CG: OKAY, HERE'S THE THING, AND TRUST ME I REALIZE THAT IT'S INSANELY AWKWARD TO JUST BRING THIS UP OUT OF NOWHERE BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT A LOT OF STUFF AND I REALIZED THIS, AND I HAD TO SAY IT.
CG: YOU'RE NOT PERFECT.
CG: OH SHIT THAT LOOKS REALLY AWFUL SITTING THERE LIKE THAT.
GC: H3LLO TO YOU TOO K4RK4T :T

CG: THIS FEELS EVEN MORE AWKWARD KNOWING THAT YOU'RE THERE WATCHING ME TRY TO TYPE THIS OUT.
CG: OKAY, SO I KNOW I'VE BEEN KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WEIRD ABOUT THINGS.
CG: I PUT YOU UP ON A PEDESTAL, AND I WASN'T GIVING YOU SPACE, AND TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS YOU WERE TOTALLY ABLE TO HANDLE, AND DO I REALLY HAVE TO KEEP LISTING THINGS? BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE AN ABSOLUTE SHITHEAD AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

GC: M3?
CG: AND YOU LOVE TO PLAY THE BLIND GIRL CARD JUST TO DERAIL OTHER PEOPLE, AND YOU ACT ALL SURPRISED WHEN THEY TRY TO CALL YOU OUT ON YOUR BULLSHIT.
CG: YOU STEAL MY FOOD WHEN I'M NOT WATCHING, YOU DRAW ALL OVER MY WALLS, AND YOU LEAVE YOUR CRAP ALL OVER MY HIVE AND IGNORE ME WHEN I TELL YOU TO PUT IT AWAY.
CG: YOU PLAY MIND GAMES WITH EVERYONE WHETHER THEY WANT TO PLAY OR NOT, AND WHEN YOU FORGET TO PAY ATTENTION, YOU TREAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE TOYS.
CG: WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT I REALIZED YOU AREN'T PERFECT AND I SHOULD STOP TREATING YOU LIKE YOU ARE.
CG: BUT ALSO YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT PUTTING UP WITH AN ASSHOLE WHO'S NOT EMOTIONALLY MATURE ENOUGH TO HANDLE AN ADULT RELATIONSHIP, SO THERE'S THAT.
