The Midnight Texting Meme

It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's, or brooding alone in the alleys as one does, when your phone rings and dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this time? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Pick up your phone and find out!

If you're looking for excuses to extend this conversation
You can just talk about things normally.

you're right. Sorry it's been a long day. Week.

Because of the aforementioned drama?

yeeeaaaah

Mostly that yes. Also just general anxiety about being eternal

I see.

Well, if you want to talk about the immortality anxiety, I'm willing to hear you out. I have the time.
And I'm not so old I've forgotten what processing that was like.

It's all part of accepting it I guess.

I'm scared that things will stop mattering to me as I get older. Like what's the point then??? That kind of thing

That is true.

Some feelings do dull over time. It's hard not to grow jaded when you live long enough to see so much death and atrocity. Personally, I'm barely getting to the point where I can say I have outlived my mortal life and I'm starting to feel that I'm not as easily shocked or excited any longer.

But I think some things never stop mattering. I still love my sister as much as I did the day she was born. And I still miss my mother. And my friends. I still confess every week and I pray every night before bed.

You won't become a shadow of yourself or anything like that. You'll be you, but older.

that... Actually really helps.

I don't want to be jaded but I know it might happen and there's little control I'll have over what happens. I mean in that sense its just like humans age

It just goes on forever.

But it makes me feel a lot better-- I really want to remain myself as much as I can.

You'll always be you, no matter how getting old affects you. We're not monsters by virtue of being vampires. There are just some monstrous people who are vampires.

Anyway, if it helps, nothing is forever. Something will get us both someday. Even if it's the eventual heat death of the universe.

well I'm still really afraid of dying but the end of the world sounds ideal. Not getting my hopes up though.

Yeah, you're right. Sometimes I feel like I still hold prejudice against our kind and... I know I shouldn't. And I think I've gotten better at it. But I sometimes do think I'm a monster

a very well adapted and not scary one.

You've already died once. It won't be any more difficult than that.

You know, you're lucky, Simon. You don't have to shrink away from the sun or sleep in a light-tight box just in case.

If I can not feel like a monster, I know you'll get over your own prejudices about our people. Or at least yourself.

yeaaaah that was kind of crappy of me, i really should check my daylighter privilege. i dont have to hide and im grateful for that, i get to see my family for now.

sorry, i dont know what im thinking.

im sure things will look up... or at least get more normal. soon.

you're no monster, you're like the most composed guy i know.

You were afraid of me not so long ago, remember?
And I have lost composure, more than once.
But I appreciate it.

For what it's worth, you're one of the least monstrous people I know.

well... i was very ignorant and didn't know you much at all
also i was an asshole and did things that i shouldn't have done so you losing composure was 100% understandable

thank you, that does make me feel better about myself

B-)
