Marguerite Duras, The Lover

I cannot remember the last time I had plans with friends that involved picking me up and I didn't get a text shortly before the appointed time that was like "hey sorry I slept in/felt bad not helping my parents with something/another Fully Preventable Thing and I'm going to be [anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour late]!"

and I know I shouldn't complain because picking me up is very kind of them

but like. it's getting really old and it stresses me out to no end. I don't understand how I'm almost always capable of being where I need to be at the appointed time and it feels like nobody else is.

brought to you by: I have been sitting here ready for an hour and twenty minutes now and my friends are STILL not here yet. and we're going to something where parking fills up EARLY and I'm so stressed that I'm on the verge of tears, about us maybe not getting parking

I hate plans changing. I hate upheaval. and I get it if it's impossible to avoid, like a breakdown of a car or something, but- you didn't have to stop and help your parents paint a fence if you had somewhere to be! you didn't have to stay up late! none of this is ever unavoidable!

you know what I’m sick of? how incredibly intolerant the world is of people who aren’t exactly precisely on time, every time. it always hurts so much to be a disappointment to someone, especially when I’m already trying my absolute best and they tell me it’s still not good enough. I don’t know how it’s supposed to be possible for me to do better than that, and yet that’s what everyone says I have to do. oh, "just try harder." "that’s how things are, you’d better figure it out and get used to it or getting through life is going to be so much harder for you." "the only way for you to succeed here is to conform to how everyone else does things."

well, the way things are is fucking stupid!!

I am a being designed for a day that changes in length by hours throughout the year, not a computer that can complete tasks on a cycle accurate down to the millisecond, and I cannot be made into one no matter how much I am punished

we're sorry we are one day late to IAD, 2023

can you *ever* forgive us?

yes, for I art rich with the milk of human love and kindness

what's in it for me

I can, but it will take time

of course. the way I see it, it's an extra 24 hours to celebrate!

never darken my door again

the only time I forgive is when people give lots of presents for me

yes, but on one condition, of my choosing

I'm just not sure, today blog. you hurt me, and I bruise like a banana

The third one follows the second one excepting that color gradation -- usually seeming to be done for the sake of it -- and this lighter orange. They are maybe a little unsure just how to deal the special effects for the last panel.
