And if Declan and estella figure that they've been left to die alone, well, what does that make me?
I'm here. I'm a person. If I'm not a person-- ergo Grim Reaper?
You guys may not have many satisfying social contacts face to face. But this medium is human interaction too. And I find estella and Declan to be some of the most intriguing people I've ever met in any context.
Declan's mind makes connections that seem so random, and yet so inevitable. Maybe you were born without a median strip, but maybe you're just ahead of your time?
Estella can argue the pants off anyone, and when she's done, she's only written 3 words. Brevity is a virtue, but not when complexity is sacrificed.
And I don't want either Declan or estella to wear shame like some tawdry scent. You're not an affront because you suffer. I don't blame the messenger. That's just plain lazy.
Why do you suffer? you don't understand people? me neither. I just grin and nod and make eye contact. Find out who is good for what. Some people are good for hugs, some people are good for sex, some people are good for lunch breaks, some people are good for long phone calls, some people are good for absorbing my uncivil thoughts. Some people are not good for me at all.
But that's just for me. I don't think that being obscure is a bad thing. Everyone can be popular in their own special way. Why not be popular for being obscure?
((((Declan))))
((((Estella))))and an Etoile for you both!
