I didn't say it made us better than anyone else. I don't know why everyone reads that meaning into it. People are fucking terrified of being "special," no matter how much lip service they give the whole "it's good to be different" bullshit. Being special is scary, not because there's anything wrong with you, but because of the way people treat you for it. I should know, I spent a whole lifetime trying to not be special. Fucking desperately, and look at all the good it did me.
And let's not pretend like P:A is something previously untarnished. They killed kids and shit. Facts. A mole was the least of their problems.
It just sucks that it happened when it did. December 1 has been my dad's trial start date for months, and it was like all of a sudden the media cared about me again. Couldn't have been worse timing. I'm pissed. But I'll get over it. I can't let this shit ruin my life again.
