Dear L,

My name is Elisha. I am a hybrid and twenty-one years old. Right now, I am in a spot of bother and feeling very low and depressed. An event just happened and it has been dragging me down ever since. I know you are good with relationships and life troubles, so I am wondering if you can guide me down a path that does not involve hurting myself both mentally and physically.

Like many of the letters before me, it is about my boyfriend...who right now has an "ex" in front of it. His name is James and I have known him and dated him for about 9 months until we decided to share the same bed together. We like each others company and grew very fond of each other each year we spent together. Now and then, even towards the end, we have been going off and on, fighting here and there about small stuff, mostly emotional issues and setting boundaries. He fought and argued and ended up hurting each other to the point where we couldn't talk anymore. He decided to leave my apartment and stay with his friend after our last argument. We were both hurt and depressed. I wanted to try to patch things up with him after our last fight and called him, asking if he would like to come over to my place to hang out. I told him that I am very sorry about the fight and wanted to make amends. He agreed to come over so we can patch things up. We both decided that 9pm was a good time and it would be a day to see if we can remain as love ones or split up. Either way, we really needed to talk face to face and he full heartedly agree.

Being a somewhat horny canine, I wanted to do something romantic, something that we haven't done in a very long time. I wanted to be romantic with him. I am very shy and distrusting about my own body due to my "hyena" spots all over random places upon my body . He has never seen me totally naked before, so I wanted to open my body up all the way to him. Everything was set up and I fixed myself up, ready for his arrival. ...And I guess you can tell where this is going...

He never showed up. We both agreed on a time when he would make it to my place. I waited in my bathrobe for him for two hours, holding my cell phone and looking at it, expecting him to call. I texted him a few times, but after the second hour, he texted me back, saying " I just got back home. " So I texted him if he still wanted to come over, even if it was 11pm, but he never replied and from there on, never did. I felt hurt and completely cut off. He knew how much I wanted to see him again, and now my hopes are crushed and my plans ruined... I felt very depressed to the point where looking at the tub remains me of how much I cried and where I wanted to expose myself fully to him.

Dear L, why do you think he did that to me even when I wanted to make peace with him? I told him how sorry I was, but he completely flicked me off. I don’t know where is friend lives, so I cant go over and see him. If he wanted to see me as much as I wanted to, why didn't he texted more to me and only told me that he "just got home" when we planned this for days now? Is it his way of telling me to fuck-off? Is it another way to hurt me back so he would have the last laugh in the fight? I do admit he is now and then stubborn, but he is understandable. What should I do? Should I continue to contact him, or should I just delete his number form my phone.

... I miss him so much and I wanted to mate with him... I am still in love with him and it hurts me to no end just remembering his face and warm embrace...

Please help me before I do something rash...

- Elisha Whitfield

  I really like the thought that you put into your work, and that every piece has a little story to go with it. I think that really helps your work stand out, and it adds a nice depth to your characters. And your artwork is very nice, too.

  Of course that wasn't very thoughtful on his part, but isn't it a bit hasty to put him as an "ex" just because of one missed date?

  I can relate a lot to this one, except the part about waiting around in nothing but a bathrobe, its very similar to and old relationship.... but that's as much as I want to get into that.

  I wish I had better words that would be of solace, to you. I really do understand your pain and your shyness, as I have been there (to many times I’m afraid, but that is my cross to bear). It is, was his decision to not contact you, not yours. I feel there is a selfish reason behind it, but there is not much more you can do about it. Some day he may find the courage to tell you why. Look within yourself for the strength to move on, don’t let his inconsiderate actions poison you. Take heart that there is someone out there for you, be patience. Seek out a friend if you need someone to talk to, to vent to. Don’t try to carry this all on your own. You would be surprised at how many can look past the commonality and see the beauty of the individual. Go look in the mirror, and smile for me.

  This was so very good and touching... I would tell her to let him go and understand she is not to blame herself. Love yourself first and foremost. I want to hug her...

  Huh. Never thought about it before, but it'd make sense that "mixed breeds" would be a bit conscientious about their looks, especially if they have unusual fur patterns. Much as people preach about "not blending into the crowd" and such, we all still have this yearning to belong. Anything that makes us different or doesn't measure up to what "everyone knows" is beautiful can make us depressed and distant.

I do wonder if the porcupine anthros don't have some serious mental issues...

  heh, you've done a few of these, and they are quite interesting. does it seem to attract people wanting to write to L? or do more people think that they have to answer? or think they are real(ish) situations?

  erf... in those kind of situations, one would assume it is honestly a "i just want to hurt you" or "fuck you" response to just blow someone off... and to be honest, its how it always will come across, whether thats the intent or not... but given this kind of situation... it probably wouldn't have been his fault, at least not entirely... let me relate. A few years ago i was in a relationship that some of my friends didn't like...and from time to time they actually sabotaged me. for example, i was put into a situation where i spent time with a girl that liked me, in public, in what would have appeared to be a date scenario. me, being the naive twit i was, went along with it... oye did i nearly get my ass beat when my then-gf found out... granted she did overreact... another thing is that when i feel a little "distant" from someone and they want me to come over, i tend to say i'd love to come, and then i get sidetracked and never get around to going... and in his defense, "james" probably ended up saying something like "she wants me to come back and see her, she's sorry" and his friend in all likelihood somehow got him to stay, maybe he had a few drinks to make himself forget how much he hurt inside...if he loves her...

honestly, my response to this one would be, if you know he loves you... and you love him... get ahold of him, and get him to come over, somehow...and no more negativity... be open, be positive, be yourself... quite frankly, if he thinks you're beautiful, thats all that should matter, and you should learn to see what he sees... i know that one is hard, trust me... when you look in the mirror and see a monster, its really fucking hard to clean the slate to see an angel... but the truth is, on the rocks, there is only one way to go, and for things to be done "right" it has to be one for one, no friends, no bullshit... two lovers having an honest to god night together, talking about everything... which, your average guy, will find scary as hell... but a romantic environment and assurance of your love for him and how you want it to work, will inspire him... plus opening yourself up to him completely would show him your trust... honestly, if he loves you, he will be speechless to see you embrace your own body, and smile n embrace him when he tells you how beautiful you are... and remember... you are beautiful, no matter what... the sun shines from your eyes when you are in love, and you should learn to see the angel underneath...got it?

Alex, i really hope you keep this stuff up... i can't help but say again how amazed i am...
