[FM] 32 - Return to Sender.. Addressee Unknown... and now the pelvis roll!
Me,
Hey how's it going? Good? Great. I'm glad, really I am. I mean you're successful, you just started dating an amazing girl, and things are actually looking pretty good. There's a problem though. I'll be honest okay? Here's the deal, there are a lot of things that I'm not really happy about in your life.
Sure you just bought a new car, and your penthouse apartment is furnished with things that make Ty Pennington jealous, but how happy are you. I mean really happy? When was the last time that you can recall being happy about something in your life?
It's been a while right? I think I know the problem too. It's called guilt. You are full of it. Guilt for Anya, guilt for the Hellmouth, guilt for the dreams about Buffy's mom, the spell that made half the female population nuts for you. Guilt for making out with a mummy, for crushing on a praying mantis. Guilt guilt guilt.
It's a common theme you know, and I haven't been able to sort out just how to tell you about it. In fact writing this letter to yourself? Even you can't believe that it's come to this. Why can't you just be honest with yourself? Do you really think that you deserve all of this?
Yeah I know you do. It's okay too, because it'll get better. Oh come on, you're the one writing this, and to be honest this whole talking to yourself thing was funny when Norm MacDonald was on SNL with his 'note to self' remarks, this is just a bit ridiculous.
Just snap out of it! You are not your car, you are not your khakis, you are not your six figure salary, and you are not in Fight Club.
All that guilt you have? It's because you think you turned your back on it all. Meeting Alex, hearing about what she's doing now? Maybe you miss it, maybe you think you'd enjoy life more if you were hunting down the occasional demon or vampire. That maybe you would feel more accomplished if you patroled... patroled LA? Are you serious? Give me a break you'll get shot before you make it across Crenshaw.
So just suck it up, and get over yourself. You were the heart. Now you're just a guy. A guy with a hell of a lot of great stories, and some good friends. Don't fuck it up just because you're bored at night. Read a book, do a Quiz, watch a porn. movie.
Just stop worrying that you gave up, because it was never yours to give.
Thanks,
You.
