There ain't anythin' you specifically as J are worryin' 'bout?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

Oh... um...

[ she falters a little ]

Well... what if caring for somebody is holding them back, but you're also too selfish to let them go?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

Hmm... ya startin' with a tough one, huh?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

...yeah.


Sorry. I've just been thinking about it a lot.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

Ya ain't gotta be sorry. I asked an' all.

Do ya gotta stop carin' fer 'em, if ya let 'em go?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

I dunno. I haven't tried.

And it feels backwards working so hard just to be with them and then them walking away.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

Ain't that more a feelin' like ya don't want yer efforts ta go ta waste?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

Maybe.

Prolly.

I thought we were happy, though.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

Sounds like ya need ta communicate open an' honestly.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

What if they don't know if they're happy or not?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

They gotta work that out fer themselves. Ya can support 'em, but ya can't make that decision fer 'em.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

I know.

[ but she clearly doesn't like it ]

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

[ Reaching up to squish her cheek. ]

World's rough, ain't it.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

[ cheek squished! ]

I don't like it.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

Sorry ta say darlin' but a lot o' things in life are gonna go a way ya don't like. Yer place in it's ta decide what you wanna do 'bout it.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

What do I even do?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

Yer gonna haveta do a lot o' thinkin'. 'Bout what you want, an' what yer willin' ta do. An' what's most important to ya.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

What's most important is that they're happy.

But I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't part of it.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

... Reckon this part where I ain't the best ta advise ya on it, 'cause I've made a decision like that once.

Yer heart's most important ta ya, jus'... know you ain't gonna be alone after, whatever happens.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

How do you know that?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

I'll be there as yer friend, won't I?

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

Hehe... that's true.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

I won't lie. Losin' everything important to ya hurts a lot. It takes a lot to work through it. Hell, ya might still be working through it years later.

But good things could happen too. You could have solid support from where ya didn't expect it, or make new friends who'll become yer new everythin'.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[preciousjem]

Everything's really hard to replace.

Re: Day 248, Afternoon/Evening

[holesomelanguage]

Don't... think o' it as replacin'. Or yer gonna get yerself hung up on yer past, comparin' every lil thing. Yer lettin' go o' the old, an' findin' new, that's all.
