Personne n'a jamais pu vous aimer plus que moi. Je promets. <- this + How much I love you = Total amount (x)

X is how much I love you. You may solve for X.

(How much you love me) + How much I love you = X

That aside, there's alot I could say about that. In truth, as much as we both like to verbally express how much we care about and for each other, there is really only so much either of us can do for each other. I have dark parts of myself I have yet to reconcile with. Until it dies, I cannot sleep. Until it burns, I am not free. Until I repent, my sins run in my veins deep. There are things about me I don't trust you to accept, or understand, or even know. It isn't even that you don't deserve to know, but rather, for someone who will likely not end up being the one I take my vows with, its not your place to take on that kind of burden. My partner and I take on each other’s burdens every day, and for what she alleviates, I am grateful, and for what I alleviate she is grateful. It's as much as either of us can ask from each other. I love you in every way I could love you; as a friend, a sibling, a parent, a lover. In all its forms, I feel about you, some more than others, but pure and true nonetheless. The only way to know what you say is true, is to tell you the things about me none should ever know. As much as you'd probably like to prove your love, I don't think its worth the cost. I don't want to experience that twice.

For what it's worth, there's someone in the world who needs your promise more than me. I love you, and I'm ecstatic you love me, and I'll never stop caring about you. However, as much as I will continue to be a part of your life, I've already made the commitment to share my life with someone else. It's not like it isn't something we both didn't already know, but it's not something we've ever really talked about. Anyway, love you, and take care. (you can always bug me on my phone too.)

You know.. this was surprisingly really hard for me to read. I read it days ago, but I couldn't really bring myself to reply until I took some time to think about what I wanted to say. Please excuse me if this comes out wrong. I have trouble explaining how I felt reading this.. and trouble reasoning how I feel about all this. 

I do love you. I've loved you for as long as I can remember. You were, in my mind, my first love. You really are the one person who I think knows me the best (right after me, of course). But I don't mean that lightly. I mean that I think you know the real me. You know the ugly me that I hate looking at. But, that is a totally separate topic. It's not important right now. 

I know that you have found what you are looking for, and I thought I did too for a while. I know that you are happy and, in turn, I am so very happy for you. I knew that this thing, whatever it is, between us would never actually make it to a serious point. I kinda fooled myself into thinking it would happen, and it has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do to convince myself it wouldn't. I guess it's hard for me to let you go. 

I know that I am needed in someone else's life. I know that I have a lot to offer someone. But I also know that I am not in the point in my life when I want all that. I just want to be me for a while, whoever that may be. 
Long story short, I understand where you are coming from. You are still my closest friend, and I hope that I still mean a fraction of what I used to to you. Know that I will always love you, even if it's not exactly the best thing for me. I know that I will never be able to not. So, I live in a Catch 22 (: 

Thank you for telling me how you feel, you always know I love hearing you think. Don't be a stranger, feel free to call me or text me or whatever. If you don't want to, I understand too. Thanks for everything, Lucas. I mean that.

I wasn't easy to write. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to say what I wanted to say. Thoughts like these had been floating in my head, and I always got sad at the thought that I'd never really get the chance to know if it would have worked... at the same time, I didn't want to go through the same motions I went through with Wolfgirl and Novera that I did online (which was a horrible disgusting mess.) I didn't want to do that again, I didn't want you to deal with that, because more likely than not it would have happened, simply because of expectation. Expectation begets disappointment, disappointment begets depression. The demand to express emotions physically could not be met, and therein the problem lies.

When I started my relationship with "Lite" it wasn't serious, it was an attempt at something normal, something immediate, something I could learn from, and get some practice. Sure, I liked her, we'd been friends, and had been hanging out. The mentality for both of us was "lets just see where it goes." Getting together was practice at being a good lover, a good friend, and ultimately to figure out how to be a good husband.  It didn't get serious until I was made aware of a crisis I wasn't aware was present for me, a crisis that when push came to shove, she was there for me for. Once we crossed that line, there was really no coming back from it. All in all, our relationship didn't end up being normal or formal. Our idea of a date isn't going to the movies, its playing the new release of whatever game just came out. Hanging out is playing D & D or Magic The Gathering at a friend’s house. Ultimately, it's been 4 years and our love has grown from a tiny seed in the ground into the size of The Great Deku Trree (as nerdy of a reference as that is.)

