I just watched the Kid Cudi documentary on Amazon and it broke me. His story, what he went through, was sad but I cried for the one who relates to his music. I've been in a bubble for a while now. I've made promises to myself to be better for me but tonight I realized how guilty I feel.
I wonder what are his demons that lead him to feeling Cudi's music so deeply, I wonder what I could've done differently to help male it better. I feel terrible for not being able to stick around for him and I feel terrible that I feel guilty about choosing me. I know I was losing a battle no one knew about but I still wish I could've done better.
Over 5 years or trying and failing. Getting to the point where I felt like this was going to be my forever then accepting that right now I had to fight for me. Knowing that I had already placed him in my future and me walking away meant I also gave up on the things I wanted the most.
I watched the documentary seeing the ups and downs the moments when he put on a brave face and hid how he felt even from the people closest to him and I wish I could've been better stronger braver to be there for him. I wish I could've stuck around so he would've trusted me enough to allow me to help him carry the burdens. And I wish I was in a better place to fight my demons without walking away from him.
I'm listening to Pursuit of happiness now and the tears are back in full force. I hope he is able to get past the darkness, I hope he never gives up. I hope he know that I'll always love him and will be there to help him if he needed me. I hope he know that the part of my heart that is his will always be his.
I don't judge him for his choices and I'm no longer mad. I don't understand it I don't understand him at all. I always thought I did until tonight. Because as I listen to these songs I know it's a lot deeper than I could've imagined. He always quoted "i hope they understand that I really understand that they don't understand" and I thought except me but I was wrong. I don't.
I think now I'm crying all the tears I've avoided. I'm sorry to him. I'm sorry to me.
