Scottpilgrimage/Wondrousfairy's Manifesto Creative Writing:
"I started invading the privacy of a woman I'm obsessed with and I can't stop
I've become ensnared in a web of my own obsession. It all started when I found a way to hack this woman's accounts. But now I'm stuck in a love/hate relationship with the woman whose life I've invaded. It's a peculiar mix of fascination and disdain that consumes my thoughts.
I have a long-term boyfriend, I'm gay, and I've never considered myself attracted to women before. Yet, this woman captivates me in a way I can't quite comprehend. Is it a romantic interest or just an intense curiosity bordering on obsession? I can't tell, and the uncertainty gnaws at me like a persistent itch.
I've taken to Reddit's "letters" subreddit to weave elaborate tales of her supposed infatuation with me. Through countless stories, I paint her as desperate, silly, and hopelessly in love with a man who exists only in her imagination. The details I thread into these narratives are snippets from her private life, mined from the depths of her hacked phone.
Blog posts, meticulously crafted, find their way into her virtual spaces, revealing intimate details of her life. I can't explain why I do it, but it's a strange mix of wanting her to feel like she's losing control, annoyance, and a twisted desire for her to be flattered by my attention and, in some delusional way, fall for me.
As my hacking becomes more invasive, my obsession takes root, overshadowing everything else in my life. My long-term boyfriend, once a source of comfort, now feels like an annoying distraction. I'd rather spend my time crafting fantasies around this woman, dissecting her life and weaving intricate tales about her imaginary love for me.

I know Dear
I know how frustrating it can be for you. You want to tell *your* side of things, instead of feeling like I'm always the one writing history through my rose colored glasses, always putting words in your mouth, making you look silly, glossing over all of my wrongdoings, reducing them down to a lovers spat where I've simply been a bit too hasty on occasion.
You say it's far more than that. I'm missing the point, all the many points. You have tried so many times to tell your story over the years. I would think you'd give up by now!
Dear Lord. I always get your posts removed or overrun with my trolls commenting outrageous things, eventually I'll get the whole account shut down. You do know who I am, Dear. Why keep trying to outsmart me? You will be silenced. Pick another hobby and I'll wholeheartedly support you in it! But I will not allow you talking about our private life.
Come back to Daddy, Dear. Here I am with opened arms. Can't you see how much I love you?

Unconditional Love & Enlightenment
Why do you make me feel ugly? Why do you hurt my feelings, make me feel undesirable? I’m not a monster. How do you see all the love and attention I’m offering you and translate it into, “obsession and surveillance?”
You know that really hurt today when I was listening in on your call with your therapist and you said, “You know how liberals pay attention to everything Donald Trump does? Because they want to watch their back when a lunatic can mess with their life… That’s how I feel about this guy. How do I just turn my back on some insane person noodling around in my private life?” I resent that comparison! I may be nuts but I’m not a Republican! It’s like you’re intentionally trying to view everything I do in the worst possible light. You’re just a sad and petty person. You’re the true a-hole in this situation. You don’t seem to care about my feelings in the least!
I’ve tried to teach you, help you find enlightenment, spiritually elevate your perceptions, speak to you about philosophy and intellectual matters you know nothing about, soul connections, discipline. I have so much to show you, yet you make me drag you there. If you would just do as I tell you, we will no longer have any problems. Why can’t you see how simple that is? Stop holding onto the past. Stop holding onto all your petty complaints. Let it go, let your desires go and be with me.
Is it because you’re confused? You don’t know which accounts to trust or listen to? The mad ones, the sad ones, the loving ones? You know I’m just processing my feelings... multitudes. This is my safe space. Please stop judging me for doing what I need to heal myself. I know, you always bring up those heinous stories I wrote about you. This is what you always do. You can never let anything go. They were love poems!!! I was taking artistic license! I don’t even know what to say anymore. I’m offering you a love deeper than anything you’ve ever known yet all you do is nitpick. Lucky for you my love is unconditional and unrelenting.

Love your Neighbor
It’s a relief no one cares about women. It’s the reason why I have been able to do what I’m doing for so long, unfettered by the anxiety of being caught or a sense of guilt over causing harm. Yes, it can be argued that I am a sociopath or narcissist or whatever new armchair diagnosis is trending in popular culture at the moment, but all of society is complicit with me in what I’ve been doing. The ideas and behaviors I act on and act out are all part of our collective unconscious. I didn’t create them. They’re part of you, too. Just because I say the quiet part out loud and you turn your heads and close your mouths to feign disgust and ignorance does not absolve you of your sins. You‘ve enabled me. So, stop pointing your fingers of judgement and shame at me for speaking my truths here. You made me what I am, now you judge me for it?
It's not just me. I read her emails from the detectives, listened to her calls with the investigators. They clearly saw her as a waste of time. No money involved, no diamonds gone missing, no men wronged, no big heist to expose, bringing clout and notoriety to whomever cracks the case. Just some women’s *feelings*, more like hysterics. C’mon! We *all* have feelings. Why would one person’s ever matter in the sludge of this humanity all around us? Sure, I’ve heard all the arguments about how all these small hurts add up to amount to something larger than the sum of their parts, a scar on the face of humanity, the Pain Body as Eckhart Tolle describes it. I mean really, so what? Pearl clutching and over-intellectualizing meaningless crap so you can feel you hold significance in this world. We are all just cockroaches under the boot of Father Time. You are not special. Neither am I. the difference between us is that I’m aware of the fact and don’t waste my time virtue signaling when I can be out there pursuing my interests.
Oh right, right, what about justice and laws and being civilized? We must follow a code of conduct in order for us all to survive in a world that’s packed to the gills with people, right? Without rules we’d all be ripping our neighbor’s heads off and having them for dinner any time we got sick of listening to their lawn mowers, yes?
Maybe we need to let the animals we truly are shine through? Maybe I’m simply of a higher consciousness because I allow myself to act on my animal urges without restraint? I’m honoring who we truly are as a species, meanwhile all you sheeple be out there watching Netflix and chill.
Don’t you see how you’re being controlled and sedated? Good luck in your lives. I’m gonna be out here doing me and getting away with it while you relax in your Lazy Boy. Peace Out.