That doesn't mean I care about you any less. It doesn't mean I don't have feelings for you any less. Loving her doesn't mean not loving you or not loving you as much. That is not the case. I'm living with the same Catch 22. I'd even got permission to spend some personal and private time with you, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen. Likely for no other reason than our lives not lining up. For what it's worth, you shouldn't have to change for the person you're with, unless it simply means replacing bad habits with good ones. That doesn't change where you like to eat, or what things you like to do, or the kind of movies you like to watch. It doesn't mean change the way you say things, or to stop saying certain things altogether. Your personality should not be a concern in any relationship, including ours. I like you for you, and because you are you, and especially because you are not anyone else. Sure, it helps that I typically can read you when it matters, like if you're upset, or brooding, but I'm not psychic. Lite and I have learned the hard way that assumptions are the cruxes that ruin relationships.

I've never been one to beat around the bush, never have, and never will. You can always trust me to tell you the truth. Of course I'm going to text,  or call you (preferably) ; ) but I will. I love you, for all that you are, I love you. Thank you too, our relationship has been cause for me learning things about myself, whether you know that or not, and for that, I am an extremely grateful.

Well sometimes in life we all have to say things that are hard to say. I know I've had to do that with you before.. for a long time. I want to thank you for all that you have done for me. You may not know quite how much but you helped me find me. For that... I could never thank you enough. There is a part of me that is holding out to see you someday, and I hope that by some amazing coincidence we end up in the same place at the same time. If that happens, I know chances are slim, I want to talk to you for hours about anything and everything. Until then, I miss you and would love to talk sometime soon!

Hey, I don't really know Calbvoorhees, I didn't talk to him before replying to you. I just popped in after a couple of days to see what was going on and then replied to your reply to me. So no, you don't know he unblocked you long enough for me to reply about anything.

Now, I read through all of the stuff i could get my hands on about your little internet melee, the discussion on Moni3's article, the blog post you linked on Calb's profile and the resulting argument there. 

I think there's something I missed, about a chatroom, but it seems to me that somewhere along the way, someone got angry about something.

Moni3 is one of the more chill, cool & collected people I have talked to. When you pop into the thread, for the first couple of posts, you come across as a besserwisser, you make your entry bluntly and state your opinions as fact. With most people, the civilized discussion ends there, because it is supremely annoying.
With Moni, you eventually mellow out, because Moni is a really cool person so you go on to have a really amiable and even interesting discussion.

If Moni's article had been made by me (which it wouldn't have, because Moni is way less ignorant about these matters than me) I would not have replied to you. 
Not because you didn't agree completely with me, which is fine, because I always leave the benefit of doubt in what I think, but because you would allready have given me the impression of not being moveable in your standpoint. If it was made by someone of a different temperament than me or Moni's it would probably have provoked annoyance or anger. You seem to react poorly to hostility, which is fine, but not if you really want to see where a discussion goes, where people really stand, or if they have anything interesting to say.

And so it spirals downwards, Your opinions of people is diminished, because of their hostility towards you, and vice versa.

you do have some really interesting points, I think the impression you give away is keeping you back. You apparently seem to be able to change your viewpoint in a civilized discussion though, and I respect that, but maybe you should work on getting into civlilized discussions in the first place. Show that will to change your opinions and you will have an easier time of moving others' thoughts.

-----end of me being frank and thinking I'm correct-----

While your stab at my stuff stung a bit, not gonna lie, i'm not going to try to find something to gripe about on your stuff. I goaded you while you were being angry, and it was fully deserved. All is fair in love and war etc etc.

But if you're going to accuse me of not getting lighting and shading, can you please link some pics and give some pointers. Even my friends who are really skilled have never mentioned my ineptitude with this even though they tend to give good constructive advice about shit i do. So don't leave me hanging with this incredibly shriveled flaccid dick & bloated blue balls when you say shit like this, i'll take specific & constructive criticism with grace. 
Hell, you can even link the pieces you think are really bad & shut up, it'd still be better than being uncertain about some guy on the internet being right about you being bad.

