im so unbelievably angry, disusted, and utterly sickened. when you put your trust into someone, only to find everything you knew about them was a lie. it kinda makes you question trust in people. with friendships that aren’t eye to eye all the time, trust is a huge factor that must always be maintained. but someone broke my trust…
remember renea that i spoke of this weekend? i have never had a friend die in my life. i considered her a friend. well, turns out she never existed. that persona was a product of a husband and wife. its started out as a joke (the avatar renea), but when they felt it got too serious, they decided to kill her off. i dont know if they realized it, or if they did (which im sure they did), but renea became a real person in the eyes of many. it was an elaborate hoax which involved the husband pretending to be renea’s brother and calling (on the phone) some people to update them on renea’s condition while in the hospital, and later on her death. real life pictures were faked (every pic of renea given out was actually the wife. growing up, pics of vacations with her father in europe, the whole nine yards. on sunday, people closest to her held a rememberance event in there. and well over 100 people showed up to sign the tagboard with messages remembering renea. a paypal account was set up in order to take donations to help send flowers to the family. i myself even donated. today, i guess they felt guilty, and rather have hundreds of people grieving over the loss of a friend, they came out and told the truth… understandably, everyone affected was outraged. if you are reading this, and have no idea how it felt. imagine a good friend that you talk to on any instant messenger daily die. hurts a bit doesn’t it? death isn’t a joke. emotions are not a joke. real people are behind those names you talk to every day. real emotions are attached to words typed here. its sad that someone can be so cruel. “renea” was passed ownership of a popular there newspaper. she ran it, and became more than just a friend to the staff of 26 people. i believe the writers and staff at calderasuntimes.com was hurt most of all. its such a shame. i planned on working on my resume tonight, but for the past few hours, ive been too upset, and fielding IM’s from people just finding out. im sorry, but after experiencing this… if anyone were to break my trust in them, i dont think i could ever speak to them again let alone be friends with them… trust is just so important to me.
