Holy crap, some of those hit me too hard. I had to stop reading.
i have long been obsessed with the meta-idea here. for instance, there was a last time that i picked up my daughter (before she became too big.) iāll never remember when it was, and at the time i of course did not know it was the last time. so many events that in the light of time become significant, but those moments (and even the memories) are just gone.
Some are rough, but these tend to be offset by teen drama.
Likeā¦
āSorry for leaving you in the dark, Iāve been pretty busy with
work and havenāt had much time to think. Maybe, see you Thursday.ā
Our last conversation I cried and knew that our problems werenāt
fixable. He left for holiday the next day. He wanted āsome time to
thinkā. I texted him about whether heād thought things over after not
hearing from him for 5 days. We did meet on Thursday and he ended
things.
He told me he was in love with my best friend 3 weeks later. They
became official 1 week later. They are now together and I havenāt spoken
to her in over a month.
Bee, aged 17.
Oh, Bee, darlinā, youāre in for a wild ride.
Like a gut-punch.
I just got back from Mexico, hence the Coronasā¦
If youād pour out that beer, would it count as corona discharge?
No, thatās what happens when you hit the pee stationā¦
Brutal.
āNo offense lolā.
Wow.
I lost a very close friend and confidant today. He is still alive, but today I realized the booze is his friend, and my dignity is optional to him.
I needed to read these, because I think I sent one not long ago. Mine wasnāt me being an asshole.
Youāre going to keep thinking about that one for a while, too.
Iām sorry. Losing a friend is terrible.
That could be a very complex dance rather than just a brutal asshole being brutal.
āHereās some reason to feel like you dodged a bulletā maybe.
Although, it really does appear as if blue dodged an ICBM there.
It looks to me like blue was directly hit by the ICBM.
It seems from my perspective (my demographic details are publicly available here) that it was a racial issue.
I mean, it seems obvious from the history and culture Iāve perceived about various places in my country. But then Iām assuming these people are in my country. And Iām assuming that the texters fit within my concept of those areas. Which I suppose is assuming a lot, if Iāve not seen representative samples.
Could be, could be. But would blue rather find out about this personās real attitude now, or perhaps have impressed grey enough to give them an āinā to greyās world and reaped the whirlwind of crazy once the relationship had become deeper and more difficult to extract from withoutā¦ radioactive fallout?
I have the feeling that someone would call that an Uncle Tom kind of situation. But I canāt speak for that demographic in my personal narrative.
Also, Iām pussyfooting around real names and thatās probably making me enemies too.
Only once the behaviour/attitude is revealed and only after blue had decided to roll with itā¦ Iām certainly not suggesting entertaining racists assholes proclivities.
ETA:
Wait wait wait, you know these people!?!? I assumed it was from the tumblr (which I did not browse).
Been there, done that, having t-shirts printed.
āI ditched some toxic narcissists and all I got was this lousy PTSD shirtā
