Devious Journal Entry

I just feel like I should say something. 
You are NOT obligated to keep friends around if all they do is hurt you. If you are uncomfortable around them, if they even scare you, don't feel like you have an obligation to keep hanging around them. ESPECIALLY on the internet. dA isn't high school. This is an online community and you never quite know who you are talking to. You do have an obligation to keep yourself safe. Do what you have to do to ensure that you're happy here, and that you're not afraid to be here. Even if it means letting go of people who were once your friends. It's hard and it's sad, but you're allowed to feel safe on your own profile.
