Its funny in all the incel looksmaxxing talk people talk about height, hunter eyes, etc. etc. but you don't hear about teeth much. My teeth are so munted, both from genetics but also fights that have left my front teeth chipped. I don't really think about it much because its what I'm used to seeing in the mirror, but I had to record a video of myself recently for work purposes and watching it back like holy shit are my teeth fucked. It's like I'm working with the shards of piano keys. Ah well, I don't care, but it probably makes me look less trustworthy, looking like a meth addict.

Been doing a lot of physical labor recently, renovating my family's house in the woods with my cousin. It does have that quality people larping as peasants or working class always go on about, like how good it feels to have fixes or built something and how good resting afterwards feels, both physically and both in terms of feeling like you've earned it. However, I'm more and more convinced that the meme of the working man being happier than the well paid office worker is just a meme.

It's fall fun and games for me because I make a very good living otherwise with little effort, and I know that there are no deadlines here, no bosses, we are building this for our families etc. It's more like a hobby. If I actually had to work with my hands 8 hours a day all my life I think I'd be miserable. Honestly, fuck honest work, I'll rather do my 2-3 hours a day for better pay from home.

I am severely mentally ill. I do believe I am actually going crazy. At first I thought it was cool. I thought I was just abandoning all my inherited notions, questioning everything, being a philosopher. But now I’ve got to the point where I regularly have moments when I don’t believe anything is real. I woke up this morning and thought “None of this is real. History doesn’t exist. I don’t exist.” It was as though all human history were passing before my eyes, the rise and fall of empires, the gargantuan collective effort of civilisation,—- and it seemed to me nothing but a ridiculous puppet show. I’ve even lost all concern for human life. I watched a YouTube video about terrorists storming some music festival in Israel. And I felt nothing. Just another part of the big pantomime. And yet in the past I had the fiercest belief in justice. Worst of all I don’t even know who i am. What kind of a thing am I? I am a conscious being, true, but am I the receptacle of impressions or the creator of my own perception? What portion of this is created by me? Is Similarity (for instance) inherent in the world or is it created by me? To be honest I don’t even believe there is a difference between “the world” and me. And I hate when people talk about me, especially in a positive way. Yesterday I heard my mother bragging to her friend on the phone, “Konstantin got a first class degree! He might go to Oxford!” And I thought, “Who is this Konstantin?” When I had job interviews and people asked me “tell me about yourself” I could not respond. I tried and the words sounded hollow, fake, as though I was describing something I knew nothing about. So I stopped. I can’t understand people. I can’t understand how they accept this existence and live out the roles assigned to them. I can’t understand how they’re always smiling and happy, especially women. Every time I talk to anybody I fail miserably, and memories of the encounter haunt me for years. I have literal attacks and convulsions from these memories. The worst one being the only date I ever went on: I was physically unable to speak, and picked at the skin of my thumb until it bled, and left the girl there in the cafe alone having ordered and paid for two coffees. I am glad I am out of university now. Because every time I went there memories would haunt me of this encounter.

I don’t know. My pride wants to convince me I am superior to others on account of my half insanity. I almost treasure this state of being although I suffer from it.

Those extra hours sound like could really fuck you up over the long term. We did work 12 hours or more some days, but it was bearable because of all the things I mentioned. Having to do it again the next day and the next would be grueling.

And I worked a manual labor job once, right after I turned 18 during the summer that was 10 hour work days, but that was only 2.5 months and I was 18 at the time. At 18 you are indestructible. Doing the same now would be very different.

So much of Christianity makes sense to me. The Logos, God, Creation, sin, redemption etc. But whenever I read end times prophecies I just can't believe it. It seems so mythological and absurd. A great sea monster will rise from the ocean? God will reign for a thousand years just to let Satan go again? A big square city will descsnd from heaven? There will be no more oceans? There will be eternal reign over a perfect earth? What does everyone do? It's really hard for me to understand. I try to just accept it because I acknowledge that I cants know Gods whole plan.

