We all have buttons. We all have cracks in our armor, holes in the masks that seem to be penetrated time and time again despite even the most cautious of actions. I believe I have given myself a new layer of second skin against those inner demons and skeletons

Getting the things you are most ashamed of out in the open is a tough thing to do. I barely know you, but am so proud of your ability to do this, and of the fact that you did it.

It also makes me feel along with you, as I too am an exaggerator. The hard part about that for me (and the web of lies) is that I've always done it for approval, and it hasn't cost me any friends necessarily, but it definitely has caused big strains in my relationships with family, especially my parents. Hard part for me is that I have to keep learning that lesson, and it doesn't seem to stick. Every time someone asks me a question that I don't like the "real" answer to...

Anyway. Good for you for putting this out there and letting it go. It reaffirms what I said to you the very first time we emailed back and forth. It is still true.

Well...this is nothing new to me I have to admit. I remember reading a certain entry here on this page that really nailed it for me, but it's something I've known since I re-met you. I think at that point in my life, I was almost completely surrounded by narcissistic exaggerating assholes. You know who I'm talking about (who, by the way, has become a stalker- we most certainly need to talk).
I think I know pretty much everything that you wrote in this entry before you wrote it. So I'll pat myself on the back for being so observing as well as analytical, and I'll give you a giant congratulations for being able to let go of your demons.
And soon, we shall have to catch up.

the armor never changes, but it sounds like you polished it up a bit.

Hmm

Chum:
-old friend
-chopped fish parts and blood used to bait sharks

How high are the walls now?

[another_dvs_guy]

As high as you choose to make them. There are no walls between you and I except distance, and the time between communication

[desacratrix]

They feel absurdly high.. I hate the distance, and I hate being busy.
