It's actually a video....but you probably already know that by now :p

You had to make it depressing? But I don't blame you,it's a depressing thought but all you did was point out the elephant in the room, in a way. I know that the writers probably never intended Joytricia to be portrayed this way. But does that mean I should stop thinking about Joytricia in this manner? No...just because something was not intended, does not mean it's not a valid view... but that last sentence, shit. Part of me wants to say that Joy would honestly not take that sort of thing ,but I obviously can't say for sure. I mean, IS she really like that? I feel like she might just be blissfully unaware of how poorly she treats her "best friend", which is probably true, I can't see Joy honestly agreeing on something like that, or doing these things on purpose (without provocation at least...)

That was a long way of saying, I think Joy is a poor friend but doesn't realize it. She just seems to take Patricia for granted and doesn't realize just what Patricia would do for her. This idea is arguably more tragic than the idea that Joy doesn't actually care, because it's one of those things where, if just one thing was different... I am not denying that Joy really might be using Patricia, but I honestly can't see it...at least not in the way that Joy would do it intentionally.

Believe me, I've been through these sort of things before. It sucks... basically I am too loyal and nice for my own good, so I let my friends be...just a bit worse to me than they should be. It's getting better, now I'm really feeling like part of the group. But I totally get the idea. You know that there could be a problem, but you stay on because you are so loyal and attached that you might assume others are,too. Or you let your good intentions take over despite it all....ugh.

Can we talk about something happier? :p this stuff is heavy...

Oh a fanfic I'll try and read it soon :)

Good night, Sis <3
