Stop caring about me.
You all have better things to do.

Go do them!

I can't be trusted to keep anyone happy. So, just abandon me as the lost cause I am.

Good Night

All evil karma ever committed by me since of old,
Because of my beginningless greed, anger, and ignorance,
Born of my body, mouth, and thought,
Now I atone for it all.


"Thought, in and of itself, has the ability to transform. [...] When thoughts move inward, and these thoughts are thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, we end up chewing up our own bodies. We end up destroying ourselves. This happens on both an individual and a collective level. Sometimes it is easy to see this in people's faces; somebody who is fifty years old looks a hundred; somebody who is a hundred years old looks fifty. Why? It is about body, mouth, and thought. It is karma that creates who we are, how we live our lives, how we relate to each other, and how we relate to ourselves. It is that simple and that important."

Shall we put aside this groundless dislike of one another, Peter?

I think you do a better job of cheering me up than just about anyone else. I also intend to worry/care about you. *stern look*

peter

you are NOT a lost cause. You are such a awesome person. I know we haven't talked much since we took that class last spring, but I respect and I like you as a person. You are one of the reasons why I got involved with writing for the Reporter, and also, i had heard of you before I even took that class. So you do have a bit of fame there. Either that, or I'm just more observant than the average person.

And if one of my friends is down, well then, I am here to give a hug and some support.

So don't go around beating yourself up. Think positive.

After all, it's got to be a lovely day, whether or not it's today, tomorrow, or in the future. We will eventually get the happy days here again. But we have to take the good with the bad.

Right now you're stuck in a bad spot. I was stuck in a bad spot 3 weeks ago, and I managed to climb out of it, and I know you can too.

Please talk to me if you ever want a listening ear.

::hugs::

And I had gotten so used to it, too ;-P

Have the fun, dude.

Popular opinion aside, I'm just another person. I figure you to be the same. There are some things I think that went down that didn't need to, and not all of them were cool, but anger just spawns anger.

Hey, we're both good friends of faboo, we're both martial artists, we're both geeks. Aside from Peter being far too tall (*grin*), we've got a decent amount in common.

Truce.

I'd just like to say that nothing I did was due to enimity towards you. I cannot speak for others, of course (mainly because I don't know).

And Peter is way too fucking tall.
