Are you going to be available at any other time today or tonight? 

May 913:19+0:05
Marysue Curtis
I’m not sure. I wanted to do a lot today but I’m a little deflated. 
Joselyn wanted to have lunch and I kind of feel like driving to NB anyways so I might do that later. I can talk on the drive there or while I’m getting ready. Might do some packing while I’m staying home. Just let me know when you’re free. 

May 913:25+0:37
jonathan breaux
Mm.

I'm in the same mood I think, but I also think we've covered enough of the deflating topics for today and I was just hoping that you might be open to something a little kinder to both of us. Catching up or watching a show or something. 

I get it if you aren't interested, but I'd prefer to open a lighter touchpoint today so we aren't both just left with the emptiness.

I'll let you know when I'm back at my apartment to see how you're feeling.

Marysue Curtis
Idk I feel like we keep putting it off and going nowhere. Let’s make it a priority this week. I might be a little crabby but hold me accountable too I know I can say that and then forget. 

What did you do today? 

May 914:08+0:12
jonathan breaux
I went to support Corbin's first farmer's market stall so I'm at Republic Square with Daphyne. We're about to close out and go home though. Are you going to NB or no?

May 914:20+0:10
Marysue Curtis
Dude that’s so crazy cause that’s what I was going to do lol 

May 914:30+0:10
jonathan breaux
Just because you feel like we're going nowhere doesn't mean it's true. 

You should have! I'm so proud of him. I think he's living a life really close to what I had imagined for myself. I cried a little when buying my little Stardew Valley veggies and he and Zuleyma looked so happy.

May 914:41+0:30
Marysue Curtis
I’m really glad you went. I was going to message you to say you should go but I guess I didn’t even have to. I’ll try to go next weekend. 
Did you get any pictures? 
May 915:11+0:10
jonathan breaux
No, no pictures unfortunately but it's funny you said that because Daphyne and I just got back to our cars and on the way we got caught in this thunderstorm and I just told her I wished I could capture and preserve and share memories without needing to take pictures, because I'm not good at taking them or being in them. But I'll cherish the moment, and remember the feeling.

It's so beautiful downtown, I'm so happy it rained. 

Heading back to my apartment now. You can call me any time if you want to, now or later. Or not at all, if you so choose. I won't be offended, just letting you know I'm available for the rest of today and tonight.

Marysue Curtis
Be super careful! This wind is insane. I couldn’t even open my back door 

😯J

jonathan breaux
That's wild, Daphyne sent me a picture from her place and there's no clouds anywhere in the sky, it's all blue and sunshine - while I was driving through an actual thunderstorm that actually had pretty much zero wind to it at all, everything was coming straight down. My place is a mix of overcast and glowy but no wind or rain. 

I'm gonna shower. Did you say whether you made up your mind about going to New Braunfels or not?

May 916:32+0:17
Marysue Curtis
Nah I don’t think I’m going. Joselyn was actually going to drive up here but then she started feeling sick so she’s staying in 

May 916:49+1:27
jonathan breaux
Mm... I am glad that you made up with them, I think. I wish I had that opportunity, but maybe it's for the best that I didn't. 

Blahhh blah blah yap yap yap 


You're still with Chai? What are y'all up to? Packing/cleaning or enjoying a lazy afternoon for now?

May 918:17+0:54
Marysue Curtis
Maybe one day you will ( if you want to) I’m still with chai. I think she’s bored with me though. I’ve just been lazy today but I need to get myself together to do something with chai 

May 919:11+0:58
jonathan breaux
I don't know. Maybe if we were all still kids. I poured so much unconditional love into that entire friend group for so many years, but I really ever only received as much as was convenient - as much as was left over. I think even if I wanted to reconnect, and they wanted to reconnect, the situation with you and them, and you and keith, is too humiliating - too degrading for me to come crawling back willing to pretend I don't understand exactly how little I mattered to them. That's partially why I'm trying so hard to find a place you're willing to open for me to hold in your life. You're the only one that I know, that I believe that I know, that did genuinely love me as an equal at some point. You haven't for a long time, but you did once upon a time choose me even when it wasn't convenient or easy. None of them ever did, and it only got worse as time went on. I think even if any of them wanted to open their lives to me again, they would only let me in as a distant visitor that never put them at risk of having to think about how they treated me, or about how loudly they declared their loyalty to keith as an actual member of the group - how acting with fairness or respect to me was never even a consideration worth pausing to process. 

Your continued loyalty to and preference for keith is an insult that would make reconnection with any of them impossibly unlikely. keith also fucked Lauren while Kevin was trying to marry her, and that's why Kevin and keith have almost never been in the same room for more than a decade now. It changed the shape of everyone's friendship in a way you didn't get to see because you weren't around to know what it was like before that happened. 

