[Someone is feeling a bit lonely today thanks to this mouse swarm. However, talking about things like this has always been difficult for her, especially in regards to feelings. Yet, she's not sure if she can keep bottling it up either. So have an anonymous text.]


Have you noticed how these mouse Pokemon are running around in pairs or in families of three or four?

It must be nice to have someone at your side without having to worry whether they'll leave. To have a family.

Do you have a family back home? What are they like?

I wish I could be as positive as you.

[That got the humor in his expression to leave entirely.]

We’re strangers. I don’t even have name or face with these words. So technically I’ve shared more than you had this entire conversation.

Which is strange, being the more honest one. So while I’m at it, I could part with something else.

We each wake up every morning to possibilities here. Our own choices. That’s more than anything so many have. Think of me what you will, I would have given everything to have this.

I didn’t mean to offend.

For me, opening up to others is difficult at best. I have my reasons for not sharing my identity or much else.

Anyway, I’m glad you have the ability to find what you need here. I wish you all the happiness.

Oh darling, you’d know it if you actually offended me.

Think of it as…parting wisdom? I’m not sure what you’d call it exactly. Maybe just advice. Enjoy what you can. Be selfish in what you want.

[A beat.]

I’m all in the know about keeping secrets, also. Hiding yourself. Not trusting people. You don’t need to fear a judging gaze at all.

[mywayistheway]

What if being selfish in what I want would only hurt others?

[bloodysnarky]

What will waking up each morning and looking forward to the day without weapons do to others? That was all I said I was doing. That’s all we were talking about.

[mywayistheway]

Right. Nevermind.

[Her mind had shifted gears to something else entirely. The original reason for this post. Oops.]

[Definitely will put this conversation in his back pocket. Maybe down the line he will attach this to a face and find it fascinating.

He oddly related to it somehow. But time will tell where this actually went. Truly interesting stuff.]

Listen, it’s all figuratively food for thought. We were all speaking on family and what not. You asked and I answered.

I won’t forget our little romp.

[She hopes he doesn’t! Bo thinks she’s only embarrassed herself.]

Then I will give it some thought.

Thank you.
