TEXT: They do wides here? Shit. Okay, good to know. Thanks for the heads up. Oh, without a doubt. I'll make sure I do whatever it takes. Plus you're around, I just don't know how much you can do since you're graduated. So I'm beginning to notice. Well...On the bright side, I think that's just 'college' in general for most people. But, you made it. You're on the other side. You're in your happy now.
TEXT: You're not wrong, I hadn't thought about it like that. It's the truth though, and explains quite a bit. That's a positive at the very least. I...Yes, I do. I mean like I said, it's early AF, I'm in no rush but....If someone twisted my arm and said they needed to know who I've got my eye on at this stage, it would be Kyla. Well, her and Wren Hummel.
TEXT: I'm so glad you did. Oh yeah, duh, I didn't even think about that. At least that's one less I'll have to worry about but...Yeahhhhh...For the forseeable future you and I should just...Stick to same sex and same gender encounters. Just to be safe, like you said. No offense to you or anything but....No. Just no.
TEXT: Ahhhh okay, good to know the realm we're in at the very least. I get you. I'm here. I know what you mean, Sam. It's...Something I sadly have a feeling all of us will carry with us until the day we die. We've seen and been through too much. But, you can't let yourself live in that fear. And...I mean, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter who you are. Anyone could lose anything at any time. Fuck, the Claringtons could wake up tomorrow and have nothing. It's possible. That's why you can't live in the world of what-ifs. I know that's tough as hell. It took me a shitton of hard wor and hundreds of billable therapy hours to get there myself. But it's the truth. That's why two things are important- one, realizing that nothing is guaranteed, so while you can prepare all you want, nothing will ever be solid. All you can do is make the best choices you can in the moment. The second important thing is making sure you're picking people to be in your life who would still be there if that were to happen.
TEXT: Don't let your fear rule you, Sammy. You've done so fucking well for yourself. I'm proud of you. More than I can say. And I believe in you enough to know you wouldn't let that happen. Not to you, not to Owen, not to Violet, and not to whomever else you choose to bring in. Don't let your intangible fear screw you out of tangible happiness. If it makes you feel better, make a budget plan to replace what you spend as immediately as possible. Seeing how quickly you'll be able to get back to steady should help. And, by the way...I hope you know, if it came down to it, I'd do everything in my power to make sure you'll never be in that situation. You, Sky, and any of the rest of our family- which now includes Hunter, and Owen, and Violet.
TEXT: Want me to do some magick for you?
