I Know You'll Read This, My Friend

[spangletigress]

You were there for me during the single most hopeless moment of my life, my attack of insecurity so extreme that I became physically ill and could not be comforted. And while I sobbed nonstop and my mind was filled with the wasteful, unworthy nothingness that was my self, you kept me talking, kept me online, kept me acting on my sensory information (making me grab a blanket when I realized I was shaking with cold as well as anxiety), kept me from harming myself in the multitude of ways I could have. And you stayed with me until late in the morning, until I was finally exhausted, had ceased crying, and craved darkness, and never once complained about being tired or needing sleep or gave any hints of wanting or needing to leave.

Wonder never therefore why I care so much for your well-being. Jeopardize your well-being never therefore; I would never forgive myself if I were to fail you in the way you never failed me.

Please take care of yourself as well as I would take care of you. Please take care of yourself as well as you took care of me.
