Had a rather depressing dream. How would you feel if the very dream girls you have met and known (and connected to all levels, like best friends; especially when reality gave you none), along with a crew/clan of dream friends and such (to literally hundreds of them) were to suddenly announce their resignation from being around you (let's say, you were their captain/patriarch/Alpha friend), and decided to part ways; from friends to lovers, all of them, all of a sudden, decide they no longer respect you, no longer love you, and just decide to up and leave, but not without saying their goodbyes first? At least, they didn't kick me on the ground like most others do/would(n't hesitate to).
A lingering pain in my chest, and some rather persistent dark rings under my eyes, especially after that dream, was in the process of disappearing after witnessing it. In a sense, it felt like the end of an era for me (and one these people in the dreams agreed upon ending), and a significant one while at it (half my life, gone, in a blink); like accepting my fate in going to Hell, and belonging there. I just hope it was a bad nightmare of the ultimate abandonment. If it holds any water then, then what can be done to me that life hasn't already tossed my way?
In all honesty, I don't like where this path leads; and in all preference, I reject that reality, and substitute my own. I'm through with being punished for being happy; especially after being nothing but good/benevolent to people (may be a tad biased, but still. Close enough.).
EDIT:
I hope it was a test of character; because even though I suffered such an unjust and harsh punishment for being myself and/or happy, I still accepted my fate of total abandonment without struggle. Then again, I've been accustomed to this since birth; or at least, my first days of school. Given the general scope of recent events, I feel like my faith has been tested on/from all angles, time and again (quite frequently, actually), like maintaining/checking a vehicle before selling it as a used car. I think God's been trying to call BS on me, probably due to my calling Him out so much, and He's pissed off that I keep passing His tests with flying colors. Considering I feel like nothing else is left to lose (What I take personal value towards), I say bring it on. I can take on more abuse; I'm used to it. A sympathy for the Devil didn't come from nowhere, after all. I mean, isn't that a test of ultimate forgiveness that more, especially religious, people fail than you'd think? On that note, being mistaken, by name alone, as a devil-child, despite the name actually meaning Caretaker, your whole existence doesn't help.
EDIT EDIT:
To think again about it with a fresher mind, maybe it's me, but they did seem to act extraordinarily out of character. It was like, they were not themselves. Courteous their goodbyes were, this was completely out of left field, and nobody, despite their unique traits, had the sense they usually use. It was like they were possessed, or affected by something, or were protecting me from something I probably could not handle, and to protect me, they had to hate me; or outright refuse me. Despite being dream characters, and having known them via dreams as much as I have, it's weird, but I have faith that this odd behavior is to be trusted as something part of a greater plan. I mean, in the sudden depression, and sudden relief after said dream, it got me thinking. I mean, what if the disconnect that was done was part of doing what would equal hitting a reset button on me (or a psycho-defibrillation)? Like resetting a Wi-Fi, Disconnect for a few seconds, plug it back in, and wait for it to cold boot. With a flushing of the RAM or some such, everything's back in order. Like when a computer acts up, restart after letting it cool down for a bit, completely shut off (provided it was a software issue; which in a dream-sense, would make sense). I mean, after years of being gone from mind, and being back only to leave again? That's a hell of an uncharacteristic dick move for them to pull. Something has to be up in that dream world. Might have to go Psychonauts on this, and investigate. Something didn't seem right about it; too uncanny. I mean, if something horror movie-ish is going on with that realm, at least I have the genre savviness to recognize a problem, and start investigating it, and with a calmer and more rational mindset. If it's something self-made, then what kind of beast developed this time?
