Setting the story straight once and for all, then I'll retire.
At Kevin's request, I did not post a reply to the entry with the unprovoked bash material directed at Kevin. I am, however, using my own journal space to say what I must. As it was rightly pointed out, this is MY journal, and I will speak from experience and not seek anyone's approval on what is said. I will now make it clear that I care neither about who reads this, nor what you personally think about Kevin. You are, of course, more than welcome to post responses here, should you feel it necessary to do so. I have taken into account that the individual to which I am responding is 18, and obviously understands nothing about heartbreak, despite her "profound" love for God and knowledge of the scriptures, therefore, I will try to be lenient and fair in my response to follow.
Since you seem to be finished, Kourtney, allow me to retort. One of the first things you will learn in college, is that you do not make gross generalizations, and certainly not without further specifying a statement and offering supporting quotations and evidence. If "the majority of what he says is ridiculous," then do tell just what it is that he says you think is ridiculous. Until you offer a quotation or explain yourself in just a pinch of detail, this is nothing but an empty statement.
One thing I will say you should stop doing immediately, is pretending that you have even an incling of an clue as to how he is feeling about Samantha. I would wager that you have, at best, seen Kevin a few times in your life. You must know something the rest of us do not, since I have known him for many years, and you have known him for a considerably lower amount of time. Don't you dare say he's acting like his world has fallen apart and that he believes Samantha is a terrible person without offering support. His world may well have fallen apart at this point, and all you are doing is turning a cold shoulder and mocking everything you claim to believe. By that, I mean that you always seem to find space to thank God and tell us how blessed you are, yet I don't believe I found a word of compassion in your entry, unless of course you can count feeling sorry for someone as having compassion. Maybe you should pull the plank out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's.
Another piece of irony I find in what you have to say is the fact that you think Kevin should be able to accept the fact that Sam and he aren't together and be friends. You then follow up by telling us that you did not want to talk to your ex. What kind of friendship is that? Does anyone else detect a hint of hypocrisy? It's good that you can find all this space to lecture someone a good four years older than you, when you can't come close to dealing with your own set of problems. My best guess is that it's easy for you to lecture him, who is going through an extremely difficult time, when everything is running smooth for you. Maybe we can all come tell you how to feel when you have a breakup with the person you're in love with. Since people break up all the time, it should be nothing for you to be able to drop your man at anytime, right?
Because you are young and immature yourself, I will pardon these insults. I have known Kevin ever since you were in the 3rd grade. I believe I know just a little bit more about him than you. And even at that, I cannot pretend for a moment that I know what either he or Sam are feeling. You can drop the act at anytime, because you aren't fooling anyone but yourself. You need to do a number of things before telling someone to grow up, young lady. Kevin will get through this just fine, but rest assured not because of anything you have said. If he is to stop feeling sorry for himself, it will be because he has made the conscious decision to do so, not because some 18 year-old girl who understands nothing about others' feelings deemed that he should do so. No one needs a lecture from you, I assure you. Save them for people that know what they're talking about.
For the record, Kevin is 22, does in fact live with his mother, does in fact work at wal-mart, and as a result, does not play warcraft all day, seeing as how he is at wal-mart working on many days. Since you found it convenient to take a jab at him there, you can also take one at Jesus, since he was nothing but a carpenter. Kevin has an outstanding ACT and GPA from high school, and can succeed through college at any moment. He is unsure of what he wants to do, which is why he still isn't at that point. But since you took so much time to rationalize all these things before taking jabs at him, I'm fully confident you already knew these things as well. Don't kid yourself into thinking you or Sam either one are a bit better than he, and that he cannot move on. He can, and he will. The fact that you feel it necessary to take jabs at someone you barely know proves just how immature and insecure you are. Good to see you show your true colors finally.
With all due respect, I'm pretty sure the "woe" is all on your end of the table.