Stay chill, its good for your blood pressure. Laters

courglas In reply to Nailclippins [2014-08-15 21:04:35 +0000 UTC]

Nah, you're on the level, I was really just being an ass (mostly at cale) for not wanting to share his difference of opinion on Moni's article, which was how this started. He posted it rearing about how amazing it was, but at first glace (first read through) I didn't really care for it, and disagreed that it was the all amazing article that Cale said it was. He called me an ignorant idiot, based on one missing comma in my reply, and I proceeded to ask what his conclusion of Moni's article was, and he decided "I wasn't worth his time" so I posted that blog on his page with the very blatant "here you go jackass." and the rest ensues. When I posted, I wasn't looking for an intelligent conversation anymore, I was just goading him back for hiding behind the mods in the chat. (which he got me banned from the chat from our outside the chat conversation). As for the unblocking thing, if I go there now (and I have) I'm stilling blocked from responding to Cale, however whenever someone is blocked, that means no one (including you) can't reply to the blocked recipient. (This was included in an update to stop people from being able to keep responding to the blocked person, even though the blocked person could not respond, allowing for the blocked user to continually be harassed). I may never block anyone ever of all time on my own profile, but I've pissed off enough people to know thoroughly how it works. My guess would be, if you couldn't respond, you'd probably of asked Cale, and he either told you how it works, or pretended not to, unblocked me, told you "i' don't know what you're talking about" or "yes you can" and unblocked me long enough for you to reply, and then blocked me again. mystery solved.

Your annalysis isn't half bad, pretty on the mark, but let me straighten a few things out. Now knowing the whole story, and how I was intentionally being an ass, it would reason for me to say, that my opionion of people is always the same. Sure, some of us are smart, but most of us are stupid. Even those of us that are smart, have the potential to act stupid, regardless of that. Cale, was being an ass, so instead of walking away, I decided to be an ass back, no hard feelings on my end at least. I'm one of the more chill, cool, collected, individulas as you phrase, however, I guarantee you that if you caught or provoked Moni the right way, it wouldn't have been any different. I've known people that never get into fights ever, but all you need is the right circumstance to make it happen. For me, sometimes I just feel like fucking with people, but I don't like going out of my way to do it. I don't bother people unless they're being an ass, really, that's about it. I didn't even come into the chat looking for trouble, I simply expressed an opinion, and ass hat over there decided I was an ignorant idiot for grammar. Typically, if I wanted an interesting conversation (which I would have obliged to had Cale accepted), I'd go there first. I didn't make any future responses with that intention initially, and Moni proved to be as versed about art, if not more so, than I am. The only thing I feel bad about is being an ass, I think, initially to Moni, because that was the only moment I posted without thinking about too much, and I ended up changing my mind (about his article), which is why my second response was a lot less like how I hit up Cale, especially because of how Moni handled it. I personally think it's funny to have a shit throwing contest, (since back in the day people did that pretty often on here with no hard feelings) but the times have-a changed. I'm still on old school, stubborn assed deviant who doesn't really care who he pisses off one way or the other while I'm laughing on my side of the keyboard.

Long story short is that changing your opnions very easily just makes you wishy washy. Moni is not wishy washy, and neither am I. The fact the we both heavily stand in our own positions makes sure we let nothing slip by. If there are weaknesses in each others argument, we point them out. I"m still working on my reply to Moni as we speak, because it takes more time than simply replying to a combative message between users than an well thought out arguement.

That being said, I was being just as mean to anyone else who joined in, because it was a shit throwing contest, and I'm pretty decent at throwing shit around, so as for your work, there may be SOME truth to it, since I did glance at your work to make the remark, however if you really did want to some help, I know a few artists on here that can properly and thoroughly point you in the right direction. I'm not going to apologize though, since you made the choice to join in. I will however say, that if you decided to continue talking to me, feel free to always be frank, I like that better than being all flowery. We can even do an old fashioned art exchange, where I look at something of yours and critique it, and you look at something of mine and critique it. I'm stubborn, an ass, and very straight forward, and I have no problem stating my own flaws. Likewise, you probably wont find a more honest, sincere, or good person elsewhere. Speaking of which, since we are now disengaged, you do have some interesting concept art.

No, I mean i didnt talk to caleb at all before replying. So it's a mystery i guess. 

