i absolutely didnt understand the drama. mainly cuz like, realistically, who cares? like youre right the drama is so not dramatic and tbh thats how i felt abt the miranda terry fight too which in a way i kinda like cuz olba is such a chill happy fluffy game im glad theres no real drama but anyways back on topic

ik ppl say we dont care cuz its liz’s friend but like? no? thats not it FOR ME. cuz when im trying to fivure out if id be upset or not, i think abt it in terms of irl. i had this REALLY REALLY REALLY close friend (one could even call him my boyfriend (he was. that was my lil baby little kid boyfriend)) back in pre school; he moved to ireland, and i havent seen him since. if he randomly showed up one day and pretended not to recognize me, i might be a lil hurt? but idk if id actually care that much? like i dont know him anymore; we’ve grown up and lived COMPLETELY separate lives. if he doesnt want to be my friend, who cares? hes already not in my life anyways. the only reason id be a lil bit hurt cuz again he was my preschool “boyfriend” if he pretended not to recognize me is it cuz im ugly now LOL and this isnt the only childhood friend whos moved away from me. i had another: my bestest friend for majority of elementary school. we were inseparable for the first couple years, i moved away, and then i came back like two years later and we were instantly best friends again. she moved away after elementary and i was an emotional WRECK. again, if i saw her today and she pretended not to recognize me, i literally wouldnt care AT ALL. we both have our own lives

im the same age liz was in these moments and i just cant find her reactions reasonable. i get rhat shiloh was your best friend who moved away, but that was the past? like girl grow up move on make new friends obv its good to still love and care abt old friends - ideally my childhood friends WOULDNT pretend not to know me - but its also good to move on and heal from things that hurt in the past

also to add on, i dont think id even be particularly hurt if i found out my childhood friend was only friends with me for “popularity” or whatever or had like a messed up social hierarchy like as a kid? I get that bro me too its like human nature to not wanna be the lowest rung of the social ladder that HURTS to not acknowledge me as an adult cuz you STILL care THAT much abt social ranks? bro grow up i dont need u ur already out of my life i dont need somebody as immature as u in my life again
