Wow, I’m hurt. I’m truly, truly offended. How dare she. How dare that (however awesome) friend in my life do something so evil, so malevolent, so criminal? That wretched being slapped me in the face with the knowledge that she thought would be helpful…but was it? Was it?
She had the absolute audacity to recommend a non-waterproof mascara to me—someone who is emotional and distraught on a daily basis. I weep every morning—every night like there’s no tomorrow. As Ariana Grande once mumbled so no one could understand: “no tears left to cry.”
But actually—there are. The tears flow like a river, and I, vulnerable me, had to endure the abuse from someone who I call a friend. Friend my ass!
I want to let all the innocent and helpless people out there who are recommended a mascara that isn’t waterproof during a damn pandemic, that you can stand up for what you believe in. Stand up to that hater—that monster, and boldly say, “But I cry. I cry more than you know. You should know this.” I promise you will feel a sense of empowerment that no other human has ever felt before—not a soul.
You are a strong, independent, beautiful human being who deserves better. You deserve a friend who knows you so deeply and understands the state of the world on such a level that they would never do something so vile…ever. Remember: you are worthy, and you are right. You’re just so right, it hurts.
