'you seem so sure you're able to save me. why?'
'to be honest, i'm not. i'm not sure, not at all. i guess it's just something i always do; pretending to be optimistic while in fact everything is as dark as it could be. i just want to give you some hope. some hope that will keep you from giving up.
but you know, that's how my friends see me as well. i'm always 'that optimistic guy' and it bothers me that people always see a better version of me and not the real me. i'm actually just your average, unhappy guy.'
'oh wow, i'm sorry. i don't know if it helps, but i feel like that all the time too. people just suck, tbh. i wonder if people are really that shallow and just don't see that
i'm not okay or if they just pretend to because they don't want to deal with problems that are not theirs.'
'exactly. :/
you know, it feels really good to talk with someone who understands me. i have never met someone before who does.'
'i know, it really does feel good.'
'wait... did you really write 'guy' earlier? what the hell are you doing in the girl's bathroom, dude?'
'oh, uhm yes, about that..'
