[bbs] first person to suggest a self-help book gets defenestrated

[espio]

[Considering how happy Espio has been lately, his recent moping certainly seems quite a dramatic contrast... and after the weekend, it has only become worse. Moreso now because he's noticed it, which made him think, which in turn made him think of other things to be unhappy about.

The obvious solution might have been to tackle the cause... but unfortunately, despite what it might look like to a few people, the cause just isn't one isolated thing, and the only ways he can see to tackle the issues he can tackle look pretty hopeless.]

So what do you do when doing and/or thinking something is ridiculously bad for you and by extension the people around you, but no matter what you do to distract yourself and put your focus on something else, you can't help yourself? Even though all the logic and reasonable thinking you possess says you're wrong and stupid.

I don't mean anything specific, more a collection of things. They don't even make sense, so don't ask. General summary is: I'm an idiot.

You're the same age I am...?

I don't know what all happened, but moping usually makes it worse.

[espio]

Yup.

And don't you think I know that? Knowing it doesn't make things stop.

So come do something with me. We're brothers, brothers don't stand back and watch those they care about fall apart. I don't know you well yet, but I want too. You're family Espio. And family is the most important thing around.

[espio]

I know. But I don't feel up to much of anything right now.

Well, What room are you in? Maybe I can come over there and teach you a few card games or something?
