The things I otherwise would've said had you been more accepting.

I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle or the beginning of the end of act 2 of an arc of some sort. So far, this arc has been shitty . Shitty, shitty, I tell you. However, not all is lost, since if you're familiar with fiction writing or story, there's this little thing called "character development."  So naturally, I resort to chalking this all up to my character progress, but I'm not sure. I guess you call unsavory things what you want them to be, no? So, anyway, if you're not familiar with the concept, I'll give you a brief explanation: A story is typically divided into 3 acts, of which the main character goes through the beginning of his/her journey, finds a struggle, and resolves the issue through reinventing himself/herself. The issue usually is one that changes the character's fundamentals and is typically followed by the character's development. Some choose to be better versions of themselves, and some choose to go the other direction.