Depends. Some people have families and want to go home to them. Others have things to do. Some will just consider how the day will go if they spend 1 or 2 more hours after work with workmates and realize it means having 0 free time back home. The people who are most often down for going out after work are those who don't want to go home or have little to no responsibilities and don't mind spending that time with coworkers after work.

So I'm going through my star systems, deciding which planets to terraform and which planets to mine for space drugs and I've found the coolest thing:

A gaia world (optimal habitability for all species) which is plagued by a rust-like exofungus which removes the gaia world perks. I've called the world 'The Fallen Garden' but I'm deciding on a name for the mining outpost; THE FALLEN GARDENS 004 MINING STATION is too long so I was thinking things like this:

Eden (as a joke)
Sallust (after the roman garden builder)
Hortis (my cruiser squadron class ships are already called Cohortis so this might clash)
Pandora (doubtful since I'm saving this for the nebula wormhole or pulsar which the trippiest lightshow)

and basically I'm running out of ideas for the name.

A second option is to ditch the name FALLEN GARDENS entirely and call the world ...X-12 BOTANICAL and just forget the joke entirely.

System is an F Class White Dwarf with a sparse asteroid belt, sandwiched in-between one of my citadel harbors and a populated system, on the borders of the empire, will likely one day see an invasion called THE BATTLE OF THE FALLEN GARDENS which makes the joke worth it.

and then in the episode he finds that TomParis an the 2022 man have a lot in common, Harry gives up trying to integrate the thawed out man and hands him over to Tom, but the thawed out man fares worse under Tom who becomes disillusioned with his anthropological interest in the early 21st century after meeting one and finding that lying and theivery comes second nature.

There's a cool scene where Tom and Janeway talk over coffee about the officer from the USS Singularity(?) who went insane after being stranded in the early 21st century and came back to kill them because he blamed them, the episode ends on a remarkably profound note where Tom and Janeway discuss the barbarism of the past and how it never really seemed real to them.

The thawed out man, thank the gods, is revealed to be found dead in his bed one morning as the cryogenic process was flawed and has turned him into a lump of charcoal. The doctor says that regrettably there's not much he can do.

Harry wanders around the thawed out mans bunk and finds a journal, he sits on the bed and begins to read.

>>It is easy for the young student to-day to ask "Why did they not adjust?" But let him ask himself who there was to adjust. Our modern superstructure of applied economic science, the David Lubin Bureau and the General Directors' Board, with its vast recording organization, its hundreds of thousands of stations and observers, directing, adjusting, apportioning and distributing, had not even begun to exist. Adjustment was left to blind and ill-estimated forces. It was the general interest of mankind to be prosperous, but it was nobody's particular interest to keep affairs in a frame of prosperity. Manifestly a dramatic revision of the liberties of enterprise was necessary, but the enterprising people who controlled politics, so far as political life was controlled, were the very last people to undertake such a revision.

Ever read Schorske's Vienna book? I get the same feeling about Peter Gay's Weimar book too. Cosmopolitan Jews pining for "the good times," aka when there was enough residual European high culture and morality that things stayed "stable" and it was ideal to be a rich parvenu Jew living among them, but not so much degeneration of European high culture that things were uncomfortable for Jews. They really like that "sweet spot" between when they arrive and nestle in, and when they've ruined shit and have to leave.

The whole fetishization of bohemian weirdo culture is just grotesque. I can admire the Vienna of Hofmannsthal's brand of aristocracy and urbanity while also lamenting that 40% of the upper class in Austria and Hungary were rich Jews who "naturalized" (lol) by becoming aggressively "nationalist" for a cosmopolitan nation that allows them to retain their ethnic distinctness.

