Dead Serious

Epilogue - The Confession Part 2

In hindsight, the title of this little chapter is a lie. There's really more than one confession for me to make here.

First of all I feel it's appropriate to mention that all those times that my amazing moments with Naomi were "important to the story" was kind of untrue. I mean, obviously with the whole kidnapping and everything, she was an integral part of things. Mostly though, I was just bragging. A cute girl who also happened to be awesomely awesome was interested in me for the first time ever. I'm not even slightly sorry for not letting that go!

Second confession:

I don't think I even really needed to write any of that down. I know I had good intentions with using it as a statement for the police and everything but there are three things that need to be addressed. Firstly I didn't even need it in the end. What an anticlimax. Secondly, if they ever find this then we are all royally screwed. And lastly, these past few months I've had a completely different outlook on everything. I confess (there I go again) that I got lucky on this front. Working with Tom, Aaron and even Steve has really helped me discover that I don't have anything to be anxious about. I always worried that I was too weird but now I know I'm one of the most normal people out there!

Sure I have problems with socialising. But everyone has problems. Steve has strange things to worry about at work, and he has potentially evil children. Aaron has the stresses of adult life when I don't know if he feels ready for it. He has a fiancé who's clearly a handful but she is what he wants so he's grown a pair and is doing what he can to make himself happy. Good on him! Tom has the most problems of us all, and not just psychologically. The revelation about his parents really threw me, but that just goes to show what a strong guy person he is. He doesn't let that define him. He's his own person and doesn't care what anyone thinks about him. Maybe that's just as well?

The point is, I'm quiet, shy and nervous as hell. But if you meet the right people in life, you can really be yourself and they will love you for it. I was concerned about making friends at Uni but that hasn't been an issue at all, plus Naomi is by my side and her friends are pretty cool too.

I'm still working at Eternal Wings even though the school semester has started. I help them out with funerals on the weekends and sometimes even go there to study. The dead people don't disturb you.

Wow that was a long one. Ok, third confession! I finally caved and played Casket Shuffle. It's actually fun.

Yes, I know, I'm going to hell.

Finally, last but certainly not least. I have to confess that working at Eternal Wings Funeral Home was the best job I've ever had.
