Geez, Graham!

Okay, okay, okay. I'm gonna need everyone to stop hating on Graham so hard. Wondering what I'm referring to? Read the story at:

It's a very good short story by a very good friend of mine, and I am having a ball reading it. It's being released in episodes, and I almost want to wait until it's done in order to stop the torture, but I can't resist reading it every time I see a new post.

But Graham is not the bad guy that everyone thinks he is. Yes, his actions in the grocery store were completely shady, and yes, he is somewhat stringing Kandyce along, but c'mon, that, ladies and gentleman, is the nature of college relationships. Don't pretend it isn't. To me, G.Dot is exactly where he needs to be in terms of maturity. And, no, you can't compare him to Stokely, because Stokely is ahead of the curve. Y'all stop hating on Graham. You're only doing it because you know someone just like him, and you really like that person, but sometimes his mannerisms and actions irk you. Graham is that person. But he's growing...don't stunt him with your critcisms. He has to go through this, be this way, in order to be a better man. People take different paths, and this is his. I'm not advocating everything he does, and if you're reading the story, I'm learning about him just like you are, so he could take a turn for the worst and prove me wrong, but right now, I think G.Dot is just becoming a man. Seriously, y'all. Cut the brother some slack.
