Transcript
Gossiping about how I handled the worst year of my life instead of calling to check on me is actually insane. If you actually believed I was struggling, why was your first instinct not to call me? Why wasn't it, hey, man. Are you okay? Do you need anything? Instead, the people who knew me best just disappeared. Some of them talked about me instead of talking to me. And that is the part that I cannot wrap my head around. Because if I saw somebody going through the worst season of their life, I would not make them a conversation topic. I would make sure that they weren't carrying it alone because that's what friends do. That experience taught me something that I will never forget. Some people do not leave because you are hard to love. They leave because compassion was never their first instinct. Damn.
