A Ludicrous Proposal

You're welcome. I was just cleaning out unwanted pictures. But since Sean's your friend, I wanted to offer. They were a pain in the ass to send.

So let me cut to the chase, why don't I?
I think when I read what you wrote, I was unsure of your motives: What do you mean by "good terms?" Why do you want that? You didn't seem to want to be "on good terms," judging the way we parted; why would you now? Remember? You assumed the worst of me. You assumed that I'm not good enough for you, but really it's quite the opposite. You didn't even treat me like a friend. Breaking up is not even the issue here; it is the way you treated me. You treated me less than you would a real person; you treated me condescendingly, like a problem, like trash. And let me remind you that I wasn't just any other girlfriend; you supposedly intended on "marrying me." So what happened there?

I can't help but to point out the part that amuses me the most. It is when you said that if I can't be on good terms with you, YOU won't hold it against me, as if YOU'RE the one to make the call. Brian, you've got it completely backwards. Undeniably, you behaved irresponsibly and treated terribly me, the one who was completely loyal to you and loved you with her all. So stop putting yourself on a pedestal and start owning up to your behavior. You don't have to always appear strong or always be in the right. It's OK to say you're sorry and mean it. No one worthy will make fun of you.

I am sorry Speedy passed away, but I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well. For all it's worth, my living situation is good because I am living with my parents by choice, even though I can well afford to live on my own.

I am eating very well, and, many others and I know, I AM great. Instead, I hope that you're working towards being great yourself.

> thank you for the pictures. i hope santa brought what you wanted. i must admit that i missed having a tree this year, but with no one to decorate it, what's the point.
> how is school, how is life, how is living with your parents? barable i hope. when you decide you're ready, if you do that is, i would like to be able to talk and for you to be able to be on good terms with me. if this isn't possible i understand, and i won't hold it against you.
> speedy died two days ago. the whole 55 gal tank got a parasite commonly known as ich(ick). i was very sad, as i'm sure you will be. i'm treating the rest of the tank, but have lost two other fish. arthur, delano, and kyle are all well. phillip and sara broke up a while ago and i never see either of them anymore.
> i hope you're eating better than when you lived downtown and i hope you're working towards being great.
