retrospec | (no subject)

It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually.

Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't?

I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help.

But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know?

I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

Please take care.

That doesn't sound very encouraging...the food part I mean...cause it doesn't SOUND bad...sooo why would that be understandable if I hated it?

Don't businesses kill for free advertising?

So, it is possible then...that even I...could be noble...I rather like that...doing it though...gosh, thats probably going to be hard...

but thank you sir, this has been helpful

Because it is quite spicy.

Most may? I just never want my business to do well.

I attempt to be helpful every so often. But let's not oversell what I'm doing.

0_o they are that spicy!?

0-0 ummm, there is a story behind that?

? not oversell? I dont get it...you could have pushed me away the second you saw this was getting personal...but you tried to help a little punk deal with emotional issues...

when my own freaking brother is acting like an asshole now...

They are. :)

Not really. I'm just very bad at finances and the more successful my business is, the more likely it will collapse like a flan in the cupboard.

I'm just a meddling person. And it is like I say to everyone who wishes to praise me; you're the one who happened to see something worthwhile in what I'm prattling on about, and you're wanting to make your life better for it. These are your choices and your wishes, so praise yourself first before me.

Oh gosh...ummm, HOW spicy? and is there a way to...idk, make it less spicy?

Ummm flan in a cupboard?

and you chose to meddle in a way that was kinda helpful, so thank you...really...

Understandably...I haven't talked about this with a lot of people...

well until recently obviously...

I think i need to rethink that though...

I can give you a lighter version of it. I can't promise it won't still be considered "spicy," however.

Yes. Flan is a dish made with condensed and evaporated milk. Keeping it in a cupboard will eventually cause the thing to slowly collapse in on itself until it is nothing but a flat circle on a dish.

Well, if you feel like thanking me, I suppose I will take it.
This network is public so people may have seen your responses.
Those that you want to see them, those that you do not.
Still, you started to talk about it openly and so something good will come of it.
But only if you work toward that "good."

Ah okay then, I guess we will find out if/when i start to breath fire lol

AH, okay...now that makes sense

0_0 I totally forgot this was all public....

Welp, I suppose this is one way of making up more then 2 years of silence...

I guess we will, haha.

It is one way to make up for two years of silence, yes.
And anyway, it seems like something that you really wanted to say.
So, there's no harm in it.
