I'm sad that she's falling so far, meth, trump-supporter, etc, because I really like her. But I like reading all about their shenanigans because, like you said, reassurance. We're all human beings at the end of the day, and no amount of money or fame is going to change th fact that we all make mistakes, that we're all shades of grey.
The fear that any of us could fall into the pit is lessened when we see that no matter your standing, that pit doesnt care. All we can do is keep doing our best.
I hope she gets the help she needs, Pensatuckey was my fav character from OITNB and I hate seeing her become the flaws of that character. She's beautiful, she just needs to stop the meth and licking married mens butts