The only poem that I almost know by heart -

Sie trug den Becher in der Hand
Ihr Kinn und Mund glich seinem Rand
So leicht und sicher war ihr Gang
Kein tropfen aus dem Becher sprang

So leicht und fest war seinem Hand
Er ritt an einem jungen Pferde
Und mit nachlaessiger Gebaerde
Erzwang er, dass er zitternd stand

Jedoch, wenn er aus ihrer Hand
Den leichter Becher nemen sollte
So war es beiden all zu schwer
Und beiden bebten sie so sehr

Das keine Hand die andere fand
Und dunkler Wein am boden rollte

We had to learn it for school. I did not appreciate it at the time. We rewrote it into a morbid parody. Unfortunately, I have forgotten all of the parody.

The funny thing is that in the hungarian part of the monarchy most historians to this day blame the aristocracy and the increasingly impoverished minor nobility and the native middle classes for everything that went wrong during the period rather than the jewish industrialists, the lefty radicals who coincidentally were all jews and who allied themselves with the nationalists of the surroundind peoples, the hundreds of thousands of galician jewish immigrants, or the rural jews who held back the countryside like little else with usury, alcohol, and overpriced goods.

Man i can't tell them off. I still do genuinely love my parents they're just kind of neurotic and sheltered me and my siblings.
They really lack common sense sometimes. My dad was honestly speculating that he was neglectful, meanwhile in reality he was so over careful, doting, and over-supportive that he never let us learn on our own.

I believe you are going through what is called Manic Depression. I imagine it is due to long periods of isolation and social neglect. First thing is that you need to realize that in the interest of preserving time and capital, you should look for validity and credibility in recognized second-hand sources. Over credulity seems to be the name of your illness.

Study up, and then see if it all seems reasonable or not. Buy a microscope if not, observe proof of cell theory. Maybe that will help give you confidence in that not everything is made of lies

There is not much point. Every parent makes mistakes and every parent wonders if they failed. People always avoid what their parents did wrong with them and do something else wrong. You will do the same if you have kids and will only realize once they are adults. It's just my opinion, but I think it's best to leave these things alone, "clearing the air" will just make them feel bad for no reason, over something they can't change. It's not like they are gonna have more kids, so what good will trying to fix wrong ideas about parenting do? If you have kids and they take care of them, it's moot anyway, as people always act very differently with grandchildren.

To me it feels like your parents are just neurotic and don't know how to interact with you now that you are an adult. I assume you are fairly young and maybe moved out recently, so now they don't know how to treat you. You are probably 100% welcome there, but they don't know how to say it without making it sound like you must come, and they don't want to treat you like a child anymore and set your holiday program for you, so they come off as awkward. I've seen this a lot, parents want their kids to come over, but want to make sure they know they don't have to if they don't want as they are adults now with their own lives, so the kids think the parents don't want them to go over. You actually seem to have some of the same traits as them based on these few posts of yours. You don't know how your relationship should look like with them, overthink things, read into things too much and so on.

Once you are an adult, you need to figure out how to interact with your parents all over again. One thing in common among basically everyone I know is that you don't bring up their parenting mistakes. It's in the past, it happened how it happened. If it wasn't the kind of horrible where you don't even want to see them anymore, you just act as if it was great, reminisce about your childhood when the topic comes up. Now you can of course ask questions you could not as a child, but best not to imply that things were bad in some ways.

