I can't say I expected that response.

You don't know how glad this makes me. An honest reply.

It's not wrong to tear up, buddy.

Since we're telling our own stories, I'll give my own too.

Before playing Undertale.. I was broken. I'm that kid in school that just wants to help every single person.  But I never bothered asking for help. I knew I should've. I knew that this self-sheltering attitude of mine was a detriment but I just never did. Four years. I hadn't shed a tear. All my sadness was slowly turning into anger. I actually feared I might've turned this anger into something... Scary. So I started disconnecting myself from people I loved. Friends, family... People I loved. I always came home after school amd went straight to my room and just... Slept. Pounded my bed with my fist every 10 minutes. My school marks were becoming so bad I had to get an assistance class because I was so depressed, I couldn't even think straight. I battled demons inside me just to keep others from getting hurt.

But this class. It saved my life.

I was in the computer room, and the kid next to me was playing Undertale. I watched him play for a good bit. Hearing so much about the game, then seeing it... I had to get it.

And I did. And I finally cried.

It was sweet. It was bliss. It was like magic.

I felt connected. Hell, it's just a game. But I had never cried this much. And I loved it.

I'm a killer for music. So I listened more and more to the soundtracks to get the last bit out. I have to say I have never felt better. Never.

Listen kid. Or adult, or whatever. Take this from a 16 year old kid with a miserable life.

Cry. Don't hide your feelings. Don't hide ANYTHING. That hiding? That sheltering? It will deteriorate you. It will chip away at your heart and soul. You HAVE to let it out.

I love that damn goatkid as much as you do. But don't give yourself a reason to hate something. I can see that you hate that you love a character in a game like Asriel, but that's the point. You shouldn't hate it. Just... Love it. Embrace it, accept it. That holding in... It never brings any good.

I have a crush on this girl in my school. I used to hate that I love her. But you know... I realized that I really shouldn't. I should just embrace it. Use my love to compliment her hair or dress. Use my love to make her feel great about herself. Use my love to help her.

So. Use your love to help yourself. Because that's what I did. And I believe you can do it too.

As sappy as this, and everything I just wrote sounds... Just know that whoever you are... I believe in you.

That rainbow doesn't appear without the rain. So let out your rain, and let your rainbow settle in.
