 I didn't forget your birthday.
 
 I forgot to message you *on* your birthday, but I texted you two days before
 and two days after asking about it.
 
 I asked to plan something to celebrate, you didn't want to.
 
 I made you a gift and everything, that I never got to give you.
 
 *I didn't forget your birthday*, you forgot your friend.

 I miss you. I hope you're doing well.

 if you don't like me anymore, and then you hide yourself from me instead of
 telling me, I'm going to spend the rest of my life wondering if you're still
 alive.
 
 It's a curse you bestow upon me, and it's worse than saying goodbye.

 you opened up about your feelings so I started telling you mine. And

 today I had someone ask me for an apology. They've asked several times before,   │
 and each time I've only been able to give them a half-apology - I apologized     │
 for being persistent, but not for being impulsive, and that wasn't good enough.  │
 I can't help being impulsive! I'm adventurous! I crave excitement and joy!       │
 But I'm sorry that I pushed him too hard. I'm sorry I hurt him. And...           │
 apparently that's not good enough. He doesn't want me in his life, he can't      │
 fucking let it go. And he calls me selfish. Says I don't respect him, based on   │
 one night out of 5 years where I tried too hard to get him to enjoy life.        │
 I'm sorry I can't fix your depression, guy, but like, at least I tried. You      │
 could have at least tried the things I suggested. You could have at least        │
 tried to follow my advice.                                                       │
