Once upon a time there was a teen that went by the name of Galen. Galen was a weird one, never fitting in with the masses. So one day he discovered discord! This was something amazing, and he absolutely loved it. It let him be whoever he wanted to, he could mold and shape and make his past and present self into whatever he chose. One day, after perfecting who he wanted to be, he met a girl who went by the name "missmoth". Galen, who at the time went by the name "Eragon" struck up a conversation with her. After a couple of conversations and some lewd jokes, they became close friends. Galen was excited by this, finally someone who liked him! He never once thought that "missmoth" would look for Galen's past, trying to find out if he was lying or not. A couple of days later Galen Direct Messaged "missmoth", seeing if she wanted to talk for a bit. Hours passed by before she replied with "you lied to me". He was hurt and confused, when did he lie to her? Day after day the question bounced around inside of his head. Where had he gone wrong? After a week of mind numbing torture Galen finally realized what went wrong.. she had found out that Galen was lying about his whole past, that everything she found enjoyable about him was just lie after lie after lie. And this broke Galen, he was depressed and sad, but most of all he was mad at himself. Of course no one could like a liar, why couldn't he just be better? For weeks and weeks he was just a husk of his former self, barely living anymore. That was when he got a Direct Message by someone he didn't know. It must have been someone he had seen or talked to briefly in an online game, but he didn't remember who they were. He went to reply, but as his hands neared the keyboard they started to shake, he just couldn't. He didn't want to hurt another person because of his lies. He didn't want someone to go through that again, not if he could help. And so he waited, seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours and hours turned to days. It had been 3 months since he was sent that Direct Message. Eventually Galen couldn't take it anymore, he needed to talk to another human, someone, anyone other than himself. It was that day he swore to never take up someone else's name, to wear a disguise and fool others, he vowed to never trick or masquerade as other people. Galen didn't want to hurt anyone anymore. And so, with that mindset, he talked to the girl. And they got off great! Galen was friendly, offering information when asked but otherwise not giving up much else. He could laugh, smile, and simply enjoy the company of her. She was magnificent, not only did she tolerate his joking comments she also was funny, pretty, and an awesome person. Galen was awestruck that someone could like him for him, even if it was just being friend. This was the happiest Galen had ever been, and he could only thank her over and over again, promising her that he would never leave, never make her sad, and never let her down. He would try his hardest to keep true to his word, but in his mind it was all worth it, for she was the one who pulled him out of the darkness and just liked him for being him.

That girl she was me.
