Hey, it's me. You'll probably think what I'm about to write is really lame, but I'm human, so bear with me please.
I have cried over little things on Whyville, I have cried over big things. I hate when people are just mean to me for no reason, or a small reason. I really dislike it when people continuously try to "teach me a lesson." It hurts my feelings more than in real life, because it makes me feel like I'm so worthless, even people I've never met don't like me. Yes, that sounds petty, but it's true. The reason I'm writing this is because of one Whyvillian friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, really made me think rationally.
I tend to make decisions without really thinking about them. Someone said a simple thing and it made me feel 100% better than I did before she stepped in. I was in an argument, I guess, clearly losing. The person I was arguing with had much more Whyvillian-influential-power than I did, so it was hard for me to get people on my "side". I felt like everyone who said something did so against me, as to ridicule me. I really felt helpless.
Well, a certain someone stepped in and kindly asked for people to calm down, give me some space to breathe. She said maybe they should look at it from my view. I am an emotional, quick thinking person. I think the person who said that (as cheesy as this sounds) saved . . . my . . . life. Alright, there, I said it. I was going to do something really bad over something so little. I'm embarrassed about that, but at least I'll admit it: I have really sensitive feelings.
If you've stuck up for someone, you can believe they felt as relieved and helped as I did. I was on the verge of tears, of frustration and hate, but I am just not bold enough to tell anyone that I hate them. I was on the verge of something else, too, and thank you anonymous, for changing my mind.
So, yes, something that little can change anyone's life forever. And even end it forever. If you read this and realize you've ganged up on someone, hurt someone's feelings, or did something downright wrong to someone -- maybe you should apologize. I know I'm not the only irrational thinker, or the only sensitive person in the world.
Author's Note: Again, I want to thank this person. You're really sweet, and I bet you honestly didn't even think twice about what you did.
