** sigh **

The feels!

Damn! I need to got back to sleep!

But I keep waking myself up with coughing.

I don't know if that was directed towards me, but yes - I miss you every day.

I warned you, though.
I told you I would hurt you, even though I never meant to.
I told you I needed to be heard, too, and I often wound up talking to myself.
I tried to repress my true self, because he's good at nothing more than self-pity and misery.

I'm considering joining the service.
I'd probably snap in basic, or get the shit beat out of me for being too passive.
Maybe it's time for that.
Maybe, at my very core, I'm an ugly, spiteful, hateful, hurtful being.
Maybe I should stop caring about the world around me, and start killing it instead.

It seems to be the only real knack I possess, so why even pretend anymore?
Why not get paid for the havoc in my wake?

Dude, what?

It wasn't directed at anyone. I thought it was relevant to everyone who had been through a similar experience to the one outlined in the comic. It strongly reflected how I felt about the first boy I dated from sixteen to eighteen and a little bit of the two relationships that followed. I'm pretty sure lots of people can relate. There are no parallels between that comic and you and I having spoken regularly in the past.

I don't feel hurt by you. We stopped talking. That's OK. If I ever feel the need to talk to you about our past interactions, I'll do so in private. Would you extend the same courtesy to me? I'm very uncomfortable with what you're doing here.

vincent_richter · 10-09-2013

Eh, like I said, I float between ennui and a real dark side these days.
You're a big trigger for that, but I should at least give you the courtesy of realizing you're unique.

As for my innermost demons, they are my own to contain or express.
Trying to dictate my actions regarding them will gain you nothing but my condolences.
They make you uncomfortable?
Good, that means you're experiencing one iota of what I do every day.
I get to relive this battle every day, and I'm just so tired.

You're hardly unique in seeing the "real me."

Was just going through this with someone today.......and I had just managed to settle down...then I read this.

BRB...going to go cry now.

Bozo · 10-09-2013

I've done the no-save letter before. And it was written for pretty much the same reasons as the one in the comic.

vincent_richter · 10-09-2013

I'm sorry, Keile. *huggles*

Yeah, same here. Only I decided against even typing it by the time I had it all planned out mentally. After that point I just broke all contact from her, even when she tried contacting me.

Rachel Bronwyn · 10-10-2013

So, not the same at all, really.

I actually, just the other day, found a saved letter I'd written for a guy I dated for a very short while who treated me like shiiiiiiiit. It was the opposite of this. It was me foaming at the mouth, telling him everything I wanted him to hear in hopes he could tangentially grasp the harm he'd done to me. I spent eight months after the last time we spoke in tears over him. Interestingly enough, now I'm entirely ambivalent towards him. I've got no love for him and he was definitely the worst boyfriend I've had but I have no desire to see him feel badly. Felt like it would never be possible but I let go of that and found something way better.
