yourself.
I know you're afraid, I know you're lost. That's why I've always tried to support you whenever I feel you're down. It's time for you to stand up on your own. Let's see if your contacts now would see through you. Let's see if they're the real friends.
It was a long journey of self-discovery for me. It was a long long rocky road where I slipped, I cried, I suffered... And you could just talk about it with such hate so easily, because you are annoyed. It might be such an easy task for you, but what I've gone through is not worth having you as a friend only to step on me.
I am stepping up... For the first time, for myself.
