hand me a tissue

poor whiner millennial Ariana Grande had a bad year.  i mean really bad.  so much so she had to cry about it while accepting the Billboard Woman of the Year award. 

my 34 year old friend who is in stage 4 kidney failure due to complications from Type 1 diabetes has had a bad year.  she is married with three kids.  one girl in college and two boys in high school.  she is sicker than a dog every day, constant trips to the doctor to be poked, prodded and have blood taken from her.  ER visits when she gets so dehydrated from vomiting so much.  can't keep food down.  is still working full-time to help support her family and keep her health insurance.  and i talked to her today about how she wants to just give up because she's so tired.  she knows she's dying.  she knows there isn't much hope for her.  and she's just exhausted. 

she's not going to see her kids get married.  she's not going to see her grandchildren. 

but Ariana had a horrible year, yo.  she had a breakup with a guy she got engaged to after knowing him for 2 months and her drug addicted ex-boyfriend died of an overdose.  and you know she's had to keep her shit together, yo. 

fuck you.  my friend should be Woman of the Year.  she's gone through more in the last year than you ever will in your entitled, spoiled, little life.
