there's a kind of comfort in a computer, i think

Every year, I go spend Christmas or Thanksgiving or something with my family. It isn't bad! Um, well. Thanksgiving last year was kind of bad. And last year's Christmas was spent with my boyfriend at the time, and that was nice too. 

This is the first year I've had really all to myself; I think I want to take advantage of that. 

Ehehe, this holiday season, I'll give a gift to myself! (Oh, but that's not to say I don't have anything prepared for my friends. Um, I'll have to distribute those presents before I leave.) I think I want to travel. Er, I've been to Unova before, but that was on business. It wasn't an extensive trip anyways. And other times that I'd leave Hearthome, it would always be to visit someone.

I want to be selfish. 

I know for sure, I don't want to work on the PC forever. 

I love what I do, and I...suppose I love what I've been doing with my life these past several years, but I don't think it's my dream. Not entirely. I borrowed from Bill...a little out of admiration, out of love...

Building a PC network wasn't a dream born in my own heart. I wish I had a stronger conviction, like Flint and his battling or Hikari and her contests. 

For now, I suppose I should put my efforts into myself; that's what I've been doing for these past few months. I've been working more with my Eevee, um, I took up knitting, and I've been helping out at the Hearthome church... I take some personal laptops in for occasional repair, y'know, to have some living money. 

What's really important is, well, I've taken a break from working on the storage system! I don't see the need to overstress on work, so I've only been doing maintenance work. I can't let the region down just because I want to take a break! 

There are hundreds of trainers that rely on my work...

I needed to belong to myself again. I admit...um, I was lonely without his presence, but there was a distance that had managed to wedge its way between us, ah, a metaphorical distance, you see, not the literal miles that happened to separate us, and so.. Oh! Oh, and so, I suppose I was lone..ly..around him as well. 

I wish I could say "I'm coping well, I'm moving on, i'm moving forward, I'm adjusting to solitary life," b-but I'd be lying if I was to tell you that I've been subconsciously doing so on my own. An existence of romantic solitude is one I'm very familiar with, I think.

Yeah, it’s not much, but I figured it could do… If we get really bored and hungry, we could make an adventure and go out to some random 24/7 place in Hearthome. Oh, and I hope you like comedy!

Comedy movies, huh? Uh, I guess so! To be honest...haha, I really like Disney movies but! This'll be fun, whatever the movie is.

[With hair combed and pants on, Bebe answers the door, delighted to see her "favorite person". She holds it open and ushers Flint inside.]
