and youre happy like that?

dont you get worried?

[tylorific]

I am, and im not worried at all!

all you can do is your best and the rest will work out the way it's supposed to.

worrying never helps any.

[gluttoning]

do you have anyone else counting on you

[tylorific]

why would anyone

[ --rapid fire texts ]

haha
w i mean why would i?
i live my life the way i want.

i think everyone should, do what they want, the way they want to

[gluttoning]

you love a lot of people

i just figured you must have people that trust on you or rely on you somewhere

no family?

[tylorific]

who else do i love?

i love them but hani doesnt need me.

[ it's a short delay, but noticeable. ]

no. i dont have any siblingss.

[gluttoning]

just because they might not need you doesn't meant they don't rely on you for something. even if it's just your company sometimes.

you're all on your own? you don't sound all that older than me

[tylorific]

sure, but i love who i love. is two a lot?

oh yeah, i'm 20 years old! that's an adult here, you know. i can buy cigarettes and alcohol tooo.

you're around my age, aren't you??

[gluttoning]

i dont know. ive never been in love. but i love my brothers a lot and i have six of them. i don't think that's a lot. it's just right for me.

yeah im 19. can't buy alcohol but i can almost do everything else if I had to.

[tylorific]

wow, that's a lot. im really happy for you, having all that love.

and well

[ a pause. ]

ive never been in love like this before either, if im being honest! it's pretty intense.

but i sincerely hope you get to fall in love like this someday! it's really an amazing feeling and you sure have a lot to offer.

see, that's the States for you!!!! why isn't alcohol 18 too?

[gluttoning]

had to work hard to keep it, so i don't like to take it for granted. i don't know if im doing a good job anymore though

i dont know if i could handle it. being in love. girls that wanted to date me in highschool just made me mad. i don't think they ever saw me. i wouldn't want that kind of love.

[tylorific]

oh, really? what do you mean?

but i can understand that.
you want someone that loves you for who you really are, and not just your good looks. Something like that, right?

[gluttoning]

[type, delete. type, delete.]

complicated. sorry. i shouldn't have said that.

i don't know if it was because of how i looked or not. i dont really care about my appearance so long as im strong enough.

but i think youre right. i dont think it would be worth it if i couldnt be myself. id feel trapped or like i wasnt being heard

[tylorific]

it's okay, dont apologize. you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to.

i'm real good at keeping secrets if you ever want to talk about it though. talking about complicated stuff can make it easier to think about sometimes. love taught me that.

you're the strongest guy I know! but don't forget that you're caring and a good person too. I really admire how easily you put other people first. I think that matters way more.

find someone that can see all of that in you too. aaAnd really appreciate it, put you first sometimes. you dserve that.
