Re: Rose/Gabriel
You won't find a more bitter woman than me, and I'm here to tell you that avoiding us entirely won't change our views of anything. Your brand of stupid might be precisely what Lauren needed. And the fact that it's even a concern for you means you're not entirely terrible for her. I assume we are talking about Lauren.
Well, there's one exception to that advice, and it depends on your response as to why you aren't free. Why aren't you?
No, I suppose not. But you should ask people how they handled what they found out about themselves. Do it anonymously if you must, but it might help to know you're not alone in your convictions. But, I suspect, not everyone handled it as you did.