Also, I wasn't talking about easily changing your opinions, but rather, through attitude showing that they may be swayed.
You did make me take a look through my own gallery and discover some mistakes I hadn't caught before, so there was a use for that, and i no longer feel sore, not because you said you were just being an ass, but more the healing hand of time.

I probably wouldt have written the tome of a message to you if i hadn't been rather tired and terse, and this whole exchange has gotten embarassingly heart-to-heart, so lets close the whole thang down.

And an art exchange? meh I wouldnt be able to tell you the first thing about what was good or bad abt writing. I'm about as close as you get to uncivilized savage when it comes to art and literature if you're looking in the crowd with an actual art education. What should i say, I was more interested in other things.

I guess I just don't really care much either way. Embarrassingly heart to heart? Far from it. A least for me its not. This is just how I am. As much as people like to run around with a big head, spewing bullshit constantly, and think they are right about everything, ever of all time, I do not. Nor to I pretend, or care to act any different than I am. Online or offline. What's embarrassing? There's nothing terribly personal about our conversation, but most importantly 0% intimate. And while I may be very straight forward, (as have you) that's not really a thing for me, I'm just this way ALWAYS which makes for a much less valid case in this whole embarrassing heart flowery cupcake thing you seem to think is going on. Rest assured mate, it is not.

Y'know, realistically, I probably wouldn't have posted that link if I hadn't been tired and terse myself.

Well the point of any exchange is to gain new perspective. It might not be the most insightful, or the most educated, or critical, but the point is to try and attempt being as analytical about whatever it is you’re viewing in order to help the person whose work you're viewing improve. Isn't that why you asked? You say you were interested in other things, yet you came to me asking what I meant about your work, if I meant it, how I meant it, and more specifically what specifically I was talking about. And I don't just write, I'm also a musician currently earning my degree. So, in a nutshell, the whole writing and music thing tend to go hand in hand. Even if you're "barbaric" about your reviews or opinions (that is to say unless you simply haven't studied any arts) I don't really care one way or another about your background in regards to critiquing any work (especially my own).

Anyway, to each their own I guess, peace.

If your true intent was to get me to play music with your husband I can't think of any good reason why you would approach me so elusively and more so, even hide the comments on your page.

As cold as this is going to sound, I don't owe you anything. You've burned your bridges more than once, and the last thing I want to do is get into all the old questions that have been unanswered for over half a decade now. Granted I still want answers, that last thing I want to do is get involved again.

I guess what it really boils down to since I'm not one to beat around the bush is this. I don't mind meeting up with you, just you and me, that is, if you want to talk, because that seems like more your actual motive than getting your husband and I to play music together. I promised myself that I would see you some day, but I honestly thought I'd drop by on my way across the U.S. on the road trip I’m planning to have with some *family of mine. Anyway, since that clearly isn’t going to be part of the road trip, I don't see why I can't meet up with you since you're "in the area."

That aside, I don't even know where in California you are. You could be all the way at the bottom in San Francisco or Sand Diego, or all the way up in Washington by Canada, but I suppose you could also be smack dab in the middle in the Los Angeles area, and as far as playing together, none of that is going to happen if the commute is too far. Plus, as far as playing together, it's really not that simple. There's a matter of whether or not we like how each other plays, and whether or not we click. Typically if one or neither of those things happen, we won’t end up playing together. I also have no reference to anything he has played or done, or if he even likes any of my music (original compositions.) If he wants to shoot me an email with all of his info at my business address that's fine by me;___________________ and if you want to show him my work you know where to find it, and if you don't, you can just ask.

It's a really unpleasant feeling when someone wants to meet up while acting so mysterious like. I still don't know why you can't just outright say hello. I guess in honesty I could go on forever about how you approached me, but I'm not going to do that here. From a mile away I can see you're hiding something and I used to want to know what that was, but I don't have time for these games anymore _______. You know what your options are if you want to meet up with me, and I provided an address if your husband (whom you decided not to name) wants to get in touch with me if he even likes my work.

I guess we’ll talk later ________. I trust if you are serious, you'll send me a note with an alternate method of contact that is more private, vis-a-vis a number or email address since sending a note on DA doesn't seem to be your thing.

*family-the friends that have become family.
