I counted up the people I actually genuinely really like a lot on this site. It comes to about 8. Most of you know or have some idea I like you, but a couple of you probably have no idea.

So these short posts are specifically for the two of you who probably think I hold you in low regard, or dislike you:

1. It seems we're doomed to always be distant, or at odds despite the fact we've both tried to get close to one another in the past. On more than one occasion. Any chance at having a real connection may be dead for various reasons, but what I've learned from your approach to certain things is very much alive in my personality. I thoroughly enjoy how you think, even though we oft disagree, and have a lot of respect for you as a person. If only the gods had pushed us together instead of pulled us apart.. ah well. You'll be great.

2. You always upset me a lot, and I'll tell myself I want nothing to do with you, but that will always just be a lie I tell myself.

uhhh this is new to me since my default setting is roast but here goes!

you're not only ridiculously funny but also quite sweet when you want to be! I haven't actually known you for that long but you're already one of my fave people on this site. you're also one of those people who's like wack good at legit Mafia but isn't an @$$hole in game so applause to that (looks dirtily at Pranay, continues). stay golden ^w^

you will never know it but i am both largely guilty and grateful for everything you have done to me. though it may not be often, when we do get the chance to speak you manage to lift my spirits higher than anyone else manages to. i am afraid of telling you this because i am afraid of coming off on the wrong way, so i suppose i shall give you the thanks that you deserve here. i have no idea how you do it, but you do manage to make me feel happy and at times, i find that i somehow manage to believe in the praise and compliments you speak of me. thank you so much, may you be blessed.

honestly one of the nicest people ive ever had to pleasure to meet, and also i have a bit of a crush on u? like a half crush. like i COULD have a crush but not totally there yet. just sayin. stay cute

i was a dirty dirty memer in the other thread, so i'll be serious in this one (at least for this post). there is someone here who changed my life - who walked into it when i was in a dark place and is still helping me claw my way out every day. they are wonderfully sweet, incredibly caring, and infinitely accepting and understanding. they never ask anything in return except sweet kisses and snuggles, even though they have obstacles they are dealing with in life that would cripple most normal people. they showed me a different way of seeing the world; most people cut through fields to take advantage of shortcuts, they do it to play with the butterflies. where i saw a confusing maze of buildings and classrooms, they took me on hour-long adventures that didn't have destinations until we decided we'd found them. they taught me that you never truly know what a person is going through, even if you think you do, so it's never okay to be indiscriminately mean to people because you don't know how it will affect them. and most importantly, that sometimes the most outwardly pleasant and sweet people are the most tortured inside, but no one is beyond saving. thank you, i love you.
