You're an idiot. That's not what I said. That's not what I meant. I identified with Katniss through my own self-hatred because I killed people and I still see their faces when I'm on the range, when I'm in my bed, trying to sleep. I think about them, and their families, and they were trying to kill me, so maybe it was okay? Except I see them and I'm sorry I killed them.

She never wanted to kill anyone, and I got that. She just wanted to save someone, and I got that. And at the end, when the person she loved more than anyone was dead, she just wanted to find peace where she could, and I got that.

I get irrationally angry, because I feel like people are telling me that I should keep fighting when I'm tired and don't want to and never really did want to kill anyone. That I'm wrong for wanting peace and quiet and a family to love me. Notice I said irrational, and I know I'm being so.

Fuck you for thinking I'm arrogant and making assumptions, you asshole. I know other people identify with the character for other reasons, and I know I'm fucked up. Don't you ever think you know a damn thing about me and my thoughts.

Dude just go get help and focus on yourself.

Re: Secret Maker

I'm not a dude. And I've had therapy. Here's the thing though: Therapy doesn't change what I did. It doesn't make me any less an airman, and it doesn't magically bring people back to life.

Dead is dead. The people I killed and the people I lost are dead. They will never come back. Therapy told me that, but it won't make me feel better about any of it, so go to hell. I just want to believe that one day, I'm going to be okay, and I'm going to have a normal life.

I meant Dude in a gender neutral way.

No, therapy is not going to change your past or the dead. But it's going to help you to be okay and have the normal life you want. It's okay to not do it alone, you don't have to be Katniss. You can get some help and try hard and with time hopefully be okay.

I'm pretty sure OP is doing this. You sound pretty condescending here. :/

Re: Secret Maker

[(Anonymous)]

Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like they did, but are not right now.

Re: Secret Maker

[(Anonymous)]

Unless you've experienced what the OP has, don't offer advice. You can't know. And even if you did have her experiences? Everyone is different. You sound like you're lecturing her On The Right Thing To Do.

Re: Secret Maker

[(Anonymous)]

Sigh, and you can't know my life experiences. The whole point of advice is it is advice given from one person to another. I don't really careif you think it sounds like lecturing, it's not for you. I can't be bothered fluffing up my paragraphs with needless etiquette to make my advice sound socially acceptable.

OP is in a bad place, OP I hope you can get the help you need. Enough so that little things like epilogues don't needlessly upset you and you can just enjoy it

Re: Secret Maker

[(Anonymous)]

and yet a few comments down, someone else chimed in with how the op can and should do what they want to deal.

it's advice, and is it offered from someone who has experienced what the op has?

if not, they too should not offer advice. they shouldn't lecture her On The Right Thing To do.

it just happens in this case, the op was actually supporting her.

but if your comment applies to someone who doesn't know what the op is going through, it applies to all, whether they agree or not.

so, basically, GO FUCK YOURSELF.

If Katniss' epilogue helps you to have hope of a normal life, you claim it anyway you want. Fuck the people on this thread who are attacking you for not being sensitive enough to THEIR feelings to include them in how you're feeling.

Your secret is about YOU, not THEM. You go on, feel what you feel, hang on in the ways that you can, find what peace you can. I'm not religious, but I will be praying in my own way for you to find some. *hugs*
