im not evil

[LessThanBread]

but i can be. manipulative and insidious. i hurt someone i loved a long time ago. the me of today is not the me of the past. i had an old friend who i confided in. i can't stop the thoughts i have. i can control my actions. his trust in me faded fast after an honest conversation. little quips here and there. til one day i felt he just simply looked down at me. no tangible trust. suspicion at every corner. i couldn't bear it.

He knows not of the trials of those who don't live in ivory towers. and couldn't fathom why i am the way i am. he heard a nasty rumor about me and believed every word of another without hearing mine. his last words were short and cold. but make no mistake, i left his presence a long time ago. before he left mine.

Thanks for sharing. I had someone betray me before and it hurt really bad. I hope you feel better soon! Best wishes.

I believe you're not evil. I've done some things I'm not proud of, like you. And like you I am a different person today. Forgiveness and flexibility are important qualities.
