I'm waaaay too here/now
Dear Joe,
The devil just went to the pisser, and he's got prostate problems from elevated stress, so he'll be there for a while. I do have to hurry before he gets back. We're kinda in this never-ending-battle-for-control-over-your-soul kinda thing, I'm sure you understand.
I was there when your trust problems started. I remember how you used to council your friends, and how they all wanted someone to treat them decently. You felt like it was your job to treat everyone with complete trust and make them feel truly happy because you've seen so many of them get dicked over by bad people. Just because there's bad people in the world doesn't mean you have to be the anti-badguy. It's not one man's job, and it certainly isn't your job. None of their problems are your fault. Let it go.
If you're trying to be so good to people all the time, why do you constantly beat on yourself for being a bad person? Not just a bad person, but an ugly person and a stupid person and an untalented person. You can find something good about almost anyone, so why not turn that on yourself and actually believe that you've got something to offer? You're more than just funny, you're insightful and helpful and friendly and strong willed and dedicated! I can prove all of it, but I don't have a lot of time, I think the devil is almost done pissing. I'm gonna sucker punch him with an anvil, Animaniacs style when he comes out.
Think about what I said. Actually, don't think about it. It's worse when you think about stuff. Just believe me, and your friends, too.
