I had my mouth full of Mountain Dew when I clicked that, you asshole! Now it's all over my monitor!
Bob: I already gave you my opinion, but I'll reiterate it here. Pain doesn't last forever, and the only real thing you can do is wait and not give up on yourself. Don't drink yourself stupid over this, don't start smoking crack and don't give up on who you are, because
you are not where the complication lies. This is not about Jinx breaking up with you, it's about Jinx figuring out her own issues. I know that's not much of a consolation, but it's something, right? Don't try and re-arrange what you are at your core because you think you are flawed and that your flaws are the cause of this.
Jinx: Everybody needs to do this at
some point, right? At a certain point, you have to break things down in order to continue building. The same applies to a person's life. In order to progress, you've got to demolish some things to continue moving forward. That's what this point in your life is meant for, and this is just a symptom of that. You're not in the wrong for doing so, because it's something you needed to do for yourself. There's nothing selfish in that, because if you constantly focus on what
other people need, you tend to tangle your own shit up in the process. I know from
far too much experience in that regard. You do what you need to do for yourself first,
then you worry about other people's needs. It's like the lifeguard procedures for when someone is drowning under a bridge. If the tide tries to smash you into a pillar, you use the victim's body as a shield, because if
you get fucked up, you're both shit out of luck.
That's about all I've got to say in regard to this matter. Bob, don't tear yourself up over this. It's gotta hurt like hell, but the pain won't continue indefinitely. Jinx, don't tear yourself up over this. You need to do it, because if you don't, and you two get smashed into a pillar, you're both going to get hurt a lot worse than you are now.
Now I'm going to clean this fucking monitor, you son of a bitch, Grav!
