Um, first off. I wanted to say - I don't put up with you. I never have! You aren't someone i have to put up with - I mean yes sometimes you're a jerk and you can be ridiculous, and sometimes it can be hard to get along...but that's true of all friendships, Sollux, and we've known each other for sweeps.

Nothing is ever painless and easy and simple, and that's okay. Because when you care about people, working with them isn't a hardship, or at least it's one that means something.

And Karkat's right. You have lots of people who will help you. I'll always, always help you when you need it, even if you don't ask - you know that, right? I mean, regardless of...anything, you're one of my best friends. You're not alone.
