So, it's come to my attention that at least two people have been afraid to talk to me about Zac because they think I'd get mad that they miss him, like they didn't earn it.
Just because you didn't spend a ridiculous amount of time with him doesnt mean your feelings aren't legitimate, and I certainly don't pretend that my grief grants me some sort of priveledge to tell people how to feel about him.
I will actually respect you more if you talk about Zac without being inhibited. Don't hide things from me just for my sake. You're actually doing more harm than good by not talking to me about him, because it makes me happy to talk about him.
It's true that I now feel really uncomfortable that so many people know my name just because they heard me speak at his funeral or saw me play his role in the play, but that's basically all I have to deal with that you don't. Yea, Zac is a huge part of my life. Yea, it hurts like a bitch that he's gone. However, I think that I have it a lot easier than people who weren't always with him in some ways. So don't think that I'm a grief snob. I dont think that I'm the only person who is allowed to grieve. It hurts me that people think that I feel this way.
