I've lost three of my friends on Wattpad today because of a slip up someone had in real life.

I'm gonna try and explain how I feel without throwing up.

And before you get your guns ready to fire, I am NOT here to bash Hope, and I am NOT here to bash Kitty. I'm not even here to talk about the incident. And I'm here to talk about the crazed aftermath.

First of all, not everyone on here has to like each other. But just like in real life, we should all respect each other. I think everyone's done a relatively good job of that until today.

Secondly, it may not seem like it, because we can't see each other, but we are all similar. Outside of Wattpad, no matter your age, we go to school, do chores, have jobs, and do extracurricular activities such as sports or band or clubs. Some of us go to church, some of us have pets to take care of. We all lead actual lives.

Which leads into my second statement. We are all humans. We all make mistakes, we all have emotions, and we all have our own opinions and people we want to protect.

None of us our robots behind these screens. Me? I'm a 17 year old girl who goes to a poor school district is MetroDetroit, Michigan. I have brown, curly hair and blue eyes. My mom has always told me that's rare. I have a lot of physical flaws. I am overweight for my height of 5'4". I have a big nose. I have hairy arms. I am a senior at my school, have an accumulative GPA of 4.0, and was above average with my SAT scores. I'm in my school's National Honor Society, and even though I don't attend church, I believe in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Heaven and Hell, and I believe that makes me Christian. I play Division 1 soccer for Wayne-Westland Girls High School Open Arsenal Black, and we're not as good as last year, but I'm still having fun. I love to draw and write stories based on the characters I draw. I'm a Centrist; I can see the points of view of both Democrats and Republicans, and have very ambivalent feelings about most political issues.

See how unique that was? Everyone on here is like that! We all lead similar, yet different lives, and that's what makes us different from robots.

But if we're different from robots... Why are we acting like some of us don't have feelings?

I get it, every one makes mistakes and says stuff they shouldn't! Hope did it, I've done it, and no one here is not guilty of it. In my eyes, the only perfect person was Jesus, and he doesn't have a Wattpad.

We can get mad about these mistakes. We can hold grudges over them. You can mute and report everyone you dislike if it makes you feel any better, but at the end of the day... We're all humans. And we have to coexist.

That's not always easy, but for everyone's sanity, please, PLEASE, can we all just let it be? You can't change it, and you don't have to forgive it. I'm not even asking you to forget it- don't worry, I'm one to hold grudges too, I understand- but we shouldn't be chasing each other away from Wattpad.

At the end of the day, please remember; we are all friends at one point. So please... From the bottom of my heart, I beg you to let leave it be.

Please.
