Drabble about a character in a book i was writing. i stopped writing it cuz one of the characters reallllly annoyed me. no matter what i wrote for her she ended up pissing me off. i swear she had a mind of her own. a very annoying one. anyways, i deleted the whole story to get away from her, but there was one character that i actually liked. i kinda regreted deleting her afterwards. this drabble is about that character (not the annoying one).
She had distanced herself from people. All people. She now knew, beyond a doubt, that she could survive on her own. She didn't need anyone to make her happy. To comfort her. Amuse her. Protect her. And the thought was liberating.
The heartbreakingly depressing realization was that, just as she needed no one, no one needed her. She could disappear, and no one would notice. No one would feel the difference in their own lives. There would be no empty void to fill. No one to miss her.
Maybe, being entirely independent, wasn't all it was cut out to be.

ReplyDeletemeh. i really don't like drabbles as much as i used to. i still think they're fun to do, but i dunno the results for me are better with length.
