Well, sorry I misconstrued yer words, but it’s hard NOT to when ya talk the way you do, and don’t explain yerself until later.
And well, let me tell ya something else.
Yer acting like someone’s picking a fight with ya. Chiiiill. Stop actin’ like yer tryin’ to sound all tuff n’ stuff. Ya don’t need to put up yer defenses.
And another’ thing, you are jumpin’ into conclusions faster than a rodeo pony! cuddling him? Not let ‘im find his talents? Sorry f’ I come off as rude, but you have NO idea how we live, n’ what goes on in our daily lives.
I’m his freaking PRODUCER for his music. M’ the one who’s been training ‘im, helpin’ him out, and puttin’ his music out there! M’ the one who helps ‘im get his stuff for his art, n’ the one who buys ‘im cooking books. I WANT him to find his talent, n’ I’m always helpin’ him out with whatever he needs to find it.
As his best bud, s’ my job t’ give him all m’ support, and reassure ‘im when he feels his talents ain’t good ‘nuff. I make sure his drive never dies out.
The lil fella needs lots of encouragement, or else he’ll never put ‘imself out there n’ try new things. He’s got issues to deal with. So what I do? Support ‘im, make him feel like he’s got someone to rely on, n’ make sure he doesn’t put ‘imself down.
Is that baby-in someone? Hell no! That’s called a support network! Everyone needs that!
I kno’ n’ some cases, that makes things worse, but that’s NOT how everypony works! Some ponies need it, some don’t. Gray’s in the category that needs it. And I know it cuz he’s come a LONG way every since I started doin’ this for him! Things he could never do on his own, he now does like it’s nothin! Things he would never try, no matter how much he wanted ta, now he does with heart! Why? Cuz I made sure to give ‘im enough shoves in t’ right direction!
And THAT’S why I ain’t lettin’ him see things that he too could see as a put down. He don’t need it. He’s got problems as it is. What he needs s’ support and pushes n’ the right direction so he can get on his own hooves and go off ‘n his own. I ain’t bein’ toxic like ye claim I am.
I know what m’ doing. I live with the guy. He matters t’ world t’ me.
