not pity .
it's mostly for myself .
* ( A singular puff . )
my roommate keeps telling me to be kinder to myself . you uh . aren't me exactly . but it's a start .
. . . not a big fan of myself .
* ( She's setting a pipe into her mouth and lighting . . . whatever was in there with a match . )
y . y . you don't deserve that frankly . i'm uh . tryin' t'be better about that .
because you're like me .
* ( The frosted over glasses clear up for only a moment , purple iris' glaring at the other just long enough for the message to get across . )
s . s . s . someone who keeps going despite what they know . what they've been through .
