Hey, it's all right. You can most certainly feel sad about your fish! Just because they're fish, and a very simple pet, doesn't mean that you're not supposed to care when they die. They were your pets, and I always remember you talking about them with such fondness that sometimes it got me laughing if I was in a bad mood. You loved them a lot, didn't you? You even named them Yzak and Dearka! So go ahead, cry if you want to. They deserve it if you loved them, even if they are just fish
( ... )
Aw man I tried not to start crying again after reading your comment this morning it was so kind of you to say those things. I went out yesterday and spent an absolute fortune on all the best equipment like a new filter and pump and special solutions to go in the water for Yzak and he's doing ok. In fact he seems much happier and more playful and back to his old self again but still a little lonely without Dearka there.
I still can't believe how attached I got to these guys over such a short space of time. I think it's partly because I put the tank right next to my computer so I'm constantly watching them and chatting away to them. But for frick's sake I'm 22 and out of all my friends I'm the cold hard bitch that never cries or gets emotional about sappy stuff, if some small or fuzzy creature dies though that's it I'm a crumbling wreck!
Haha, you're like me. Well, clearly I'm not 22, but that's not the point. -_-; I'm the cold hard bitch out of my group as well, but if I see some fluffy animal die, I'm gone. I try not to cry but I get sad. The other day I accidentally ran over a frog and squashed it flat beneath the tires. I felt so terrible that I almost teared up. The poor little thing didn't deserve that death! Aw crap, I'm getting ticked off thinkng about it now. And when my dog died... I thought I was going to drown in my own tears, for crying out loud. (Although that was when I was only 12...)
Anyway, like I said, the whole thing gave me a good idea for a fanfiction. I've written the entire thing now, but something about the ending is irking me and it isn't right and so I have to find a way to fix it. Arrgh. Maybe I'll go do that now.
Yeah something like the frog thing ould bother me greatly. I like to live along the same guidelines as buddhists do and respect every living thing's right to life, this means I can't even squish a bug on purpose, so when my fish died and I realised I'd poisoned them i was totally heartbroken. I don't think it would ave been nearly so bad had Dearka gone of old age or something.
On a good note though Yzak is doing really well! He's so lively and bouncy with all his new stuff and loves to chase bubbles from the pump ^__^ I've decided I will get him a new friend but I couldn't call him Dearka... Maybe Fye or Tenshi or something.

Thankyou for being my rock through my mourning ^_____^
