Okay so I would like to share some lessons that I have learned.
When your life suddenly gets itself into a sticky situation:
You cannot assume that being a generally nice and altruistic person will buy you a "get out of jail free" card. People will judge you without really trying to be in your shoes.
You cannot assume that people will be understanding. Because not everyone will be, and it will be a struggle for you. It will hurt especially when it is someone you care about.
That is all.
Perhaps I'm feeling extra jaded, bitter and angry now because I am so sleep deprived. I'm gonna take a nap.
