You can go. You can leave me here with no regard for the breakage you\u2019ve caused. I\u2019ll get through it.\u00a0Before you depart, you need to know that you are not as great at being horrible as you may think. There\u00a0will always be someone better. There will always be someone more chaotic and apathetic. There are\u00a0seven billion people in this world, and it is an infinite cycle. Even the most fragile and innocent can be\u00a0more destructive than the most bold and cruel. There is a match for everyone. There will always be\u00a0someone within another\u2019s lifetime that will have the strength, maybe their only strength, to counter the\u00a0biggest individual weakness of the strongest beings. There is a predator for every predator, a liar for\u00a0every liar, an evil for every evil. You will not walk through this life unscathed. One day, you\u2019ll come\u00a0across someone who you decide deserves your mercy, but you will not deserve theirs. You will run to\u00a0your victims utterly victimized and ask of them to save you. You will wallow and pity yourself. You will\u00a0feel that unbearable heat of regret, maybe not for me, but at least for yourself, and you will lay on the\u00a0bathroom floor with ashes in your hair, and something fowl on your breath. You will\u00a0ask God to guide your godless soul as you heave up the acids in your stomach because there is nothing\u00a0left in that pit. I don\u2019t believe in karma. I don\u2019t think we get hurt because we hurt someone else. It\u2019s just\u00a0the irony in being faulted, but either way, fate, karma, or coincidence, we are never the best or the\u00a0worst. There is no king or queen or god for every moral crime. There will always be someone better.\u00a0There will always be someone who can bring the most narcissistic to their knees. Everyone\u2019s mind gets\u00a0destroyed at some point, and you are not special. You will be forced to think the unthinkable; you will\u00a0have to sit in front your reflection and watch yourself deteriorate. I may never cross your mind, and I am\u00a0okay with that. Without doubt, you will suffer in the same ugly, shattered way that you have made me\u00a0suffer, and from what I\u2019ve tasted of punishment, there is no comparable starvation to the moment you\u00a0realize that you have been incinerated by your own fire. \u00a0So, leave me to burn because one day,\u00a0you will left to burn too.<\/div>\n