I see what you mean. I actually did revise the post down to take out the critical parts.
Idk it still feels necessary to say something as they seem afraid they've failed as parents and that their kids want nothing to do with them.
The way he said it so sad made it feel to me like he really does think I am a failure in some way.
Or that they feel I am too distant. And like it was some kind of apology so it feels like I have to respond to it.
I editted down my post took out the stuff about stuff they did wrong, but just kept a brief post letting then know I still love them and that I don't feel like they did anything wrong or that i hold anything against them. That I don't want them to worry about me and some details about what I have been up to.
I'm just worried it will backfire and make them worry more...
>To me it feels like your parents are just neurotic and don't know how to interact with you now that you are an adult.
They are neurotic worriers and yes you are correct they don't know how to interact with us like adults. With my older brother they've gone to ridiculous lengths to shelter and baby him even though he's like 30. And then act like they don't understand how he turned out unable to tie his own shoes as an adult. Cause they do absolutely everything for him so he never had to learn how to anything himself. Even going so far as to halfwrite his college papers. It's honestly embarrassing.
My dad is also incapable of ever letting us pay for anything
>You don't know how your relationship should look like with them, overthink things, read into things too much and so on.
Perceptive, yeah I think i share more traits with them in large part because i was maybe too attached to them growing up. And consequently never really had an adolescence. So they're taking me being separate from them very harshly. They don't seem okay, and their worry is very much infectious as I start to worry that they're worrying about me.
My parents sometimes very much lack common sense and come to odd conclusions about things. Like sometimes i get the impression that rather than drawing from their own life xp they'll get some inane idea in their head from some article they've read and just regurgitate it.
My dad seems to have gotten it in his head for some reason that he was a neglectful abusive parent. Despite him being extremely doting, hyper cautious, and kind of spoiling all of us. It's like this weird game they play of self-mortifying hysterics.

Just tell them this then, that you can feel them worrying and that they shouldn't because they were good parents (and don't mention that they maybe went overboard with caring), but also that you are an adult now, no need to shelter you. It sounds like one of those situation where you have to be straight with them, but selective in what you say and leave out some thoughts about their parenting.

If your dad brings up the idea that he was neglectful just tell him that it's ridiculous and you have no idea how he came to that conclusion. Even if you know where someone got an idea like that, it's helpful to act as if you don't and find the idea stupid (because it really is). I've seen it help people get rid of weird ideas, a sort of reckoning with the fact that the people who in theory was affected by all this, thinks completely differently.

Honestly, it sounds like your relationship with your parents will have these undertones for a while, but it'll go away once they see you getting on with your life. Just don't fuck it up by overthinking it, because that's only gonna make them overthink it even more.

Since yesterday i suddenly became acutely aware of death and the impermanence of life, and it's freaking me the fuck out. Like it just suddenly dawned on me that everything and everybody i know and care about will die, as will i, and i dont know how to deal with it.

more dopamine is followed by less dopamine

combining dopaminergic activities together or chained one after the other creates larger and longer dopamine spikes which leads to deeper and longer lasting drops in dopamine

I'm tired of people in ways you cannot even imagine. I see the point in having friends and I can maintain a facade for a long time but by the end of the week I just want to quit everything. I've been alone and friends with a lot of people many times so I know I'd feel nothing but contentment from having more time for myself if they all left. And maybe mildly annoyed because having friends can be convenient sometimes.

If having many friends and building villages together is the whole gig of humans then I why am I like this? I hate having to force myself for everything.

I wish that my grandparents would quit being so secretive about the amount of money that they have in the bank to pass onto us when they die so that I could accurately plan my life path according to it. Several years back they sold a large amount of land and shares that they had in a biotech company that my great uncle had founded and won’t tell anyone how much they made off of it. Their reasoning for this was that it should stop the depraved will vulturing that happens when in these kinds of scenarios with the family trying to earn those last few brownie points before they kick the bucket which appears to be quite soon. Already they have built 15 or so $500,000 dollar houses on the land they’ve sold and said biotech company sold for BILLIONS when it sold. No one in my family is particularly stupid so all the usual vulturing has been going on with my uncle’s wife being foremost in this endeavor trying to make sure she gets her name written down with a dollar sign next to it. I have refused to play this retarded game and still visit them when work allows it here and there but it would be really nice to have a rough figure for the amount that will pass to my side of the family as I’ve hit a crucial fork in the road where it’s time for me to get serious about either my professional life or artistic/philosophical endeavors. It’s not greed which I feel but rather nervousness at choosing the wrong one and wasting several years of my life in either direction only for my professional life to be invalidated by a hefty windfall or my philosophical journey to be stopped by the lack of said windfall. My parents seem to be trying to push me in the direction of returning to college to study something that I genuinely enjoy signifying that they expect to be taken care of but it would just be nice to have some certainty. I wouldn’t be mad if we didn’t get a whole lot of money from the inheritance, I would be mad if my parents were trying to push me away from a high-earning profession only for said inheritance to be lacking leaving me a pauper for the rest of my life when I could have just as easily taken a higher earning career at the outset. My family has been desperately poor for as long as there have been records of it so I understand all the secrecy but it really is quite inconvenient for where I’m at in my life. I suppose i could always go back on the high earning career given that a hefty inheritance makes it worthless but then I would be wasting about 5-10 years of prime philosophical growth and ruining any chance I have of actually contributing to the academic world. Even if I got the money I would live the same way I live now as a miser but it would enable me to be able to pursue my passions and grind through graduate school and the intervening non-tenure track professorships before becoming a respected academic. Just wish I knew really. Luv me nan, ate me overthinkin nd passions. Simple as.

