John Legend was at the Fresno State game because his nephew plays for Minnesota.

that means I legally met him because we were near each other.

 

Big blue for once in my life I felt close to you

 

Todd from Orlando >>>>

 

@Dirty Sanchez don’t just like this, respond to it you coward

 

There's a place in Minnesota that makes a tequila old fashioned and it rules.

 

There’s no white claws near me so I’m high

 

This store made me super against sugar, so no donuts.

 

I went to my favorite taco spot after the game and the burrito and tacos ordered just hit so perfectly I’m happy.

 

Chipotle?

 

Can I vent to you guys about something serious that I don’t really know how to feel about right now.

 

Of course

 

PVRIS really good

 

We went to Arinell Pizza again. Fucking delicious. Hoping bobs tomorrow.

 

Last night I had a friend who I’ve grown apart from this year have, essentially, a meltdown because I didn’t invite him along for plans I’d already made with friends who are not a fan of him because of his personality. We had no issues, he just lives about 2 hours away in CT and I rarely have heard from. He contacted me via texts and calls all night, but I was already out and drunk and got a bit annoyed by it. He got mad and said essentially I wouldn’t hear from him anymore along with other stuff.

I waited to respond until today when I was sober, and I wrote out what I thought was a lengthy, thoughtful and caring response about how he needs help and has needed it for so long but has too much pride to admit it. I tried to relate by saying I speak to a therapist myself and that admitting you need help is the hardest part.

It did not go well. He made disparaging remarks about the two women I was out with, then talked a bit of shit to me that got to me and I responded accordingly which I regret.

I contacted a mutual friend of ours, somebody I’m closer with but knew he’d hit up regarding our argument. Not only did he do what I thought, he made suicidal comments. Actually said to our mutual friend he was contemplating getting back to his apt and “ending it all.” It then took a much darker turn when he stated that “his list was only getting bigger now” and that “people don’t know what he’s capable of when he’s upset.”

.....those are verbatim quotes. I was awestruck and it made me so scared and anxious I actually went home early, and called the police department where he lives and reported him. This friend has money, and he has guns. A lot of them. I also contacted his mother. The police said without me knowing his address all they can do is try to ping the location of his cell which I provided the number to. I don’t know his address because he moved since I last visited him. On top of that, his mother essentially blew off what I said because she lives in fantasy land where her son could never be that guy. Both of his parents spoon fed him his whole life and do nothing to help him change.

I’ve heard nothing back from anyone. Not the police, not his mother, no one. I don’t know what else I can do. This was my last message to him and he didn’t respond.

 

Guess I close out the night by helping some homeless person off the bart tracks lol. They jumped down to grab something and didn’t display much urgency to get back off. Basically just grabbed their hand and dragged them back onto the waiting area.

 

Like I’m actually fearful for myself, himself, his girlfriend, and he randomly shows up back here at home whenever he wants. It feels like neither parties I reported it to did anything or took me seriously.

 

@currytheword Fuck, that’s scary stuff. Well done reaching out and being there despite the angry responses. I really hope he gets some help but you just can’t push that, you know? Therapy won’t be effective unless you’re genuinely ready to have a lot of self reflection and make real changes, and find the right therapist! It takes time and it can’t be half-assed. I hope you’re alright!

 

His personality and starch denial of his issues has me believing he’s reached a breaking point. He hates his life, feels bored and uninteresting. He’s vented to me about his unhappiness many times and I generally have always told him the same advice, but it goes nowhere with him. It’s clear to me his parents, who are divorced and won’t speak, are not going to do anything about this. It feels like a waiting game for something bad to happen and I’m genuinely having trouble falling asleep in fear of waking up to a horror story on my phone.

I have never in my life seen someone make remarks like he did, and I can’t believe there isn’t anything else being done right now.

 

I woke up sad as usual today, didn’t expect that’d I have my daughter by the end of it but here I am. Beyond happy that I’ve seen her again, it blows my mind that she’s talking now. I miss out out on so much.

 

Can you kidnap her?

But on a more serious note, I’m really sorry. I can’t imagine how much it must suck.

 

Nah, her mother basically relented and contacted me this afternoon. It was a huge shock, I’m still in awe
