It's creepy.
Almost like some weird
unseen guidance guided me...
To keep me from pain...
Or that I caused it in another
and this is punishment...
I don't know...
In 5th Grade (four years ago)
I went on this trip with the GT (gifted and talented)
class. We are relatively small.
And I felt this total connection with this one guy.
After the trip was over, he totally gushed
to a friend how much he liked meh.
So the friend relayed the message and I
turned him down on becoming a couple.
I liked him, but I was scared and turned him down
without thinking.
Now, four years later, at different schools,
He is now bedridden with cancer at a
St. Jude medical center.
I feel terrible almost as if it's my fault.
And I know it wasn't so I don't need that
talk, but it's the fact that you just never
know how those things pop up.
It's upsetting.
I really liked him,
and screwing up my chances has always
been a huge regret...and then I go and
turn him down and he gets cancer not long
afterward.
What makes me feel even worse is how
I've moved on to other people, (aka the guy
I fancy that is written about in the poem thread).
I'm not religious, but it's almost like I've been sheilded
from being hurt back then because it was a tender
time in my life. I wanted to accept, but almost involuntarily
I spurt out no.
It's weird.
The mind said one thing the mouth said another.
Maybe I just had the subconscious foresight.
I don't know.
But I just had to tell somebody about this, because
ole bff doesn't call until, well about an hour and a half.

It's okay, it's not your fault.
I feel like that many times, but I just have to tell myself, it's not my fault.
Then I still try to do something to make it up to them.
It makes me feel better.

Whenever my boyfriend Matt is having a bad day, I always feel like it's my fault and I feel bad, but I know it never is.. I just want him to feel better, ya know? I feel sad because I never know what to do to cheer him up D: I try and try but he doesn't cheer up and it eventually turns out that all I had to do was something dumb and simple xD

Yes, I have felt like that.... too the point that I had to report him. lol
I'll try to shorten the long story (I'm pretty sure I told you guys this already)....
I have a stalker that is overly obsessed with me...
one day, decided to write a death note saying he was going to commit suicide.
I reported him to the Sp. Ed (Special Education).
I felt that It was my fault and that I haven't help him enough...I thought, because all my friends at school said I give "great" advice, I thought that giving him advice would help him...but didn't. He is very sick...he has mental problems and as well loves violence and one day dreams of being a killer when he grows up, kill every one and marry me. (<---what he said to me)
He is still currently stalking me.

Its not your fault, things happen when you least expect it.

Awww. sad Don't feel bad, Volly, it certainly has nothing to do with you. You can't change the past or anything, so there's no use in regreting anything, either. That's a big problem my dad has. He's always talking about things he wishes he'd done, and then when he gets started he'll be angry the rest of the day, and just sulk, or get really mad at the littlest things. It upsets me.

And as for your mind saying one thing and your mouth saying another, that's a big problem I have. It seems like it happens a lot when really I want to say yes more then anything I immediately say no, out of fear, or panic or... something.

But you shouldn't feel bad. There's no way you could have caused him getting cancer. No way at all.

It's gonna be okay, Volly ;-; This has nothing to do with you. You are in no way at fault for what happened Dx

»I know you know that it's not your fault. Because it's not. You can't keep these things from happening. I went out with a guy, and about two months later I moved, and we kept in touch via MSN. About a year after our relationship [Sept. 14, 2005... wait... it was our one-year], he killed himself. I always think that if I wouldn't have moved away he would still be alive, and that it's my fault his parents were drunks and abusive. But it's not my fault his mother decided to marry an alcoholic. To this day, it still feels like it's my fault and that I could have done something to prevent it. I always offered to have him talk about it to me, but he never wanted to talk, and one day, I got an email from his brother, and he told me that Tyler [my boyfriend] had killed himself. Then Jason [his brother] ended up killing himself a month exactly [Oct. 14, 2005]. I miss them terribly, and I feel awful.

I wish I was queer so I could get chicks.

Aww! Volly! *huggles* It's not your fault at all. :C That sounds so horrible.

Sometimes things happen for a reason. Like your mind and mouth, I can say from experience. Of course, sometimes things don't work out for the best, they'll just happen for a reason. Which makes things sad. D: :C *huggles*

@Rexxie- That's so horrible! *huggles* It's not your fault. You can't control whether your parents decide to move or not. :C I'm really sorry about that. Makes me cry when I hear about this kind of stuff. *cries*

Both of you, go make yourselves some cupcakes. They make you feel better. With extra frosting/toppings/whatever you like on cake. 'Kay? c:

It's definitely not your fault, Volly.
Things like that happen all the time, and, sadly, in situations with sickness, nothing you could have done differently could have changed it.

Maybe you should go and pay him a visit in the hospital and see how he is doing? That might make you feel better.

And I can completely relate.
My ex always used to get kicked out of his house all the time by his mother, and once he had to sleep outside for awhile, I guess.
And I always thought it was my fault, because I could have asked him to come over on that day, so he could have spared himself his mother.
You know?

Shin up Volly dahling.
Twasn't your fault at all,

So you know what you should do?
You should watch some funny movies and eat cake.