You are an absolute nigger. Just assume you won't get shit and plan your life as best as you can from that standpoint. Even if you benefit from a windfall it won't matter in the long-run because just from that message I can infer you have a nigger mentality and will waste all of that supposed money.

If I were an alcoholic, I would not trust them. Their regional headquarters is co-located in a shopping center with a weird restaurant staffed by meth heads and literal retards - with an almost exclusively alcoholic clientele, a church that has people going in and out all hours of the night [including cops], a ''teen center'' financed by a gender bending weirdo, and just general weirdos constantly pulling in to the parking lot for hours at a time before leaving without ever getting out of their car.

What America tried to do was somewhat tragic actually. It inherited the world and forced European powers to unwind their empires. It could've spun up into a naval empire that would've made the British Empire look like a pittance. Instead, it set up a world order, where security was guaranteed if you played by the rules, where commerce and free trade was encouraged for the good of all, where technology, which was seen as only good at the time, would be accelerated and delivered all over the world. But it couldn't contain the bad actors.

I also compared myself to her ex all the time and thought nothing would be new to her since she already did it before. Silly stuff. I stoped reading incel forums and then realized how stupid I was. Thanks God I could get her back and things are working fine now, better than before for sure. I also tried to off myself because my genetics are bad and I'll forever be a beta etc. Call me whatever you want, but love is great when you're not afraid to get hurt/being made fun of.

that seems profound, like in a hermetic way. I'll keep thinking about it. Also I'll try CBT for real this time. it's easy to dismiss any kind of help so you can consider yourself "above" fixing.

Incel mindset is more specifically referring to the many mental defects I have where I don't feel it's worth the trouble to live a normie life. Statistically there are people out there who are destined to not fit with society, if you think of it as a bell curve of desirable traits.

I don't read incel forums but I share their mindset where if things fail it's because I'm not good enough. Maybe i really am not good enough just like an incel might be legitimately too ugly for the population . Or maybe it's just a self fulfilling prophecy in trying to fail myself

A similar thing happened in my family with my grandma's will: my aunt accused my Dad of underhandedly trying to rewrite the will to favor him (& honestly maybe he was idk), and made a big stink.

I finally understand that there is no such thing as a second chance in life. If you succeed at an attempt after failing previously, it is only nominally the same, not really a “second” chance. Entire worlds of experience and downstream interactions are gone that you would have had if you had succeeded at the first presentation of the opportunity. You are older and things are different. Then in other scenarios there’s never an alternate time to grasp the opportunity or achieve the objective.
I guess I’m just now reaping the consequences of never caring about temporally-constrained meetings and events, always just going my own pace and doing things whenever I feel like it. You end up missing a lot of life this way. There is an entire industry dedicated to getting people to being in the same place at the same time and I thought that somehow things would just come to me unbidden.

