[It's alright Dave. You've given him a lot to kind of think on with this too. The only person he's told. God. That feels both good and, well. Alarming. The idea that he's the one Dave is turning to, when the guy deserves a lot better. Deserves someone who could help him a lot more.
It's uplifting and discouraging, all at the same time.
There's a major urge, too, to tell Dave that Gary can go fuck himself either way. But he manages to bottle that down as well.]
Something I've learned through doing this crap is You kind of need to get things out when you can.
If you leave them bottled up too long, you're going to burn and burn until you burn out and the bottle just explodes in flames. Bottling it up doesn't extinguish that crap; somehow it makes it worse.
Emotions don't make you weak, Dave. Ignoring them does. Acknowledging them makes you strong.
You don't even want to ask how long, or what it took, to get me to get my head out of my ass and realize that.
You're my friend, Dave.
Won't always have all the answers, hard as that is to believe. But I'll try.
