How do you make somebody happy when they're convinced that they don't deserve it, probably because there are some people out there who want them to believe that?

Well... I don't think you can change how a person feels. I mean, if they think a certain way, even if you don't agree with it, that's still how they feel, you know? That doesn't mean you can't be their friend and do things for them. But, I don't think you should really try to change them.

[aquaticrush]

I just want them to be happy.

[plainflush]

I'm sure you're a good friend, anon. Since you're worrying about this, I think just having you around might be enough.

[aquaticrush]

No, I'm not enough.

[plainflush]

Um, are... you the person you're talking about?

[aquaticrush]

No, I'm not. I just know I'm not enough to make them happy.

[plainflush]

Right, you can't be there all the time. But if you make them happy sometimes, isn't that better than none of the time?

[aquaticrush]

You really think the best of people, don't you?

[plainflush]

I guess so.

[aquaticrush]

That's kind of you.

[plainflush]

Oh, um, thank you.

way to double-send, tag

[aquaticrush]

I try to be like that, but there are some people I dislike...

no prob!

[plainflush]

Well, you can't get along with everyone. I mean, there are some people that I get frustrated with sometimes. But, it's not like I hate them or want anything bad to happen to them or anything.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose you're right.

[plainflush]

You don't have to agree with me if you disagree with me, anon. I think it's better to be honest, anyway.

[aquaticrush]

It isn't that I disagree, really.

[plainflush]

But you think differently?

[aquaticrush]

I'm just afraid.

[plainflush]

Afraid?

[aquaticrush]

A few people here really scare me. They've hurt me or others.

[plainflush]

That-that's bad. Um, I guess, avoid them as much as you can?

[aquaticrush]

I know...

[plainflush]

I know it isn't much to say "be careful", but, I don't want you to get hurt, anon...

[aquaticrush]

I don't want to, either.

[plainflush]

I'm sure you don't. Take care of yourself.
