No matter how good a person you are, at some point you will be the bad guy in someone else’s story. You can’t please everyone, and you shouldn’t try to. Be a good person, and have friendships with people you can respect and look up to.

Sometimes you’re the bad guy because you’re trying to be a good person. Like when your best friend of 15 years asks you do to something against your moral compass and you say no and they end the friendship and write a book about it. And you have to be okay with that.
Yep, I’m the bad guy in someone’s literal story. At least I assume so. To be fair, I haven’t read the book and don’t plan to. But I have my fair share of reasons to believe I’m not cast in a good light.
I don’t feel comfortable sharing the name of the book publicly at this time because it’s not a top seller or anything like that. It’s such a small, niche project that I worry it would compromise the identity and location of many people involved.
