It was really hard to go back and re-read what I wrote to you last week —

I feel it is important to explain to you where that came from; to do that, I need to tell you what happened with my ex-best friend Julia.

She was a commuter student at Hood who I spent a lot of time integrating into my college crew. In 2016, on the immediate cusp of our wedding she became displeased with me for imagined reasons and would proceed to spread vicious lies to turn the majority of our shared friends into my enemies.

Morgan and I have just reconciled very recently, because of the conversations related to my assault, tbh.

I don’t think it will be until after my trip — that is, if you’d like to hear the story — but I thought you should know my reaction was due to a precedent, from one of the most difficult betrayals among the many Ive told you about.

I am still so sorry; you are not her.
