Yeah, well, I do. And I guess that's the rub.
They can, but they don't.
I want to, but I can't.
heydrb: (Mm no)

From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.

What?
You don’t hold a monopoly on near-death experiences. Not even on recent ones.
I’m still technically broken.

There’s a lot you don’t know, Mark.
Your sister ever tell you about the night we met?
heydrb: ({Dark} Past creeps up)

Oh come on, Mark.
Nothing about that whole group was patient-doctor confidential.
We were ALL in each other’s business.
Some of us more successfully than others but still.


[…]

Before I realized she might really know someone like me?
Some of it was an act…same spiel I’d given so many other therapists before her.
But I think… I think a lot about that night. I was not…in a good place when I found her.

cw: talk of previous suicidal ideation

Maybe not.
But it was worse, then.

I know people would rather if I wasn’t a real person, just keep me the cartoon villain in your heads, because it’s easier to hate someone who you think of as pure evil.
But I’m not… I’m not the devil’s incarnate. I’m a guy that’s had a really fucked up life.

And sometimes I really think your sister saved my life that night.
Sometimes I wonder if she regrets that.


[…

……]

Did you seriously just called me cowboy?
heydrb: (Kinda bummed)

[personal profile] heydrb 2022-06-25 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. She would have found another way to get you out.
And I wouldn’t have fucked everything up even more in the process.
You all would have been better off if she’d just kicked me out of her office.


[He shouldn’t be doing this.
He’s not supposed to be doing this.
He knows that. He knows it’s part of the deal, to not put his trauma on Mark like this because it’s not fair, but he can’t stop. ]


I’m sorry.
I should go.
heydrb: (Stare down ~ frownyface)

I'm sorry.

Goodnight, Mark.
