"Collar or not, I lead my own life..."

A venting picture drawn for me by  kumachan, in symbol of how lost I've been feeling as of late.

It's difficult, being an INFJ, and having Aspergers, you always want companionship, but at the same time, it's something you have to be rather guarded of... I live my life knowing that I may never find someone emotionally compatible with me, and instead build a strong circle of close friends and acquaintances around me that I can relate to. But when one of them goes missing for a lengthened period of time (Like Riuku) or suddenly grows incredibly distant (I.E. Raith), it slowly begins to tear you up inside.

A collar for me is a symbol of affection and remembrance, it's an incredibly sentimental thing, but when that collar is removed, it's a sign that the memories are too painful to bear.
