Why does everyone seem to hate and fear you? You try so hard, so much harder than everyone else…why can’t people see that you’re a kid with way too much on their plate? They only see the demon they want to see…disgusting! You don’t pay them any heed! You’re not a demon, or something to that holds Flaps back! You help others in need, and are a wonderful friend to Flaps! You respect him enough to let him remember…you have so much power over him, but you use it for his good!

* { they hate and fear me for damn good reason and i’m not about to sit here and act the victim over it. }

* { like, yes! it hurts like hell. yes, it’s isolating. yes, i wish it wasn’t the way it is – but because of who and what i am, there’s always going to be people who are afraid of me. for what others like me have done. }

* { and i’m not in a position to fault someone for being afraid like that. i’ve made my mistakes, i’ve hurt people. i’m not completely innocent. i’m still learning. }

* { acting like i do no wrong and that everyone who says otherwise is just “a hater” is only going to end poorly. it’s a harsh criticism, but it’s a needed one. i do have a lot of power, and i need to make sure i keep that fact in mind. so that i don’t abuse it anymore. }
