Ah fuck, what am I even supposed to say? I cried. Not just cried, ugly cried. Wept on the kitchen floor in the middle of making dinner.
"Not my best friend, though," Mom continues. "You're my best friend, Nette. You're mommy's best friend."
I beam. I'm so happy to be her best friend, to be the closest person in the world to her.
This is my purpose. I feel whole.
Idk if I got the format exactly right bc I listened to this and never saw the words on a page, but holy fuck that hurt. It all hurt. I was also mommy's best friend and it never should have been that way. Between that and the ED stuff, it all hit a little too close to home, especially for someone who doesn't talk to their parents anymore bc of shit like that.
God damn, dude. It's insane what people are going through that you never know about. I worshiped Sam Puckett, she made me feel like being a Sam was awesome. I wanted so badly to be like her and I'm so, so glad I never got the chance to say that to Jennette's face, now that I know how much she hated being Sam.
Jennette McCurdy deserves every good thing in the world, I hope she's healing in whatever way she needs. I'm so fucking proud of and happy for her. For us. We survived. We're doing better now.
