Depths of Madness

Today's Happiness is brought to you by Pokemon!

Emotion: Don’t look at me like that Logic: *scowls* Why not? You are the reason she is the mess she is Emotion. Emotion: *whimpering* I was just doing what I thought was  best… She needs to feel too, not just think Logic: *scoffing* You thought that was best? You thought it was worth the tears, the pain, the emptiness she began to feel? Emotion: She was happy..mostly. I mean she smiled and…and…and…he needed someone to care for him.. She likes helping people.. Logic: You call that happiness? I call that being scared to be alone and to be blinded by you to see the truth. Emotion: *speaking softly* If it was up to you she wouldn’t be happy either… You would just work her to death. You wouldn’t consider how she felt…or what she likes and wants… I mean she already struggles with normal emotions. It isn’t healthy to have to remind yourself how you should act around people. You have already failed her. Logic: Pretending is better than putting her heart on her sleeve so others can walk by and take a piece of her. *raises voice* And I failed her?! No you did! I set the warning signs off, I gave the signal that she should run and run far away so she wouldn’t spend anymore nights crying herself to sleep wondering what was wrong with her! But you, *chuckles*You made her feel, convinced her she loved him so she stayed and little by little slowly began to fade away until only an empty beaten shell was left! Emotion *whimpering turns to sobbing* I thought she…she would be Logic: *voice raised* Thought she would be happy? Well you were wrong! *takes a deep breath calming down* Look don’t cry…she is out of that now. Everything should be okay.  Emotion: *Looks up sniffling* But..what about him? The new glimmer? Logic: *sighs* I will control it. You are not meddling this time, I will not see her broken down like that again.. Emotion: But she needs me! Who else will explain the knees shaking, the butterflies, the warm and fuzzy feelings she gets from the sound of his voice? Logic: *rubs temples* Fine… I guess we will have to work together but this time you WILL listen to me if I say enough. You will NOT keep her in a situation because you THINK it is best. You don’t think, just explain all that rubbish. I will analyze. Understand? Emotion: *nods* Okay.. *mumbled* Just don’t over think this..this is different.. Logic: We will just have to wait and see.. You said that last time too. Emotion: I know….but this feels different. Logic: It would appear that way. They are compatible. Emotion: So together then we will make her happy? Logic: Together. *they exist side by side*

Once upon a time a girl was locked away in a tower. She believed people when they said the world was harsh and unsafe for a girl to be out in. For years she listened to them speak of the dangers afraid to challenge what they said. As the girl's body grew, so did her mind and she began to wonder; was the world really that bad? She gazed out her window taking in all she could from the world beyond her own. Her ears began to grow deaf to the warnings of those around her while he head filled with adventures. As the moon hung in the sky and washed over the land the girl climbed from her tower, touching down on the ground for the first time. The chains that had bound her were broken and she was filled with a feeling she couldn't explain a mix of joy and over bearing sadness for the life she was leaving behind. Spending little time the girl fled the only world she had every know to see new lands. Over the years the girl saw the harsh world she had been warned of but she became stronger for it. She learned from the falls she took and the triumphs she had. After years of being away the girl returned to her tower feeling a sense of peace come over her. She had experienced so much it was a relief to be within the walls of the tower. The girl had grown into a woman and brought her own daughter into the world. A daughter she raised in the tower with open doors and a vast world spread out before her.

Okay people... If something bothers you THEN YOU NEED TO FUCKING TELL THE OTHER PERSON! Shutting down won't solve anything, ignoring them won't fix it. Especially if you are dating that person. Recently an ex of mine contacted me. An ex I have not talked to in years. My current boyfriend of 2 years flipped out and shut down because  "this bothered him." I was baffled, I wasn't flirting with my ex, I wasn't confessing my undying love to this other man, nor did I have intentions of leaving. I told my boyfriend that I love him and only him, I told him I planned on staying with him as no other person could steal me away. Apparently this isn't good enough. Apparently he is still insecure. His reasoning for it bothering was  "Well If I was talking to an ex it would be the same." No it wouldn't and here is why. I am comfortable and secure enough in our relationship to know he won't cheat on me or leave me. I trust him. So to me his flipping out shows that he doesn't trust me. I pointed this out and his reasoning became "Well you got upset when I flirted with Vi-Vi (a mutual friend)" Yes that did bother me because he was flirting with her in front of me and had told me he preferred  her. Now that seems like an entirely different scenario, I mean really? It has now become me simply being fickle. Now last time I looked fickle meant "changing frequently, esp. as regards one's loyalties, interests, or affection." Now I fail to see how I have changed loyalties or affections. All he says is that I "don't understand" so when I ask him to explain it to me, make me understand he just shuts down and quits talking to me. Now I know the way to fix this is to stop talking to my ex but I refuse to let another human being control my actions especially when they are harmless. So my question to you is, who is in the wrong here?

It is called Fall of the Guardians and involves badass animal companions, violence, reincarnations, dragons, elves, all the good shit!
