A Lesson To Be Learned.

I go, for the lack of a better phrase, away from my MO for this post.

Someone I talk to occasionally on a forum lost his girlfriend in a drunk-driver accident recently. He made this post in the sound-off thread. There's a lesson for everyone to learn in it.

"Athina, I'm sorry. I can't believe the last memory you ever had of me was that one. I love you so much, and you mean so much to me, I'm disgusted with myself. I wish we could have held each other for one last time, that I could show you how much I love you, how much you meant to me. I wish I was there with you, that it could have happened to us together. I can't move on, I can't live my life without you. I think you know that though, and the same would be true if our roles were reversed. Remember that promise we made to each other when we were little, that we would always be there for each other? I feel like I broke that promise by what I did. If I hadn't have been a selfish ass, like I always am in comparison to you, we would have been together. After all you did for me, all the love you showed me, I left you alone in your last moment. You died alone because of that selfish fit I had at the house. We could have died together in each others arms, knowing how much we loved each other. Instead, your last moment alive was one of pain, and it's all my fault. Athina, I'm sorry. I'll always hate myself for this, and rightly so. I pray that you remembered how much I loved you instead of that last moment Athina, because I loved you more than anyone could comprehend. Athina, I promise you this. I will devote my life to helping people in the same way you helped me and everyone around you. I just pray that I can do you justice, and that you will be proud of me."

There's nothing else I can really say.

Of Sorrow and Confusion.

Ah, the sorrow. The sorrow, pain, confusion, and fear. The things my puppets go through. Humans certainly are interesting.
He tells me he's not depressed, that he'll be fine. But, I can see the pain in his eyes. The suit he wears seems to fool everyone around him, but he can't fool me. He is mine, it's my business to know what he's feeling.
You humans, with your pitiful emotions. You are the only beings I know that have such conflicting feelings. Love, a concept that brings both happiness and sadness. Healing and hurt. 'Ups and downs,' as you would say.
Only humans have such mixed feelings. For example, this particular human is, right now, sad, confused, in pain, angry, and scared. It's truly amazing.
And it provides good entertainment.
Oh, he wants me to say that this isn't real, and not to read too much into to, especially certain people. Fool, saying 'certain people' won't work. Everyone is going to know who he's talking about.
There, I said it. He is under my protection. I have to give something in return for his pitiful life.
Believe what you will.
I enjoy watching your pain.
This should be interesting.
