I Studied Abroad in Africa!, Fan Mail from Loyal GGTA Reader

Fan Mail from Loyal GGTA Reader

If any of you wonder about what kinds of emails we get on the regular, here is a prime example. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did!

To Whomever it Concerns:

Have you ever been to Africa before? Do you do charity work? Maybe these girls are privileged, maybe they have more money than you and that makes you feel insecure but at least they’re making a difference. What are you doing besides sitting on your ass and writing this blog which contributes NOTHING to society. Even if all these girls do is make kids smile in Africa, that’s more than you’re ever going to do. You do realize that these kids are starving, they hardly have anything, their parents are dying of AIDS and therefore becoming orphans. Life in Africa is pretty grim, to the point where I personally cannot even imagine what these babies are going through and how despite everything they’ll never give up. So even if these girls just make them smile or laugh for an hour or two hours, that’s two hours that they’re not thinking about how much they’re starving, or how poor they are, or the dangers that they have to endure day after day. I think that’s pretty awesome.

I don’t know you, I’ve never met you but because you think that you can judge other people I’m going to go ahead and judge you. You were probably one of those mean girls who made fun of your classmates for being overweight, having acne, not dressing in brand name clothes, who maybe be a little shy. You took their insecurities and used it against them because you had low self-esteem. You were one of those girls that never had to work for anything in her life because mommy and daddy bought you anything you needed. When you were 16 you got a car. It might not have been a lexus or a mustang like some of the other kids in schools but you got a descent civic or corolla. Your parents splurged on a nice prom dress maybe not a $300 Betsy Johnson dress but a beautiful $150 dress from David Bridals that came with a mani/pedi and a hair appointment the day of the prom. During college your dad sent you $50 a week so you wouldn’t have to get a job during college. You could just spend your nights partying and your days sleeping. I’m sure you have a great life.

So the next time you want to shit on someone for trying to make a difference just remember you’ll never be half the person they are and no matter what you do you never will. So get the fuck off your ass and go do something productive you ignorant twat. Knowledge dropped.

Hugs and kisses,

XXXXXXX
