maybe i'm just nice, maybe i'm (e)stupid

i know erik, i get called both, all the time:)
he patted my head and said i know that if we keep on, doing/being good, working hard, something good will come our way. we are kindred like that. childlike natures too. i listen to him a lot. his torment over chacha and his weird situation at home. how did i come to care about him? i have learned a lot from him, truly. i value him as a person, as a friend, a close one.
