I had a fake Tyler early one. I guess 4-5 years.  I didn’t know there was such a thing. 

It went on awhile.  Thru this person, I found out about Ty’s interviews in podcast etc… and started watching YouTube.  I’m generally a skeptic but the allure of finding clues to piece together (is he or isn’t he).    They gave me several clues that they weren’t Tyler - I don’t think they meant to but after a year or whatever, I was sure I knew. 

Well this person contacted me on a Monday and said they were in trouble at work because their manager saw them texting me.  They said they’re only able to do that with the “pass” and quoted be a price of I think 1500 or something.  My stomach hit the ground and I became aware of how much I’d had wished it was Tyler. 

But then they told me that they needed the money that day or hallmark was firing him and he’d lose his job nationwide.  At that moment, I realized part of me hoped it was. 

Realizing I was losing a friend and then realizing that the person was never a friend; I was just a mark did catatonic things to my body.  I felt a big change inside and can’t describe it.  I have a lot of autoimmune diseases and that’s like a script for autoimmune disaster.  By that night, i was coughing, choking on air…..the whole bit.

Except it didn’t go away.  After about six months of being sick within my own body, I found out I have heart failure and pulmonary fibrosis, both terminal.  They gave me 3 years is I was lucky.  I’m in that range now and scared to death.  I mean can you even believe this???  I’m going to die because I was a moron and some moron just took me for an oxytocin ride in my brain. 

They were always civil discussions and very clean. No dirty talk or implications.  It’s a very heavy punishment to pay.

You are not weak. You were targeted.