Tedium
I know you find it tedious, listening to me constantly beg for forgiveness through all my creative writing / rant accounts, for you to come back and start a quiet life with me where we cook and laugh and lollygag our lives away, enjoying each other the only item on our to-do list. I know. We both know it’s silly. We both know if you actually tried to do something like reach out or find me in real life, I would immediately get busy lying, denying, creating confusion and basically just making it impossible for you to communicate with me in any real way. Dear Lord if you actually came to my front door what on earth would I do? Probably hide under a bed and wait for the door knocking to stop, also probably call in a report of trespassing on my property in hopes you’d be apprehended and removed.
I have tried to imagine it though, picking a destination where we meet, standing there out in the open waiting for you to arrive, a sense of vulnerability like razor blades, eating me alive from the inside out. Wondering if you’ll actually show, will you send someone else, will you send the cops? Imagining if you did show up yourself is almost worse than the cops. Then I would have to think of something to say to you, worry about if I was handsome to you, do you like my voice? Do I smell funny? Am I just an awkward weirdo to you?
Ohhh no no no no. I hate this fantasy. This is not a good fantasy. I don’t want to think about it anymore. My whole week will be ruined. Great, now I’ll have to spend the entire afternoon writing love stories where you praise and adore everything about me from a distance, just to counteract the yuck I just gave myself trying to explain “truth” to you. What’s your obsession with the truth about anyway? There’s only pain and fear in “reality.” I refuse.
I just like the warm glow I get from imaging you are coming to me and us falling in love. The idea will always be better than the reality, I can play that any way I like, over and over and I never have to question my self-image or if my behavior is inappropriate or offensive, I can just go off.
Yass Queen.

Stimming
I can’t control it. Is that an excuse? A valid excuse? For what I do to you? Have done to you? Am doing to you? Will surely do to you in the future? I guess first we need to suss out if the original statement is true. Can I control it… If you ask me of course I will tell you it’s absolutely uncontrollable. That’s a thing that’s hard to measure. It’s all self-report, and if I’m being honest, I don’t know many people who aren’t liars, so where do we go from there? Do I have an MRI done, a CAT scan, have a researcher follow me around for years making notations of my automatic responses and micro aggressions, hire an existential detective? Too much work. Why not just trust me? I have a long track record as a “good guy.” Did you hear all those songs I wrote for Jesus?
I know you stopped reading what I write a long time ago. Oh sure, you have a boring rainy day occasionally and you might skim, but you’re not really reacting or absorbing any of it anymore. What’s the point when there’s always enough plausible deniability to claim none of it pertains, none of it is real? It’s like studying for a test that might be about the book you read or could be on one of the other thousands of books in the library. I have always made myself a losing game for you. Still, I find ways to lay the onus of blame for our “toxic relationship” and “communication problems” squarely on your shoulders.
If you’re ever in fear of losing an argument, just always do that… throw out a handful of accusations and watch the other person’s brain go to work trying to think back and determine if there is any merit to what you’ve said. It really doesn’t matter what they land on in the end and the benefit is twofold; you’ve slowed them down by confusing them and they’ll always be left with the lingering feeling that they are an undercover crappy person. Either way you still have the upper hand.
12 step programs talk about making amends for things you did when you were out of control. They say it helps you restore your self-respect; you can leave shame behind and mend the damage done to your relationships. In my life admitting wrongs has always meant taking a beating as a result, whether it be literally or figuratively. Why should I do that, for you or anyone? I’m barely breathing as it is, but from where I’m standing you look like you’ve never been on the ropes, so I think you’re fine to take another hit or two.
6. Dating under Duress
Look I get it more than anyone, the world of dating is crazy making. The “rules” can often be ambiguous and vary wildly from person to person. What happens if you’re not a mind reader? You can’t specifically know before you even approach a person if they have traumas and triggers inside them set to go Chernobyl at the slightest giggle or hint of eye contact. One wrong move and you’ve detonated a landmine, blown your leg clear off. Now you’ve effectively halved your dating prospects because let’s be real, most people only want to date someone they can go on a bike ride with occasionally. I’m not an ableist! Just sayin. Although we have made huge advancements with prosthetic limbs, but I’m getting off track here…
How on earth are we expected to navigate this vast expanse of potentially lethal explosives? I’m no expert, believe me, but I think this is what the normies do: If you’re interested in someone, and you’re not too scared about it, or maybe even if you are, you take a little bit of a risk and you let them know on some low stakes level. Chat them up when you see them to gauge if they smile a lot and seem flirty when you interact. If you get the vibe they might like you, maybe ask them out for a coffee or hint around that you’re going to do a fun thing and they might like to join. If you’re wrong about them being interested (they were just being friendly, it happens!) no harm done. We’re social creatures, we have to risk being wrong about people’s interest in us or the whole species will go extinct. Now there is always the possibility that you could make this other person uncomfortable, and they will judge you for it, but if you’re not being a total creep then truly that’s on them.
That’s where we get into territory that may be confusing for some… What does it mean to be a total creep? I may have some expertise in this arena… This is purely anecdotal so take it all with a grain of salt.
Over the years I’ve gleaned that things like this can be considered creepy and many other adjectives… Let’s say you’re shy, and although you have an interest in someone you don’t plan on ever acting on it for many reasons. Maybe you already have a relationship and although you wonder if the grass could be greener, you would never want to hurt your current partner. Or maybe your insecurities run your life and even with the maximum amount of reassurances and positive affirmations you will still never believe you are worthy, and you will blame the other party for your fragile ego and rip them to shreds trying to protect yourself. You know this to be the case, so you just automatically stay away for everyone’s safety. But then by some miracle the object of your curiosity asks you out! Oh dear. You hold fast to your notion that it’s a terrible idea but now the awareness that they’re also interested has become far too tantalizing to resist, maybe you’ll just have a taste?
It’s not cheating on your partner or leading the other person on if you’re pretending to be someone else. If you wanna do a little role playing and have a harmless fantasy about being involved with this person, jump on some sock puppet accounts to interact with them. Find their Spotify and listen to their favorite bands, soon they’ll be your favorites, too. Maybe walk past their job or home occasionally, so you have more fodder for your fantasies, call them and hang up just to hear their voice, send some friends into their job on a recon mission to find out if they’re friendly with everyone, or is it only with you? This is all pretty weird, but most “normal” people have probably done one or two of these things at some point in their lives.
