>my best friend from highschool killed himself at 21
>in the aftermath i end up forming a friendship with his oldest friend
>chuddy guy, have had a lot of moments where i questioned if i really wanted to hang out with him
>felt i couldn't abandon him since we had that shared history and i knew his life is kinda fucked up
>eventually (like 9 years later) he has developed severe mental illness (he can't work), his mother has died, his stepdad and brother are abusive, he's lost various friends because of his mental illness
>i never abandoned him even though he pisses me off sometimes, when he got kicked out of his house i told him he can stay at my place as long as he wants (he didn't end up needing it)
>i got to the point where i had started HRT and nobody that i know irl knows
>he's the first and only person i've told irl
>he doesn't really comment on it whatsoever (he barely believes it, thinks im kidding), just nervously says he supports me
>ever since then he's become much more open with me, more supportive of me (like in general, looking out for me)
>chudbro is my closest friend & confidant and we're always there for eachother

idk it's just cool that humanity can defy this bullshit. world is alright sometimes