Lately I've been feeling like one of those desk toys that fill up with water then dump it out ceaselessly. It's with feeling lonely, and my attempts at making the toy stay filled halfway are useless. I'm okay with being by myself, but I want to feel loved, and when I am feeling loved it somehow isn't the way I want, or I don't want to give it back. Seeing the girl's story who I've been seeing filled with her friends made me very envious. I wished I could be with a couple close people on a Saturday enjoying eachother. Even if I weren't working I'd just be alone in my apartment. Distracting myself with music or knowledge and writing. Followed by drinking at a party or bar by myself, only to be told I look like a school shooter, or that I in fact, do look like a philosophy major. I'm grateful for my one friend though, but I want to be successful in society.

ive gone and written myself into a plothole. the question im faced with is "if the job was so important why entrust it to some low level mercs" and im at a bit of a road block now trying to answer it.

im thinking of saying "because wealthier organized merc companies or government contractors could easily find out whats going on and exploit the situation, and it would be too high profile" whereas a few literally who nobodies wouldn't have resources or know-how to exploit a scientist, and they could be killed after and it would be low profile


but then who the hell would be the bad guys hunting my main characters and wouldn't they be sent in the first place? could i really write it off as "theyre more desperate now?" i dont know about that, seems flimsy

An Observation of National Animals

Life should be flippant and impolite, light and crisp like the dried leaf lying on the ground, waiting to be shattered.. To fullfill this life of innocence unbound by its pure simplicity is the dream of every saint and villain, of every conqueror and hermit. This noble way, which is not wrapped in sentimental brooding nor governed by hedonistic utility, is embodied by the best of the french and their symbol the Cock. The Rooster is of course the proudest amongst all of God’s creatures but with its dangling wattle and comical stupidity its also his silliest. To choose such a creature as your sigil is a sign of great pride and greater joy, it is the noble way to maintain great pride but never to allow such righteous feeling to overwhelm man's most prized faculty, good humor. Noble is the man who recognizes courage and honor go hand in hand with naivete and forgetfulness. It is the sort of sincerity which only innocence can buy that the cock represents and which is impossible for the vast majority of men, myself included.

Proof enough for my theory can be found amongst the “developing” nations, societies who did not naturally form as nation states but upon whom this structure was imposed and as a result are always compensating for their shaky sense of identity would never identify themselves with a creature like the cock, every african national team has leapord stripes eagle feathers and lion manes embossed on their kits, (men who would be best compared to the fleet footed gazelle confidently wearing leopard stripes like tween girl) I am sure that if the apartheid government had not already enshrined the springbok every rand would be emblazoned by a lion eating an ak 47. This syndrome exists not only for the africans but also for supposedly ancient civilizations (which are really just colonial products held together with guns and a fair bit of glue), India a nation home to a multitude of already deified creatures has for its animal the “Magnificent Tiger” what a shame. This is only one metric for which to judge the moral development of a people but it is one that I think has greater weight than many would give it credit, symbols are powerful and nations whose symbols lack nuance or character are not really nations at all but pale imitations,

This is the disaster that good old ben had hoped to prevent when he advocated the magnificent turkey as our peoples symbol, but sadly for our infant nation the masculine fervor of the bald eagle was to compelling. The eagle while obviously majestic is just that, obviously majestic, if you let a toddler pick he probably would have gone with the bald eagle. By the grace of God though, perhaps a product of our development as a people, Franklin has won the spiritual victory with great help from Lincoln and Rockwell’s Freedom from Want (there's two names you should never put together, thankfully Georgie was always firmly on the eagles side). the turkey as the center piece of the thanksgiving feast has found its way not only into the american stomach but the american heart, the turkey fulfilling a far greater role than the Eagle, both as sustenance and symbol, (afterall you are what you eat) represents for an alienated america homecoming and the perpetual circle of life, , while the the Eagle who most americans will never see outside a zoo much less on their dinner table has been relegated to facebook memes, ironic T shirts and the photoshop art of uniornic “Mericuh'' americans.


