myy dad got laid off...again. well, his companyy closed 15 of 63 branches. this boyy is talking to me, so strange. i've known him since second grade. but he onlyy existed in myy life. and now he asks me whyy he's so fucked up. he wants to know whyy nobodyy likes him. i answer his questions. feeling like i am giving advice, even though it's not myy place. can a person be an advice-giver and an advice-seeker at the same time? it is a curse. being able to feel anything everyy other person does. i don't have to tryy, i alreadyy stand in their shoes. it means that i can't hurt anyone without hurting myself. not much to sayy. such a bland entryy. sorry. r.i.p. salim. he would have been seventeen todayy. if onlyy he had waited four more dayys....