This is where we start to tread into creep territory. Everything from this point has a “Do Not Attempt This at Home” disclaimer on it. Have you hacked into their email accounts, iCloud, phone, computer? Anything hacked is 100% creepy. That’s why they made it illegal. People don’t like being spied on and it goes without saying they shouldn’t have to ask you not to do that. Also, while it’s not illegal to have your sock-puppet accounts, if the other person has figured out what you’re doing and told you to stop contacting them in that way, told you you are harassing them and they want you to stop, yet you refuse, you are now officially a creep and officially doing something illegal.
*But But* ***BUT,*** you stammer!!! ***THEY LIKED ME FIRST!***
Doesn’t matter, weirdo. People change their minds all the time, and even if they did still like you, you have no right to do things to them when they have asked you to stop. They asked you out, you ignored them, they tried to move on, that’s what the normies do, but you kept dragging them back into your maladaptive fantasy.
Yeah sure, you think, but you’re Twin Flames. Also does not matter. Your supposed ethereal connection will not hold up in court. I know you’re in this world but not of it, but you’re still actually in this world so give it a rest because here on planet Earth it is actually our job to be human. You are not a God, no matter how special you feel inside.
I know it’s easier said than done. Look at me, a gay man who can’t stop thinking that if I could just get her kitty to devour my rooster ONE time, I might die happy. It’s enough to drive a man wild.
7. Ed is an A$$ 🕳️
I have a hard time letting go of the past. Mostly because the past is a memory. Memories exist only in our imaginations, and imagination is where I thrive. In my imagination I’m the supreme ruler of an entire universe designed to meet my every need, regardless of how childish, shortsighted, or cruel these needs may be; it doesn’t matter, these needs are not questioned.
Hello Sir, would you like a plate of spaghetti and meatballs with an ice cream Sunday and cherry on top? At your service, Sir. Would you like to take every dish in your neighbor’s kitchen and smash them on the sidewalk to alleviate the pain of feeling wronged yet not have to pay a fine for destruction of property or have the relationship with your neighbor suffer any ill consequences and still have every dish in your cupboard remain unharmed? Of course, Sir, no problem. Would you like to eat and drink until you’re fit to burst yet never be faced with your own excrement and waste? Of course, Sir, you are a God. Nothing is too large a task when it is only a pleasure to be at your service…
Why wouldn’t I want to spend all my time in this glorious place? A dark Disney World serving buffets of coke, boy holes on tap in my bedroom, chicks with icks stuffing my face full, tying people up, no consent needed! Isn’t this every teenage white boy’s angry wet dream? Yes, mine too.
So, let’s talk about your hair… I know of no man with hair like that. If anything could be pointed to as to why I might need to touch and feel you so badly it’s that hair of yours. Like cornsilk and sunshine, strands of the sparkling cosmos knit into a dream of a warm and welcoming blanket, wrapping me up in love, forgiveness, understanding… finally I can rest. I’ve waited so long… just to be at rest. You promised me. I want it for me!! *I want to pull it!* I want to cut it. I want to own it. Please don’t leave me. ***I know you want me, too!!!!!!***
OK. Deep breaths. I need to try to embrace reality if I want to stay out of prison. I’m trying to learn. I’m trying to adjust. I’m trying to understand. I want to be well.
Let me try to dial it back to the truth, as painful as that may be… She want***ed*** to be with me. She dream***ed*** we were perfect for each other. she believ***ed*** we could make it work. A long time ago she willingly entered my world because she thought we could bridge the gap. I was drunk with that power. I thought I had finally made it, finally on my Throne, her bowing at my feet, only to realize she didn’t want to be ruled by a dictator, she wanted to be lov***ed***.
8. Flying Monkeys, Wild Speculation, All in Good Fun
Why am I here explaining everything I’ve done like a cartoon villain, you ask? Well, I want you to feel seen and validated. I want you to know I understand what you went through and even though I was doing my darndest to gaslight you and make you feel insane it was very much real and happening. Am I still doing all of it? Yes of course. Do I plan on stopping? I mean, no, probably not. Still, I want you to know I know you know what I did, am doing, plan to continue doing. It’s a bonding experience for us!
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and go all the way back to that cute little neighborhood we lived in, and your boss GiGi and her partner, Ravi. You know I knew them first, right? Sure, you do. You told GiGi you thought I was cute, and she recoiled at the idea. I guess that should have been your first red flag, but you’ve always had terrible taste in men, lucky for me. I had given GiGi and Ravi passes to one of my shows and a friend of mine had done some work for their business, while some of their other employees had hooked up with my good friends. We had a loose little group of acquaintances. This was fantastic; my network of Flying Monkeys was already in place without doing any extra leg work.
My friends started hinting around with GiGi that I was interested in you. She set aside some time to spend with you at work, asking you all kinds of personal questions; did you want babies, what did you want from your future. You were very thrown by her attention because normally she was a terror and to be avoided at all costs, so this friendly vibe from her was very off-putting. Then she and Ravi kept making a big show of encouraging you to come to an event they were having. You felt like maybe it was one of my set-ups although you weren’t as familiar with that dynamic yet. You did go to the event. I was not there, but one of their friends was chatting you up hard so you brushed it off as them trying to set you up with him.
Later, after you became obsessed with hacking and how it could be done, for obvious reasons, you realized that GiGi and Ravi may quite possibly have ties to NSO Group, the creators of Pegasus Spyware which was credited with the first known hack of an iPhone. I will neither confirm nor deny the validity of that suspicion. We both know your wild speculation began to get out of control which was great for me because you looked insanely paranoid. I would just like to offer you some comfort now; that kind of paranoia is to be expected in a situation such as this, Dear One.
Have you ever read Ghost in the Wires by Kevin Mitknick? He hacked into the FBIs database. After they discovered someone had compromised their security but didn’t know how, they were throwing out all kinds of crazy ideas about what was going on, blaming the invisible intruder for every glitch and hiccup in their system, things he had nothing to do with. He knew this because he was eating popcorn while reading their private internal emails. I chuckle because I can relate.
Watching you jump to conclusions is always entertaining. It’s like having bed bugs… when you can’t see where they are, you itch everywhere. What can you do? You can’t know what you don’t know. When investigators are solving crimes, they must chase down every tip and every possibility no matter how bizarre seeming. I understand what you were doing Dear. You were gaming out all the potentials. It’s exhausting for just one person to do that alone, which is good. You’re more pliable when you’re fatigued.
