she said it calms her down when he talks to her. he said he doesn't know why but he couldn't discuss this with anyone but him. she said she hadn't felt so good about herself in the longest time. he said he manipulates people's minds into this temporary state of unreasonable lightness, something like a cheap drug, and he talks them into self-appreciation...
it's nice and all that but he doesn't really care for many of them. not that he's a mean person or anything, not the he doesn't like to make people feel good about themselves in general, it's all there. it's just that it's all a massive weak attempt at exonerating himself from his past, when the only one who ever mattered left for this and other reasons, because the very he failed to make her feel good about herself, and because someone else didn't.
ironic.
or not.
or that's how everybody lives their lives, exonerating themselves from their failures, their mess-ups, themselves.
Crap!
even in your past, you made her feel good about herself in the begining. the way noone could do that for her. But it was temporary,then you only made yourself feel good about you. The world is around you.
