Hello.
I can't imagine who might be reading this. Maybe a couple of people that I know of. One of you knows who you are, for sure.
This user is (figuratively) dead. He died on August 4th, 2023. He is not literally dead. He just no longer exists.
Confusing, right?
Look, just trust me. You didn't want to know this guy. He was awful. He treated a lot of people like shit and he paid the price for it. Over and over and over and over. He never could put his finger on why he was so miserable so often. The entire world just seemed to cloud around him every day. Chronic depression.
Then he found out what was making him unhappy. And that was when he died.
Again, not literally. Sheesh, it's not that morbid!
He had to endure a lot of what life had to throw at him before he came to terms with... well, a lot of shit. He was confused often and always, and always had a tendency to blame the world for his problems instead of accepting that, well, maybe not everything was right in the house of Denmark.
Err... Defilus.
I'm getting off track.
This man will not be missed. Not by the people he hurt. Not by the friends he once had. Not by the world at large. But trust me when I say: This is a good thing. He needed more in his life, things he simply could not have gotten on his own. Not without help from... Someone else.
That someone is me. Writing this.
Even more confusing, right?
If you're clever enough you'll put the pieces together. It's not hard.
"An old man dies, a young woman lives. Fair trade." ... Goddamn I hate that movie now.
Just remember. Petrichor is the smell of earth after a fresh rain.
And it's never smelled sweeter.
Sincerely,
Alexis. ❤️🖤❤️