Your question about whether I would be willing to consider a shape of life in which you got to keep your relationship with keith was an insanely degrading ask. But you making a genuinely good faith to come to therapy with me in order for both of us to find a healthy way to move on with our lives - with or without each other - is the only situation in which I would be willing to consider nearly any condition you required.

I wish you would ask me to describe the pain and indignity and genuine torment your relationship with and preference for that disgusting worm of a human being has caused and continues to cause me. That would show me that you do genuinely care beyond the dismissiveness of "I know it's a shitty situation and I said I was sorry".

Daphyne is a good friend. Corbin is a good friend. Even Zuleyma has shown me so much genuine love, even at a heavy emotional cost to herself. I always knew with the old friend group that my love for them would far outlast theirs for me, we even talked about it almost 20 years ago. I don't think I'll ever be willing to accept a disposable friendship again, even if it means a deeply lonely and isolated life. Because I know that the people who love me now will always love me. I know that they will be the ones who will cross the world at any cost to make sure I have a coin to give the psychopomp when it's my time to return to that river.

Also until you've finished paying off the truck keith isn't allowed to ride in it or touch it in any way. Not to load cargo, not to grab something from the cabin, nothing. Unless you hit him with it or something, that would be fine. I bought that vehicle for my family. To keep the love of my life and our brood and our home safe and to carry us everywhere we were dreaming of going. You could lie to me, I'd probably never know. But it would be a vile insult to add to my existing injuries and I don't believe that you would do that intentionally.

BUT LIKE I SAID BLAH BLAH BLAH boo hoo life is so hard and unfair somebody call the wahmbulance

Despite the intimate nature of all that rambling up  there I'm really not in a bad mood. Some things in life are tough, but it really is okay to acknowledge that and talk about that without having to blow up our break down to do so. And I know you have a distorted vision of who I am because you absolutely refuse to do the work of finding out, but I'm really not the thing you're afraid of.

I'm trying to get my head in the game for cleaning and packing. But mmmmeeeeerrrrrrpppp I don't wanna
But I do. 
But I don't. 

Why do you think she's bored? Want to try to teach her a new trick or command or something? I can help! Without being there obviously. 

Are you bored? Ramping up? Winding down? I'm still available if you want to chat about work or life or yapology in general 

Or we can put a show on and just like do laundry or something while watching 

Merp

jonathan breaux
Idek if you actually read anything that I write to you longer than like five lines so how do you prefer that I re-engage you, do you want me to just like... not? Or to send you a non sequitur or something cause if you just don't want to talk to me that's whatever but we should have some kind of system in place that lets me know if that's the case or if it's safe to keep pinging you cause 

I mean I'm bored so I'm trying to chat and idk if you're being like aloof or deliberately silent or if you're just sleeping or I if you intend to deliberately not reply or what

I'm gonna assume you just fell asleep so you don't care if I keep writing

So that's me here just uhhh 

Writing again

Mmm this is all very cool and normal and grown up

Loveeeeee

Love it

Hope you are having a good snooze

Let me know where your head is at when you wake up so I can know whether I should give up on you for the night or if you're coming back or like, anything at all

May 921:07+0:09
Marysue Curtis
No I know. It was a dumb thing to say in hindsight. I know you always tried with that group and didn’t get the same back. I completely understand. 

Ummm im just chilling with chai rn. Thinking about what to do for food 

May 921:16+0:09
jonathan breaux
Hey, I don't mean this to be insulting but that response... that really stunned me. I've been spinning my wheels thinking about how to do damage control if you turned out to be upset and what you said was really, like, shut up but it made me tear up.

Not to be gay about it but thank you, genuinely. Those words were really kind and they removed a small weight on my heart that's been there for a long time, a weight that doesn't have anything to do with you and me and our weird issues. I don't feel seen or heard very often so I appreciate that your honest response was validating and compassionate.

I'm watering and pruning my flowers and trying to get into cleaning, I think I'm gonna be in for a long night but I'll take it easy tomorrow. I sent Ma a really pretty yellow Ranunculus-based arrangement with some truffles and she and I had a nice conversation today. I won't be able to tell her myself but I hope your mother feels enough love tomorrow to cover the both of us, and I'm sure she will. I hope she's healthy and well. 

Are you cooking or ordering? 

