I never lived uncomfortably or anything, I really wish I could go back and appreciate what my family did.

But my relationship with my family was always strained.

Guess I’m a bit of a mess as well.

That's difficult.

At least everyone's a mess on this island. Hard to feel like you're the only one screwed up.

Aaugh, that was a weird thing to say. Makes me sound like I'm happy other people are hurting because I am.

No, it’s ok.

I don’t think it’s your happy, more... you know you’re not alone, right?

There’s comfort in things when you’re not the only one going through pain.

Exactly.

But it still feels weird. Best solution I've found is helping people in similar situations. Then I know I'm not alone and I'm making a difference.

I got you.

Lot of my friends have issues that I know they don’t talk to me about. But I can’t fault them cause I don’t talk to them about mine.

Whole island has issues, I swear sometimes.

Everyone really does.

About the friend thing, I think as long as you make it clear you're a source they can talk to whenever they're comfortable, then it's fine. I did that for my friends. Then again... I had to make boundaries too. Made it clear I could be someone to vent to but that I couldn't be a therapist for them.

I’ve tried, but i guess a lot of my friends are a bit stubborn. Not that’s an issue, probably part of how I became friends with them.

But I don’t want to be a therapist for them, absolutely. I don’t think I’d be able to handle it really.

Ah, right. Sometimes I forget people can be like that. I'm still used to a world where everyone's very emotionally open.

Which is weird... as I'm using this app... I'm not very good at acting my species, haha.

You and me both. I have been opening up more to them again. I just don’t want to burden them really since it’s my own issues.

I don’t think I quite act my species either.

I think good friends won't feel burdened by another friend's issue. Or, er, not in a bad way, if that makes sense. I feel honored and reassured to know how my friends feel and to be trusted to help. And even if I can't help, I'm still someone they can talk to.

But, uh, about the species thing. I don't think it's a big deal here. Wouldn't be to me if it wasn't an issue to my family. And don't get me started on how weird it is to be royalty and not accurately representing your people haha.
