Are you “special” or just that privileged?

So I’m on Facebook and I see this post:

Hi! I just need to.. get this out of my chest. I’ve been passing for a very bad time of my life this year. I had no job since December. I had two painful losses and… idk my mind was in a very dark place plus I was depending completely on my stash because without a job I cannot make any purchases. So… this beauty… “Princess and the pea kitty” is out of stock. I am from Mexico so I’m not able to buy it in the destash group. So… it was on Amazon and every day I was pending on the stock. Today I finally receive my first paycheck since I got a job last week and with my card ready to buy it… I entered to Amazon site and… sold out. Nothing… I’m so sad. I cried like a baby I swear. Idk why I wanted it so bad and idk why I felt it like the biggest disappointment but trust me… I’m heart broken.

I sent an email to DAC just to know if maybe by any chance they had 1 left but…

So Diamond Art Club kits are huge and like over $75.  But they have some small ones on Amazon.  This one was like $25 at full price.  I know because it’s the only square drill one Amazon had (their website only sells big ones) and I wanted to practice with the squares before I start my behemoth one.  But I didn’t like the style. 

The point is, this is a luxury that is not needed, 100%.  But it’s an affordable one.  She wasn’t aiming for a $100 kit. 

So let’s start with spoiler: Like 5 people offered to get it to her (Amazon just had Prime Day deals on these kits, hence it being gone now.  So a lot of people probably just bought it cause it was super cheap).  So in the end, she’s getting it.  She’s very happy.  The art community was like fuck me, we got a get her that cat picture.  FIND THE CAT PICTURE. 

Except for one person.

One comment didn’t understand what the big deal is. 

So my question is: are you stupid, have no empathy, or really that blessed?

Listen, I’ve been upside down a few times in life.  Like multiple.  I’ve been negative money many many times. I got laid off back in 2010 and weren’t no job to be had.  So if you’ve never been in this situation, I want to tell you this. 

Sometimes you focus on one little thing.  Nothing big.  You wouldn’t dare hope for something unachievable because your heart can’t handle it if you don’t get there.  Maybe you’re gonna eat out with your first paycheck.  Maybe you’re gonna get the good milk.  Just something that is your focus.  And when you get real sad you think about how you’re totally gonna get the good milk soon.  That thought gets you through.  It’s stupid and little, but it’s also the world. 

So for 7 months this girl has been saying, I’m getting that cat picture.  And fucking Prime Day puts it on sale the weekend before her first paycheck and now it’s gone forever.  And she’s distraught and crying because that was her THING.  And now she’ll never have the thing!  But she went through so much for the thing!

How can you NOT empathize with that?  Fuck me, I’ll pay the shipping.

Like is this an internet troll or what? Literally everyone else in the comments is trying to find a copy and offering to help pay to get it to her.  And one dumbass doesn’t understand.
