You're a truly remarkable man, Gud, and it kills me to see you having to go through this. Ease-ma, for what it's worth.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Say, does anybody have a recipe for a non-chocolate cake? I don't seem to have such a thing in my personal recipe book. It seems that in Katerinaworld all dessert is chocolate and now I'm confused.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
{{{{{{{Gud}}}}}}} It's so hard. I'm sorry, sweetie.

Thanks for the punctuation. I don't know about courage, I just get through. The thing is, yeah I have my problems and faults in all this, but it isn't that simple. I don't want to say she's awful or anything, she's not, I just don't think she can see how she makes things difficult. Pointing it out is like puting kerosene on the fire. Only you know how in movies you get a big flair up and then there's makeup sex and everything is good? Totally does not work like that for us. There is the big flair up and then it just sucks. Ugh, I'm not really expressing myself well. Anyhow I have things of my own to work on and I've got to do better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gud, surviving takes effort, and you're spending it. There's courage enough in that.
I don't really care how right she may or may not be. I want the sweet and thoughtful Gud that I've come to know to not beat himself up. The world is hitting you hard enough as is. Don't join the pile on. If nothing else, get through and don't hate yourself. We like you, and we like you to like you.

Oh, I don't hate myself. I just wish I was doing better at this.

Some shit is just difficult, and can't be done better at. Not hating yourself-check. Now, stop beating yourself up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What ita said, Gud, especially the stop beating yourself up part.
And the we like you part.
And the surviving taking courage part.
And the rest.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am sorry this is so difficult, Gud my understanding is that things often get worse before they get better. For you I am hoping that these last couple of months will be the worst that there is before things get better ( whatever better means in this case)