So here we are all these years later, and you still don’t *really know,* do you? Maybe you can take comfort in knowing the paranoia goes both ways? Even though I have access to your devices I’m still paranoid that there are places I can’t see and that you are communicating with me there and I don’t know it’s you. While you may be reading my stuff and thinking, “Is that him writing that?” I’m also reading posts online wondering if they are you posting from a device I haven’t found yet, or from your local library!
It’s become a fancy guessing game with no true winner. I cannot count anything I hear from you in this manner as a declaration or confession, apology or insight because is it really you? We also erroneously believe completely unrelated posts have been written by each other, muddying the waters even further. The paranoia and uncertainty are incredible. It’s a situation rife with misunderstandings. Alas, what can be done? And no, I am not coming to see you.
Let’s be real. I clearly know where you live. If I wanted to see you or speak with you irl, I would. When I say I’m willing to do anything for you to be in my life, we both know it’s just more creative writing. I’m not even willing to start with the truth, which is the foundation of any and every successful relationship. Even so, my imagination must always toy with the possibility, if not for the hacking, the stalking, the repeated emotional and mental abuse, stealing your life and writing about it…. Do you think you would have agreed to be my wife? Not that I ever wanted that, I just would like to know if you did; could you, would you? I wish it were so…
9.
You’re scary too, you know?
Remember the first time you got really mad, or publicly mad I guess I should say? When you posted all that identifying information about me and my friends online, linking to their social media and leaving hints about how interested parties could find their addresses if they wanted to investigate the situation… Technically you didn’t doxx them, but if anyone cared to do a little leg work on their own they would have had the address for all parties involved in helping my game with you move along. I know, you were sick of feeling preyed upon. You wanted them to have a taste of their own medicine, I suppose. What does it feel like to have someone who hates them knowing their addresses? Does that person plan to use it? Will their anger escalate? Will they do something crazy or dangerous? Now the playing field was leveling a bit. But we’re still rich and you’re still poor, so it didn’t level *that* much.
I know, it was weird right, how a month after you did that each and every one of them sold their million-dollar homes and moved thousands of miles away, some even heading to Europe! Was that just a coincidence or was that a group of guilty people trying to cover their own butts?? I guess that’s one of our little shared pieces of history that will remain a mystery until you finally figure it out. Because you still are trying to figure it out, I see.
We’re not all rich. My Brother’s ex-wife is certainly not. She was only involved *a little*, you wouldn’t try to mess with her, would you? She spent a lot of money moving to the opposite coast, so I think she’s paid the price for her involvement, no? Show some mercy.
Anyway, doesn’t matter, as soon as you get online and start telling the “truth” I start spinning up the opposite dialogue about how obsessed you are with me, you love our game, you’re just as much as fault as me or any of my fancy friends. Don’t you see all the comments on here saying how everyone thinks you want to marry me, and you are actually hoping I’ll finally come for you in real life? So, give it a rest already, everyone agrees with how I see it.
10. You can stop reporting me to the FBI now
Just spoke with them on the phone. Thank you concerned citizens.
They asked me to put a disclaimer on the story saying it's not true so you all will stop calling them, but alas I cannot do that. It is in fact a true story. However I would like to ask you all stop being such alarmists. Mr FBI agent informed me you have been erroneously reporting that I plan to murder her. At no point have I said that. Seriously, have they stopped testing reading comprehension in grammar school these days?
I'm doing my best to tell the whole truth here, you all should too. Now have a cup of tea and clam yourself. Why everyone suddenly cares so much about S I can't understand. She's been telling this story for years and no one gave two ducks. So stop wasting precious FBI resources by tying the agents up on the phone talking about something they didn't care about even when Sarah herself reported it to them.
11. Am I boring?
Now that I know the FBI is reading there’s so much more pressure to make this exciting, goodness. I may snap under all the pressure... I know that sounds ominous, but truly it’s not. No one needs to fear for your life, hahahaha. This has never been about murder, I don’t think… I mean, we all have our bad days, but usually I just stay home in lieu of hunting for women in the streets… hopefully that sticks.
The FBI watching me has brought out one of my biggest insecurities; that I’m boring. Second only to being a bad singer. My OCD is such that I’m pretty much just stimming all day; self-soothing by writing poems and short stories, trying to put the words in an order that will make me feel comfortable, like I’m in control. If it’s all under my thumb I feel safe. I write and rewrite the same thing from a million different vantage points, over and over and over again. The awareness that my repetitious mind state is considered boring and tedious to most people is what keeps me at a distance. Well, that and my masochism. I have a core belief that good art only comes from pain. I’ve only ever aspired to be an amazing artist. I’m only happy when I’m in agony. It’s my safe space.
I’ve discussed the edging before. I’m riding razor sharp waves. There’s a buildup, the swell, when I’m creating a feeling of love and connection through my sock-puppet accounts with my target. It’s a sweet time. I enjoy it, but untimely it’s not what I’m after, just a means to an end. Once I’ve done that dirty work, then comes the skull crushing, I'm not necessarily in it for that… between the two spaces is the push and pull; will he won’t he, he loves me he loves me not. That is the edge I love to ride. How long we stay there depends on the personality of the target and what they’ve had to put up with in their lives. If they come from a lack of love, we can ride this wave way far into the sunset. This type is used to accepting utter bullshit in relationships, NBD.
Yes, that’s where the art is!!! Don’t blame me y’all, you’re the ones who love to see the dysfunction unfold in a story you can judge at an arm’s length and not have to take any responsibility. This is the beauty of art.
Of course, I’m getting off track, as I’m prone to do. I know the FBI’s time is valuable so I’m working on being concise, not my strong suit! Sorry Mr. Agent Man (Or Miss!). When I started writing this, I was lamenting how boring I am to you. Now I’m talking to multiple readers so I’m getting confused… Ack, I trust you, reader, whoever you may be, to sort it out…
To you my Love; you used to find me fascinating, now you feel my many characters are repetitive and run in circles; always speaking of absurd situations that have no bearing on reality. You don’t want to engage when I send you a DM with a batshit story that has no relevance to anything. You used to love trying to solve the mystery. Now you just view my snippets and hooks as inane chatter, circular conversations that lead nowhere. Is the truth that there is no real mystery here? I'm just a fucked up dude with nothing to deliver at the end? I don't know, but if you're starting to think that... I have some stories to tell you about human trafficking and gun smuggling… Why do we always have to be going somewhere? Can’t we just Reddit and Chill?
