Since, apparently, Tumblr only allows you to reply to a post once, meaning it erases any previous comments you made. Bollocks, I say.

I was discussing that bit of upsetting news with another mutual friend, and we were at a loss for words. Well, words other than colorful expletives. 

For my part, I will vow here and now to try to be happy for my friend, although everything in me believes this friend would be better off alone. At least he knows how I feel about it. No mincing of words here. 

So it goes.
