Dear Becoming That Guy,
Hey so, so… so listen man — I didn’t wanna have this conversation this way… I don’t even really wanna have this conversation at all if I’m being honest, okay? But I feel like I need to get off my chest, I feel like I need to say, you know, you’re kinda becoming that… you know, that guy. I think you know what I mean, you know that… that guy, and like… I’m still here — I’m still your friend and I’m gonna keep being your friend I promise you, no matter what… I’m gonna keep being your friend, but like… there’s a reason why Blake isn’t here, there’s a reason why Tyler and Everett aren't here, and you know it’s… I’m not saying that it’s also why things didn’t work out with you and Britney, but like…I’m not saying that it’s entirely you know separate either… Like, I know this is hard but like… just to be completely honest, you know… I just don’t wanna hang out with that guy. I just don’t. I don’t wanna go to the bar or play poker with that guy… … and I’m sure, again I know this is hard… but like, I get why someone wouldn’t wanna date that guy… and you know I know it hurts I know, and like… I understand everything that happened, but… but… you’re becoming that guy, and that’s not a good thing… and I feel like I owe it to you to tell you that to your face, you know, straight up, man… man-to-man.
So just, you know… keep that in mind, you know… look, like… I’m, I’m not judging, I promise, I’m… I’m not judging, but like the other day, you know, we’re just at the fucking movies, man… and I know it’s just the trailers and what not, but like, I want to listen to Nicole Kidman talk about the magic of the movies, bro… Like I’m getting geared up for Paddington in Peru, and I just… I don’t want to hear it — don’t want to fucking hear it, you know… and again you know I, I… I don’t know who I would be in your position — I’m, I really don’t. Look and, and… and I get that but it doesn’t change the fact of who you are and who you’re acting like right now around me and… and around the boys and around… like, you know how, how you were with Britney towards, towards… towards the end. Cause… the beginning was good — it was just, just afterwards… just towards the end.
I can’t — I want to reiterate… I can’t imagine you know like you, you… you go through the shit you go through, this fucking shit, and, and at the end you know you come through where you’re intact, you know, in the in, in, in… the way — in ways — no matter what was lost, you know… in most ways that matter. Like you know the love of your life, it’s just it, just it broke you and it just… it broke that and like I’m sorry, like that is — I can’t imagine what that would be like to go through, like I can’t… like bro, like… I just — I can’t imagine it myself, like if I lost, you know, like lost Louisa… … but like, what it’s doing to you is not okay, it’s just not… it’s not you, and you have to have to have to find a way through without becoming the guy you’re becoming, you know?
And I get it, I get it, and… and, and I get it but like — fuck, man — like yeah, I didn’t get dragged down by an eldritch horror to its subterranean city where its worshiped by an enslaved population of cultists, you know? That would… that would be a traumatic experience for anyone… I assume that it would be, but like fuck, man, like… when we’re at the bar just no one wants to hear about it, just no one wants to fucking hear about it, and, and… when you bring it up every time it’s just you — you’re that guy you know, you just, you’re just that guy and I don’t want you to be that guy, man… like, let’s, let’s talk about the fucking Red Wings, man… let’s talk about the fucking Red Wings and let’s talk about the Stanley Cup and let’s jam to that fucking Shaboozey song and drink beer and talk about, you know, like random shit… and not like Cthulhu, you know but like — no, man just don’t, just please don’t be that guy… please I’m begging you, like, just, you know for me, man… like, just try just, just try to — just for me, for yourself, and for everyone around you just, like… try to stop becoming that guy please, please try bro, please…