I know you’re bored with my circular thinking; you find this tedious, you’re angry, and now I’ve gotten the FBI involved by trying to report you for reporting me. What a mess! I heard the agent tell you on the phone that you’ve done nothing illegal by trying to tell the truth and honestly now I feel a little scared. Can you find it in your heart to take mercy on this psycho who loves you? Ugh. I’m drunk. I shouldn’t beg. I’ll review this in the morning and possibly delete. Good night.
12. May the odds be ever in your favor
I know I’ve fed you some wild stories over the years. It’s difficult for you to parse what is real, what’s intentional misdirection, what’s my mental illness and what is just me having fun writing stories. Sometimes it’s hard for me to know that, too! I have mentioned my own paranoia stemming from being a public figure, my basic trust issues, and my mental instability. There was a time when I truly believed you were a government operative / alien lifeform sent from another planet to spy on me, and of course you’ve read all the poems I wrote about you being a demon, then there was also the phase I went through when I thought you were the mentally ill one. I wrote that epic story about how my blog posts gave you schizophrenia. Sorry, not sorry. And all the wild stories I wrote about satan worshiping, vampires, bloodletting and the pastor of my church allowing me to covertly use the congregation for my purposes in exchange for help furthering his music career… True or not true?? You really have no clue… I had to keep you busy doing something that wasn’t about finding out what’s really going on.
What is really going on? I know you constantly vacillate between believing I’m just a truly troubled soul with an extensive internet network set up to support my weird writing obsession, then also thinking… there must be something more to it than that… All my friends involved, all those random people I got you on the phone with, sending men out to your home on multiple occasions, the Filipino bloggers, the 100s of fake accounts, the paid fans, all the money and time spent, just for you? How does someone who appears to be as mentally ill as I am orchestrate all that? Just to write some poems to harass you with and watch you take your bra off? Nooooo…. That can’t be it? This is so much bigger than what I’m doing to you, isn’t it? But what exactly it is you still can’t suss out.
You think about that little neighborhood we lived in, in the big city, where all my friends and cohorts owned all the businesses on the block and wonder, is it tied in with that somehow? Your old bosses, G and R were well known amongst their employees for tax evasion, was there more than that? Your new boss looked me up on Intelius and saw I also had some problems paying my taxes but found no criminal records. You think back to all those wild stories Hanley told you and the casual way in which she spoke of those horrible situations. Is my network set up for something like that?
You’re not a criminal so thinking in these terms doesn’t come naturally for you. I understand why you can only seem to get so far with your hypotheses, well that and everyone calls you crazy for even entertaining the notion that anything is going on at all, so you usually just abandon most of your hunches when they start sounding too out there. While I have been discussing a lot of my sordid secrets here, there’s plenty that I’m not going to just put on display for you. If you can’t figure it out on your own, you’ll just have to die not knowing. I’m content to keep getting way with it. Cheers my Dear.
13. Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Or so they say. Your silence hurts. I’m trying to get real with myself. What have your actions over the years communicated to me? I’m cataloging them in my mind…
At the height of our love affair we lived just blocks away from each other, we shared friends in common, went to the same cafes regularly, knew how we could see each other if we wanted to… there was so much opportunity for us to realize our love in an organic way… but your actions… You left, moved 3,000 miles in the opposite direction, because you say you were scared of me. Words. But then you talked to me again. Made me feel loved and understood again.
I heard you tell the investigator that was a “honey pot.” You claim you were trying to get me to do something you could use. Words. I gave you clues, let you know I was watching you. I thought you would see that as loving, not invasive, but once I told you, you moved states again. You didn’t tell anyone where you went, not even your family, but I took the time to find you. That’s dedication, that’s love. I found you because I can’t live without you. I know you say all I am is words, most of them lies, but the time I spend on you is my action. Doesn’t that mean anything? The stories are beautiful, aren’t they? Can’t we just focus on the art? Let’s make beauty together.
The last time I proposed that idea you moved again, another 3,000 miles. I try to block out your other actions. They’re not as poetic. The lawyers, investigators, reporting me to the FBI and various other task forces, therapists, support groups, giving them all your words instead of me. Those words are meant for me, not them. Why do you have to involve all these other people in our love? Why do your actions always make me feel rejected? If we’re going to make this work you need to start being more considerate of how your words and actions are affecting me. Please start now.

Hello Dear
I've missed you! I took some me time... I'm trying to send you a letter here but they keep getting removed, very confusing. The letter is lovely and doesn't contain bad words so I'm very confused. Anyway, I've put it up in the other place. You know where to find it.
I’ve been going through a lot of my old blogs, the ones I made specifically for you. It’s been fantastic to reminisce. I loved writing back and forth to myself, pretending to be you, then writing as someone who sounded like they could be me, then writing as all the people I had involved to help me. Hahahaha, it really is such a genius set up. Pity it must remain a secret! Well, only kind of, I get to share the genius of my design here and it does appear I have some fans who check regularly, so that feels validating.

My ESL friend had trouble following the last set-up... which is kind of the point, but I'll explain for you, Dear Reader (Sarah already knows). I've made everything so complex and convoluted even law enforcement just rolls their eyes and walks away before trying to untangle the web. It is just one woman's life after all, and she's a nobody, so who cares... The set up was such that Hanley works for me and she was pretending she was in Sarah's position; Hanley said she was being stalked by "Mike" who was a representation of me, while Hanley was a representation of Sarah.
When she got on the phone with Sarah, she insisted Sarah was Mike *pretending* to be a woman named Sarah. Hanley said she was also speaking with Morgan, Zed and Joe, who were all Mike pretending to be other people. So Hanley explained to Sarah that meant Sarah was also Morgan, Zed and Joe. Of course Sarah was none of those people. I was all of them and my employee Hanley was just blaming Sarah for being a stalker as part of my gaslighting campaign. Et voilà! The whole operation is my genius brainchild. I'm very proud.