Sweet Chai 😭 I love her

Marysue Curtis
Im down to go eat somewhere. Im starving 

May 921:30+0:03
jonathan breaux
The way you said that sounded like you meant you're down to join me for food somewhere but I assume you just meant that you're not cooking or ordering right

May 921:33+0:02
Marysue Curtis
No like I’m down to go somewhere if you’re also hungry. But they have to have a patio for chai to come and I kinda don’t like bar food I want like sushi but I don’t know of anywhere nearby that has a patio 

May 921:36+0:01
jonathan breaux
Oh okay, I am down actually. Uchi is open late but maybe a bit pricey and I don't think they have a patio. I'd have said to come get hotpot on Brodie Lane but also no patio. Uhhh let me look 

Tell me if you find something first

May 921:37+0:02
Marysue Curtis
I must bring chai and I’m in jeans and a tshirt so not too fancy 

May 921:39+0:02
jonathan breaux
Can you call Umi sushi to see if they have a patio

May 921:42+0:02
Marysue Curtis
They don’t. I think sushi is going to be a bust when it comes to patio unfortunately 

May 921:45+0:01
jonathan breaux
Hmm... If you really want sushi I can pick up a to go order and we can go eat by the pool or something. But otherwise yeah most of those kitchens close at 10 too

May 921:46+0:01
Marysue Curtis
No no I want to take chai out it doesn’t have to be sushi 

👍J

Ugh fast friend closes way too early. They hate business 

May 921:50+0:02
jonathan breaux
Actually insane for a place like that to close so early.

Little darlin/BJs? I'm looking up little darlin cause BJs is kind of cheeks

May 921:52+0:02
Marysue Curtis
I’m between little darling or little Woodrow’s or hear me out, Texas Roadhouse lol 

May 921:55+0:01
Marysue Curtis
Or I’m willing to travel a little bit further for more wimsey like hotpot if they have a patio 

May 921:57+0:05
jonathan breaux
Texas Roadhouse 😅 I don't remember the last time I've been to any of those so, elección de mamí

Let me look one more minute for a patio

May 922:02+0:01
jonathan breaux

jonathan breaux
Open spot next to me

May 1004:50+7:25
jonathan breaux
I feel like I would be lowkey proud of my child for lying to me for the first time. Cause like... that's a milestone. Right? A psychological milestone kind of like baby's first steps are a physiological milestone. 

Did you read both of those words? Or did you read the first one and fill in the second? 

I got too many questions and no answers how do people live like this

May 1012:16+0:06
Marysue Curtis
Huhhh? I don’t understand this message 

May 1012:22+0:06
jonathan breaux
Damn I forgot about that

it wasn't a riddle or anything I was just wondering if you read those words right the first time cause I'm the one who typed them out and I still read them back wrong 

Psychological 
Physiological 

Or was the part you didn't understand like the core concept of the message

About being proud


Also Happy Mother's Day to my two favorite mothers I hope you both enjoy the little harvest

Thank you! I had the cookie last night. So far so good :) also, you cook the qual eggs right? 

May 1012:32+1:06
jonathan breaux
Yayy, yeah that that cookie was fire I'm glad you liked it 😊 

I cooked them, I think dogs can technically eat them raw but idk they're unpasteurized

I tried them on a slice of that sourdough toasted with a little salted butter 🧈 

May 1013:39+0:02
Marysue Curtis
Idk why this isn’t sending here’s a pic 

May 1013:41+4:33
jonathan breaux
YUM 



May 1018:15+4:41
jonathan breaux
Did she like it?

Also hey I don't know how busy you are but PMW is watching a video on stream right now that I had comfortably and completely forgotten about and now that I've had to be unfortunately reminded of its existence I'm spreading it like the disease it is, directly to you. This is probably something we've both seen a million years ago but if it has to exist in my brain again today then it really should also exist in yours as well.

Please share my misery with me. You will, just as much as I do, absolutely hate this:


What a terrible day to have the internet

Marysue Curtis
Honestly, I couldn’t tell. She’s such a brat nothing seems to enthuse her. This post came across my timeline and it knocked me out of my seat. I felt targeted 

😂J
May 1022:59+10:11
jonathan breaux
She gets it from her mama 🥲

Also L O L 

He doesn't know what he's asking for brother just run that's not what you need 😭

Good morning big dawg happy Monday hope you have a really chill work week so you don't have to stress so much about your move.

You requested that I push to help you keep yourself accountable for handling srs bsns so I suppose today would be a good day to make a game plan.

I think it might be easier for both of us to stick to if we plan to take more time than usual so that we can be more intentional in holding open that larger window. Maybe an hour to ninety minutes? What days/times do you think are most likely going to work best for you?

May 1119:00
jonathan breaux
Mer mer mer "keep me accountable" she says "I need to commit" she says "don't let me forget" she says 😩😩😩