Let us take a closer look at the turkeys significance as an actual object of consumption. of devouring. for a people to inoculate an animal they butcher and eat as their sacred representative takes a great deal of subconscious self awareness and regard for the cycle of life. An enlightening fact for some christians might be that until the Time of our lords coming the Israelites, although they were led by shepherds and called themselves the lord’s chosen flock identified themselves as a people not with the lamb but the lion. The lion of Judah was eventually superceded by the christian lamb because it was in fact a remnant of a people desperate for strength surrounded by enemies on all sides not suited for a developed people with a cogent identity and self awareness. Once imbued with this firm self awareness after the solidification of Israelites as the predominant people of Palestine it was only natural to take on a new spiritual representative, the jewish people at the birth of Christ were ripe for change. Turkey Lamb and of course Cock were all staple meals of their respective nations. This deification of the staple animal seems to me to be a natural outcome for high cultures. It is for this reason alone that the steppe identification with the horse is a matter of high culture.

I have been in my agrandizing of the french Cock neglectful to the other european symbols who would perhaps go against my rule. The Italian wolf you say? What is more childish than a wolf, the favourite animal of all little boys? Well the addition of large nipples and nursing children makes the italians symbol perhaps the most nuanced of them all. The German eagle? The eagle is suitable for nations of imperial station, ridiculous when worn by albanians its perfectly at home with the germans. The russian Bear? Sorry I thought we were discussing europeans. The English lion? This is a hard one afterall I spent the better part of this essay shitting on the lion, but one must contextualize the english lion, In the british imagination the isles are faery lands. The welsh are dragons the scots unicorn and the english lions, It must be understood that to the average English man the unicorn or even dragon was just as real as the lion. The lion actually fits snugly into this british tradition as another mostly imaginary beast.

I left her when she was at her worst socially speaking and at her most isolated with no real friends and a terrible family because she was a bit unstable and actively trying to start serious problems with people I was close with due to a questionable personal vendetta. Didn't even give her the courtesy of a phone call, just left a letter and haven't said a word to her since. I kept worrying that if I stuck around in some capacity I'd just make matters worse, and retardedly judged that a harsh situation like that might cause her to change her behavior for the better, to not go on an unhinged rampage because you choose to live the life of an antagonistic outcast for no real reason other than a vague sense of anger at the world.
Truth be told, I wasn't doing too well for her sake either. I was on a bad streak of academic and personal failures, with no real bright future in sight, and kept wallowing in sloth and cowardice. She was always cheering me on to do the right thing, looking for any kind of realistic solution, and I wouldn't do it. She was so goddamn nice to me, genuinely so, that I couldn't grasp why she was willfully choosing to be awful with random people. I couldn't grasp her in general, even if I was trying hard, because I was blind. The best thing I can say about myself is I was always putting in the most possible effort in chasing away any malice or aggression with ill-intent, but on the flip side I was too apologetic all the time and too soft to face her straight on and list what felt wrong to me. Whenever we argued my biggest worry was always the possibility of causing some long term psychological harm to her, I saw as this very fragile precious little thing, which meant I was physically unable to be as upfront as I was with anybody else. Walking on eggshells. These aren't excuses, I'm just typing this all out because I've never said this to anyone.
I don't know, man. I don't know how she feels about me, don't know if she hates my guts or still has a tender spot, and I've been terrified of reaching out to be certain. I'm afraid of being a traumatic trigger for her the way I've seen other scarring figures of her past make her act, sending her on a way down. Another possible problem is enabling her vindicative tendencies and pushing her to go on a quest to hurt me back. Or maybe I'm just making up scenarios in my head to feel important as a cope when in reality she's thrown any memories associated with me in the dumpster. All I'm hoping for is bumping into her irl (she lives far away these days) and setting things straight face to face. Until then, my heart still aches like never before, three years later, every night. I've never felt this haunted by memories. And even still, we still might not be good for each other at all.
Thanks for reading.
