He got kicked out at 19.

We don't know what he had to do to survive.

We don't know what he had to live without.

We don't know how rough those first years were.

Robert wanting the security of money? a trauma response. And just because Aaron doesn't understand given his own insecurities and lived experiences that doesn't mean it's not true.

Now more than ever Robert has been staying with Vic but has been kicked out for stepping out of line multiple times already. And even more if you count just her waving that threat around. He has no money. His job is depended on Moira and the Dingles whims. His living situation is depended on Vic. He has no good will from anyone else in that town.

He has a field. That's the one thing he actually owns.

I wanna first apologise for not being present the last 2(?) months? I don’t think I’ve really felt myself for a while and I deliberately chose to distance myself from everyone.

I want to thank my friends for still reaching out to me, even though I’d practically fallen off the face of the earth, and for still caring about me when I didn’t really care about myself. I’m sorry I didn’t show you guys the same love but I hope I can now I’m here.

I opened a Google doc for the first time in weeks today which felt real fucking good, but I feel like I’ve missed SO much on here. So if I’ve missed any of your writing or art please link it to me because I’d love to read/see it! Or if I’ve missed anything crazy please feel free to tell me all about it.
