the first time i recontacted her, i drew this image. its hard to believe she ever made me feel this way now, but that's part of what was so sick about it. i had been feeling so insecure and alone and empty. she encouraged me to create, she didn't flinch at my mental issues, she still wanted to speak to me even when i was in a crazy mood. its meaningless now obviously. she accepted me indiscriminately.

this ones strange. i made this once when she triggered my abandonment issues hahaha but of course she liked how clingy i was because it meant i was emotionally reliant on her.

the stress of our relationship caused me to have a psychotic break. she promised to me things would stay exclusively romantic. slowly, that changed. she hadn't crossed the line at this point but she was nudging things in that direction.

i did this right after the first time i tried to leave her. its a self portrait, it really hurt taking the reference photo haha. the quote is from a blog we used to stalk together.

this took three hours to do. the meaning kind of falls flat now. i think i was mad she never paid as much attention to me as i did to her. i was her fan at some point, i stalked her blog. now i just wish id spent the time elsewhere.

i said i had left her but i was compulsively checking her blog as i had been doing since i got back into contact with her. id search her old urls and i ended up finding essays she wrote like 3 years ago and reading thru them. she was still checking my blog too: we were basically still in contact.

we got back into contact. i vented to her a lot and it was meant to help but half the time it made me feel worse and this is an example of that. i think she liked to hear me vent because it meant she got to be close to me. gross.
making this meant i didnt need to actually do anything to myself so even tho its depressing, im glad i made it.

i could share anything with her. the sick intimacy started to feel normal. this was just before she destroyed everything. we lost contact on 1/july/2022.
