Harley: hey stranger

Stranger: Oh hey you’re back

taking up the offer?

Harley: if that’s alright

Stranger: that’s more than alright 

Harley: so… how are things?

Stranger: what’s going on with you?

are you alright?

Harley: oh damn straight to the point huh?

im alright

just didn’t wanna jump right into the whole vent thing

Stranger: oh that’s okay, we don’t have to talk about anything sirius. just text whenever you’re ready.

Harley: oh yeah, i’m ready just wanna know if you’re ready.

Stranger: ??

Harley: how are things with you? i don’t wanna just vent and be an inconvenience

Stranger: You know, my therapist says i should talk about my problems

Harley: yeah?

Stranger: mhm. but i would much rather listen and talk about someone other than myself

Harley: i get that. do you still want me to talk?

Stranger: go right ahead.

Harley: I used to have a girlfriend.

Stranger: ew

sorry

what happened?

Harley: i’m getting there

We were fine for about nine months yeah?

but then classes started taking a toll on her and kept blaming everything on me which is not entirely wrong i probably could’ve made my priories a little bigger than a job and school but it’s ok now

Stranger: though she might’ve been wanting a little moral support, your priorities are just as incredibly valid as hers.

Harley: I work at my job right?

Stranger: I would assume so yes

Harley: So I was at work once, it was a busy day and we were

normal.

as normal as we could be ig we hadn’t argued in a while, i was trying to be supportive of her and help her out as much as i could even tho i was busy.

Stranger: is this somehow related to the thing you did?

Harley: yes, i’ll get there.

So i’m working and Ash walks in LIVID like i thought she was drunk or something. but it was 2pm and a busy fucking day

Stranger: oh

Harley: she breaks up with me in front of EVERYONE

Stranger: have you consulted with a therapist?

for her or for you?

Harley: ha ha

Stranger: I can tell your still pissed about it, and i’m sorry that happened and

im sorry if i don’t completely understand. she did it out of the blue?

Harley: well, im guessing she’s been thinking about it for a while.

but im so fucking embarrassed cuz i’ve grown a relationship with my coworkers and we’re all basically family.

and she fucking went and not only publicly break up with me, but tell me everything i’ve ever done wrong our whole relationship. mind you, in front of every fucking body

Stranger: jeez dude that’s terrible

hey are you alright?

Harley: no yeah sorry i’m back i just didn’t know how to word the rest of this.

Stranger: we can always come back to it later. you don’t have to say much now if you don’t feel like it

Harley: I honestly just cant stand how i act like this is the worst possible thing in the world when there are obviously a lot more important things than this

Stranger: you’re allowed to have feelings.

and

while it may seem like it’s nothing from the surface, your feelings are valid. comparing your problems to possibly someone else’s is not going to ease the pain anytime soon.

it is still a fucking problem no matter what it’s about, it hurts and it matters.

Harley: are you sure your not the therapist?

Stranger: i practically have a degree is psychology ive been way too many times

Harley: i cant exactly tell if this is a good thing.

Stranger: it’s a very good thing. Keeping shit in or rashing out is not the most healthy way to deal with stress

Harley: i’ll keep that in mind

…

Hey, i didnt mean to make it seem like i’m just using you do vent because that’s not what i was going to do i swear but i have class in a few hours so i should probably head to bed

stranger: of course i’ll talk to you later?

Harley: for sUre