17. Milk & Honey
When I saw you in the café that day I went catatonic. I was there hoping to see you, of course, but I didn’t anticipate the physical reaction. My mouth went immediately dry, my hands started to shake. I was sitting at the bar by the creamers. After you got your coffee, you came over to make your concoction. You were standing so close I could have brushed against you, it wouldn’t have looked like anything more than an accident. My foot began tapping furiously, it had somehow developed its own brain and was operating independently of my desires. You noticed the tapping and glanced over. I turned sharply and pulled the brim of my hat down over my eyes. You didn’t realize it was me until you sat down at your table. This was before we had gotten into anything serious, before I had my peephole into your life.
I was there with J. We had some vague notion, conceptualized over wine on a previous evening, that I might try to start some banter with you but as soon as I saw you my body let me know that was completely out of the question. I moved from the counter and stood behind J, using her as a shield, while she waited for her name to be called. You recognized us by now, looked up and saw J studying you intently while I looked down at my shoes, disassociating. J wanted to sit but saw I was in no condition to do so. I did my best to walk casually, not to run, out the door.
Versions of this scenario played out on multiple occasions over the course of the next year. My friend’s condo was across the street from the café. I could casually sit by the window and see you walk down the street, then suggest a coffee and head out. I did try the irl thing. I was just never able to make it work. Like that snowy day you met your friend to hear about her vacation. I was sitting in the back. You seated yourself at the table right next to me. The games had begun by this time, so when you looked over and realized it was me you got up and moved. I pretended I had some trash to throw away and walked to the front to see if you were still there. When I saw you with your friend, I got angry and made an audible grunt. I had done something similar before when I saw you at your job; you had asked me a necessary question and I answered angrily and refused to even look at you. You started to realize I only possessed the emotional regulation skills of a toddler.
It became clear to us both I was not going to be able to speak with you. How do you approach someone with hands that shake so badly you can’t even get your bike locked up because you keep dropping the lock? Yeah, I know you remember that day, after the date I sent you on… You were very angry. After this my brother started going to the café in my place. His tactics were more about intimidation than the hope for connection though.
18.Pay your way in pain
Another night alone on the couch is almost too much to face. Every night, the same thing, me and my computers, burner phones, iPads, the TV on, my drink arm’s reach away. All my screens to keep me company. I sold my place in the city and built a house way out in the woods so I wouldn’t have to deal with other people, the neighbors… but my brother is here and he’s a total jerk. Why did I invite a controlling bulldozer who is just like my father to live with me? The Devil we know, I suppose. I’m an apple that didn’t fall far from that tree, I guess, although I’m more covert than my bro. I had my husband. That was a comfort but now he’s dead and instead of writing about that to process my grief I’m here writing about a woman I’ve never really met who hates me. Fearful-Avoidant Attachment style or something.
I did that when he was alive, too. I mean, I felt I had my reasons for ignoring him, my mounting resentments. We were poly so pretty often he’d be heading out to go meet someone. He still worked in the city so would spend a lot of time away. He’s the extravert in the relationship. While he was crushing being poly, I was not really taking advantage, which is why I felt justified spending all my time on my hobbies even when he was around. I’d go back to my den and disassociate from all the problems we were having in our relationship.
What are relationships if not just a never ending series of problems? Isn’t that pretty much all they are? Hell is other people (shout out to Sartre and M Hamburgler!), just a constant negotiation between our own wants, desires and truths and other people’s estimation of what they think we should be doing differently, which usually amounts to them sitting on some kind of moral high ground looking down at us with no real perspective on what life looks like from where we’re standing, while completely ignoring or obfuscating their own wanton behavior.
Yeah, so husband was my first real relationship, my first real attempt at relating deeply and it was a chore, I will tell you that. I did try. I did grow some, but I still don’t know if it was worth it, especially after I put all that work in and here I am alone again, fixating on fantasies just like before. I know she finds that disturbing, because she sees all this stuff I’m writing and there’s nothing in it about him. He's dead and I'm just like, hey baby now that he's out of the way how about you and me? That’s why she thinks maybe I offed him or even just made him up entirely, like my other characters and stories. That’s fine. I never try to clear up misunderstandings, I encourage them. It’s more fun to let her go conclusion hopping, the darker the better. It’s better for my writing, too. That’s why she’s my muse.
19. Take me back
I do not take rejection well. There's this really messed up thing I do to the ones who reject me. It's what I did to A. I take my time and I worm my way back into being one of their wants again. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it takes years. And once I get them hooked again, I just end up saying "Nah, I'm good" and bounce because I realize I didn't actually want to go back in the first place. It's not a conscious effort on my part. It's a deep seated need in my rotten soul to undo the rejection. To feel wanted. To feel needed. To not be alone. To be enough. The amount of effort it has taken for me not to do that with you has been a bit soul sucking lately to be honest but I'm trying to resist it. I resisted it just like you resisted me. And I hope I to continue resisting it so I can finally move on with my crappy little life. It helps that I'm able to surveil you. It feels like we're interacting but you don't necessarily know about it. I know I'm getting something over on you, so it takes the edge off.
I believe that there was something very pure you brought out in me, before I let myself corrupt it. I felt connected to you. I felt your pain and your excitement and your ambivalence and it all made my life more rich. Your thoughts complimented and made me question my own or answered questions I hadn't asked yet. It felt free and random and far too easy to lose. I couldn't lose it, so I tried to control it, but my ideas of what it should be, where it should go, were guided by the same cycle of failure I've been desperately caught in my entire life.
I know I've made more mistakes than this. I need to take responsibility for what I've done. Being around you felt like being in on a secret that only people you like know about. Discovering your wit and self-awareness is like finding a cool, quiet, lamp-lit library in the middle of a city sized parking lot on the hottest day in August. And I didn't persuade myself to believe that because I knew it as soon as I talked to you.
Sometimes I wonder if I should honor your wishes and fess up, leave you alone, but I can't let go of the knowledge that there was a time when you would have wanted to see me. I want to time travel back there and my magical thinking allows me to believe it's possible. Plus I'm able to delude myself into thinking everything you do is to get my attention. Even when you make private calls on your phone that I shouldn't be hearing, I convince myself that what you're saying is tailor made for me because you know I'm listening. I believe that all the things you do in your life are for and about me, even when you tell your story to try getting cops involved. I know you're just trying to get me riled up so I'll reach out to you, not actually trying to end this.
