Now that I've come down a little from my freakiness and have come to regret some things that I said to my friend.
You will say some hurtful things some time. I did. I deeply regret them and apologized many times over. You might not think about them because you are hurting, you can't see past yourself at the moment, but my friend is right, "The world doesn't revolve around you," and though that really sucks to hear because you are at such a lowpoint, when you poke your head around that outside of your realm is the reality of everyone else and their own little worlds. Those worlds sometimes collide or intersect and really beautiful or catastrophic things happen. But know that you are responsible for what you put into the world, intentionally or not. These might sound a bit harsh, they really are, but it's something to own up to.
If you excuse me I need to devour some of the pie I made.
