the midnight in me (text)

Hey guys,

Maybe this is a bit of a weird question, but...if you're trying to improve yourself, how do you track your progress?

I thought I was past worrying about this stuff, but a few weeks ago something infected me. And it brought me right back to my horrible school bully days---I was pretty scary. And I know this is late, but I'm truly sorry for those of you I hurt. If there's ever anything I can do to help, please tell me.

You might say I was possessed and not at fault, but...where I'm from, magic like that doesn't really comes from nowhere. It always latches onto existing feelings of resentment and cruelty and makes them grow. So I'm worried that that darkness is still inside me, waiting to come out. And I'm just...trying to figure out how to live with that.

Thanks.

Yeah, it does. I hope everyone was kind to you afterward. Genies have a way of twisting things around.

They were super awesome about it! They came to my room and hugged me I cried lots and we made up.

Did your friends do that for you too?

[burningbrighter]

Ah! Glad to hear it.

And...not really, but everyone's been pretty busy lately. I'm sure we can do something like that when they have time, though!

[woo_oo]

I have time! I can come over whenever and gives you lots of ice cream while crying!

[burningbrighter]

Heh. I think I've stopped crying, but that sure sounds good anyway. I really appreciate you, Webby.

[woo_oo]

I appreciate you too! Forever and always!