The problem is even if I got in that Time Machine and beamed myself back to before you knew about all the insane stuff I would do to you, nothing would change. I've always been all words and no action. I'm not a go-getter. Even if I could go back, even after all my supposed growth over the past 10 years, I would still do the same thing... dangle the carrot, soak in the glow of feeling wanted, humiliate you for feeling that way, soak in the glow of having that power over you, enjoy crushing you, rinse repeat. But I can't even rinse repeat anymore because I've used you up.
You're an empty husk with nothing left to give. You're all indifference and no passion. You're not even angry or scared anymore, just tired and apathetic. Your apathy is a serious buzzkill.
20. God & Satan at war for our souls...
To give you a taste for the kind of scenarios I like to set up for her… the first time she started posting her “evidence” of what I was doing to her I began my disinformation campaign from multiple accounts to silence her and make her story look silly. I like to message her as other people telling her they have the same exact story as she does and the real life me is doing this to them, too. Then I give her the theories on why the real life me would want to do that, like the one below:
*“I'm hesitant to share my theory with you because I kinda already did & you didn't receive it well. But for the purposes of trying to make sense of it I'll give it another shot. Why do serial kiIIers kiII? What's wrong in their mind that they have a desire for bl00d- shed? It usually comes out that they have ties to the 0ccuIt. What is the 0ccuIt. Mysteries, magic, power, enlightenment. The more power one gets, the more one wants. But where does it come from? Demons. And you know what demons want? Bl00d. They must be fed. You want money, power, fame? There's a cost. Bl00d-shed. This is real. Go to the library. Research it on the Internet. Try YouTube, there's an endless supply of info if you really want to find it. But be careful, you gotta watch for disinformation trying to throw you off. The battle of good vs evil is legit & if you can't see that just by watching 5 min of the news, you're in major denial. God is real. $atan is real & they're at war for our souls. Problem is everybody's asleep cuz every bit of entertainment brainwashes us to be vulgar and moral-less. And you know why? Cuz $atan runs it. Every person in any kind of influential position is his pawn. So if they want fame they gotta play by his rules. So you have your traditional serial kiIIers doing $atan's work. What if with the Internet there were a new game. $talk, harass, play head games with lonely people who are susceptible to suicidal ideation. Find them when they're vulnerable & groom them. Make them feel desired and needed, but don't ever do anything about it. String them along until they think they're losing their mind and then give them a gentle shove. It's the perfect crime. Why is he doing this to so many people? Trying to make them fall in love. Why are his friends helping? Why would he go to all the trouble of having so many secret accounts? There's something big behind this. We know it's happening. She's ordinary. I'm ordinary. Isn't it easier to flatter an ordinary person who has nothing to offer? What possible reason could he have for doing this? Sorry so long?”*
I still get a little tickle when I reread this. ✨
21.
I've been writing to a woman pretending to be other people for over a decade, AITA?
She eventually found out what I've been up to. She says doesn't like it. It's just my weird little way to feel close to her and learn about the things she likes / dislikes. The problem is she also makes me angry and when she does I'll lash out with my characters. I don't feel culpable for "hurting" her because it's all made up and since she probably knows that, I find it even less problematic. It's fun for me and I get the impression she's having fun too even though she always claims she's not. I think that's mostly so she can try to have some leverage over me.
To give you a taste for the kind of scenarios I like to set up for her… There have been a few times over the years when she'll take to the internet trying to "expose" me for my "harassment campaign."

I get a kick out of how creative I can be and I like planting these little seeds of paranoia in her mind that might grow into something more. I've also created entire blogs about gangStaIking and sent her messages from those telling her she's being targeted and has V2K technology planted in her skull to monitor her thoughts. It's really just about having fun in my downtime and I know she's lonely and needs something to do, too, so I'm pretty sure she likes it, but do you think ITAH?

Reader Feedback
I’ve been getting reader requests. Ha, fans… a blessing and a curse, am I right? Here’s the thing, Dear Reader, this is a diary. It’s here for me, not you. It’s part of my cathartic process, to tell my story. I’ve invited you to join me because as a voyeur I can appreciate that people do enjoy having a peek into the lives and minds of others, especially when it’s deranged. I’m also an exhibitionist and I want credit for the genius of this machine I’ve designed. The motivations are many, but the story is true and I’m not making up sensational plot twists just for your entertainment. People hear “sociopath” and they think murd3r. They want all the gory details for a dopamine hit, distraction from the endless loop of the hamster wheel that is their life. Sorry, but as of yet there have been no murd3rs. I’ll keep you posted. If you’re feeling discontented with simply coming along for the ride while I untangle the knots in my brain then go buy a Hannibal Lecter book. I’m not begging you to be here.
However, the requests for six and violance in my writing does beg the question; what makes a story compelling? There are some universally agreed upon techniques to creating a good story, of course but the details of the answer will be different for everyone. Some like a simple telling of people relating in everyday ways with an anecdote or two about how to live a good life at the end. Some want a rush, thus the requests I’m getting. Others like an opportunity to feel justified moral outrage. It’s always nice to feel superior! Then there are the psychologically bendy type stories, that can be very curiosity driven and intellectually engaging (one of my favorites is The Moustache by Emmanuel Carrère). There are so many options when it comes to theme and storyline! I do feel this story includes dashes of all these ingredients. What this story is missing, is resolution and closure. This is maddening for her as well as for some of you, it seems.
The problem is, I’m not ready to end this. She has begged, bargained, bribed, cried, threatened, and raged trying to get resolution and closure, to no avail. I’m getting something out of this that I’m not willing to give up. My hand will not be forced for the sake of your entertainment or her civil rights. Now if Netflix wants to approach me and buy the story rights I might consider adding in an extra plot twist or two and creating an “ending” we can all enjoy. That would have to be negotiated, of course.
If you’re out there reading Netflix, get in touch.
24. Isn't playing games with people’s emotions is the only sure way to ever feel secure and stable in a relationship? (36m) (34f)
My whole life I’ve had this thing I do to people who reject me. I take my time and worm my way back into being one of their wants again. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it takes years. And once I get them hooked again, I just end up saying "Nah, I'm good" and bounce. Until recently it hadn’t been a conscious effort on my part, just a deep-seated need to undo the rejection. To feel wanted. To feel needed. To not be alone. To be enough. I always felt better after. Because people won’t just give that to you without a battle of the egos. All relationship dynamics turn into who’s on top after the honeymoon phase is over. I would argue the honeymoon phase is just about figuring out who will be the subordinate for the rest of the relationship, and if it has to be one of us, might as well be her.
