Hi friends. I'm having a hard time right now. I already vented to the lovely RAOCers on Discord so I won't go into too much detail, but I was supposed to be on my first vacation in a very long time with my best friend of seven years. The trip was gifted to me by family as a very generous congrats for getting my BA. Long story short, last night I found out she isn't as supportive of me or the LGBT community as I thought she was (I came out as bi about 16 months ago). Now she's left the trip and I'm on the trip alone, an ocean away from my boyfriend and my sweet kitty. I'm feeling hurt and lonely. This person was someone I was super close to and I believed we would be lifelong friends. And even though I logically know this isn't true, I can't help feeling like I made a mess of the gift from my family. I'm really trying to have a good time and I was even able to go to a pride event today, but I'm still struggling.

Any happy mail you can send my way would be much appreciated. My boyfriend tells me I have some mail already waiting for me, but I could definitely use the extra support if you have a card to spare.

Thank you all for reading. 💚
