thank you

by

i couldn’t sleep last night. it was bedtime, i was tired, but i couldn’t get to sleep. i tossed and turned for a while, then rolled over onto my stomach and propped myself up on my elbows and stared at my glow-in-the-dark stars as they faded. i kept obsessing about what i’m going to say and how i’m going to act.
instead of torturing myself, i gave in to impulse and phoned tyler. he was busy doing work-related stuff, but he put it away and got into bed and talked me to sleep. i started to cry when i realized what he was doing. i really needed someone to put me first and take care of me.

    okay, you’re not a jerk. i didn’t mean it. i’m sorry. i was kidding. will you forgive me? it was just a joke. really. i truly didn’t mean it. it just popped out. i don’t know where that stuff comes from sometimes. my therapist says i have a lot of rage. that i’m “angry”. it took me ten years of therapy and $50,000 to be able to say that “I’m angry”. but i should know better than to say it for no reason, you have feelings too, i know, and it’s not fair to take my feelings of inadequacy out on you. i like you. you’re my first online friend, and here i am calling you a jerk. can you believe me? what’s my problem? i guess these damn pills are making me meaner than normal. yeah, sure, i’ll blame it on the pills. but there really is something to that, you know, kind of like the twinkie defense, but different.