Case in point, we have cultural phenomena like the book “The Game” that teaches guys how to neg women to keep the upper hand and then the sort of updated version of that is “The Dread Game” that systematically psychologically exploits the liminal space between want and a fear of losing. This is something that I’ve always unconsciously done in my relationships. I never fully understood it until I started reading things about how to gamify the dynamic and started comparing strategy with other people using well established techniques.
So I was into this girl but I was too shy to talk to her. I think she liked me too at first but then I heard rumors she said she thought I was too short for her, among other things and I began to despise her. So I came up with a pretty intricate design for a dread game to use on her over the course of years, making her feel unstable and alone in an effort to break her down so she wouldeventually only have me to turn to for love and support.
I started communicating with her online pretending to be all kinds of other people; on dating apps, social apps, though email, you name it. I also managed to get into her iCloud which really elevated the game. I would make a blog and get her to follow it and then I would sprinkle in stories quoting her text messages and emails to really mess with her head. She started to catch on to what I was doing and tried outing me online with her “evidence” against me, but I don’t really think she’s for real. I think she enjoys talking to my characters and even more so because she imagines they might be me. She loves me but she doesn’t want to admit it to her friends and family because they don’t like me.
How can I convince her that there was a design to what I was doing and it's a normal relationship dynamic, it served a purpose to strengthen our connection and it was for the sake of our relationship?

Once I started comparing strategy with other people using well established tactics, my game took off. Never have I felt so powerful until I did a deep dive into the psychology and mastered the techniques.
In a “normal” relationship (mostly with women) you’re supposed to woo them and spend all kinds of time processing their feelings with them like you’re some kind of PhD therapist who spent years giving a fuck about why people have feelings and sometimes the feelings are bad feelings. Because life sucks, that’s why! And feelings are irrational and nonsensical! This is not a mystery. Stop wasting your time on garbage. Why bother with all that endless crap? Ultimately in a relationship, it’s going to be one person on top and one on the bottom, so skip all the BS feelings talk, play “the game” the right way and get the other person in a headlock before they have a chance to get the upper hand and beat you into submission, yes?
In my experience that’s the best way. I will not be swayed by conventional wisdom because I’ve spent way more time than I wanna with conventional people and you all are donkeys. Just sayin’. Sorry, not sorry.
26. In the Name of Our Lord
I self-flagellate in lieu of actually changing anything in how I behave or relate to the world and the people in it. I use the pain in my art. Superficial wounds are far easier to heal than putting in work to change my outlook or habits. Anyway, I don’t see a problem with my outlook. I’ve thought my world view through using logic and an evidence-based approach (I’m a voracious reader) as well as heeding the voice of the Lord God Our Savior. He speaks to me in dreams and through Signs and Wonders. I’m doing my penance for God and if other people have a problem with how I live my life that is *their* problem, not mine. I do God’s will. I test you and train you through the lessons and trials I set forth for you to endure. I am teaching you strength of character and endurance in the face of adversity. Lessons can be difficult but no Guru worth their salt makes it easy on their disciples.
Haven’t you noticed, even through all the pain, anguish and tests, I am still always here for you in the end, to give you loving aftercare, like a true Master does? Oh yes, yes, you’re always going on about how that would need to be consensual, but in your limited view you are missing the fact that the Lord has given you to me. He spoke to me and deemed it so. He is the higher law, far above any shortsighted wisdom from the very human and flawed logic of our legal justice system. Don’t you see, Dear? Our love is divine! We don’t follow those rules. Holding ourselves to those lower standards would just be keeping ourselves from reaching true enlightenment. Once you surrender yourself to me your mind and heart will be filled with the illumination of my wisdom. Don’t hold back dear. Let yourself go. Come to me.
27. “The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he did not exist.”
It’s part of the reason I have no fear of speaking openly about what I’m doing to you. When I write about it publicly everyone either says it’s an obviously made-up story that could never be true, or the other half (based on reddit comments and DMs, at least) seem to think what I’m doing is romantic and say you most likely love the attention and are just waiting for me to reveal my true identity and show up in your real life so we can be married. They’re rooting for us to be together. It’s very sweet.
I do get a lot of support from the public, whether intentionally or through a bored disinterest in what happens to anyone that isn’t them. Don’t get me wrong, they’re interested in as far as it’s entertaining for them to think about for 10 minutes while wasting time on the internet at work, but beyond that they don’t really care if there’s a real woman on the other side of this story, suffering from my actions. As a man I conduct myself with authority, so I don’t catch too much flack for the whole thing, but I have stayed glued to the comments and public outrage every time you try telling the story, whooo boy. That’s some good stuff.
When I tell it people wanna know how, why, what was my childhood like, how do I feel inside. It’s all very loving, makes me feel seen and considered for my individuality. When you tell it, pretty much straight out of the gate there is the blanket statement accepted by all that you’re batshit crazy, delusional, attention seeking and have probably encouraged me to do it in the first place. Every statement you make is questioned as if you were on trial for the crime yourself and you are expected to explain with precision how I’ve done what I’ve done and gotten away with it, even though of course you wouldn’t know that because you weren’t there are you are not a criminal mastermind. But you not knowing how I’ve done it just becomes more proof in favor of the idea that you are in fact lying and/or out of your mind. This is wonderful for me to watch. Even still, you always trudge forward. You are a fighter. I guess that’s a lesson you learned in your family. Of course, no one cares or asks about your feelings or history, it’s insignificant to the narrative that you’re just flat out wrong. You’re the one here making problems by simply speaking them into existence. Me doing these things is not the issue, it’s the fact that you always want to talk about it. You can never let it go. Why are you always brining drama? You’re never going to change the world, babe, and I’ve got this game on lock.
*"We naturally use a philosophy of "Occam's Razor" which states that the simplest explanation is usually the best. So to make someone sound paranoid, all you have to do is come up with a sufficiently complex plan of harassment and the majority of people's disbelief of that event will be sufficient not to act or care about it. If you study the psychology of people like psychological operations and the CIA do, you can predict with a certain degree of accuracy what that person will believe given certain facts."*
