I can understand the desire for revenge. I can understand how it builds a nest out of mean scraps, half-forgotten things, and grows until it fits underneath your entire skin. I know what lust for revenge feels like, but I have a weak heart that's not made for hating. I'm bad at keeping grudges or saying things convincingly with anger (there are always tears, my mouth doing all the talking while my heart protests). I am not made that way, not even a little. I am too soft (?) or too sentimental, always giving the benefit of the doubt, always searching out that last shred of goodness. I was never an optimist, so what is it in me that does this? I have no faith in people, but believe in a person until there are no other options. The human capacity for indifference, the human capacity for knowing another, how they are at odds with each other.
I don't understand people who feel no love for anything. I understand walls and building them up and making them necessary, but to tear down your angels, to hurt your friends, to kill the parts of you that beat. I can understand and I can't understand. I can understand and I can't agree. Wrongness doesn't mean anything, doing the wrong thing has ceased to matter. But how can you stand against the sort of person you used to be? Maybe some people hate themselves and want to make themselves miserable (math, toxic relationships), and that can be a reason for adding to the list of things worth exploding over. Things Worth Exploding Over: 1)parents, 2)childhood, 3)finances, 4)relationships, 5)the death of everything you hold dear, 6)being a hypocrite a hypocrite a hypocrite, 7)destroying the only things left, 8)making them hate you. Who can add to a list like that? People with no hope, I guess.
What is this even about? Naruto, that's what this is about. I don't have a heart made for hate, but I have one that is convinced easily, is bound up in things easily. I suspect it is a medical condition, caring so fucking much about things that don't exist, but I really just can't understand how Sasuke can be such a fucking stupid bastard. How the fuck can he be such a fucking stupid bastard. Much in the same way that people I know can be stupid fucking bastards, and I love them so much that it kills me, kills me to be angry with them, to force myself to be angry with them, and it becomes a dual wound. Them hurting you, and you hurting yourself.
Also, I am sick in the way that, if untreated, causes disfigurement and eventually death. It's a hard concept to deal with, I'm trying my best, but my best is a joke on the best of days. The best medicine aside from real medicine is isolation and 60 episodes of Naruto in two days. I live an exciting and cutting-edge life, kids. Oh, brb, slitting my wrists. (I guess since I'm a depressive I have to add that this last part, the slitting my wrists part, is a joke. Do you know how truly difficult it is to slit your wrists? I guess it would be easier with something with more cutting power than an Exacto knife, a paperclip, a rusty paring knife, a serrated steak knife, or a shaving razor. What's left? A saw? A katana? Excalibur?)
Blah blah blah, time for more Naruto.
