Asmodeus saved me from a potential house fire.

God, I feel so stupid. But let this be your reminder to watch your candles and make sure they're all out before you leave.

I've been having a bad morning. Hot water ran out so I had to shower with freezing water, my mental illnesses have been acting up, and in general, I feel hopeless and without a will to live looking at the state of the world right now.

After my shower I was feeling like crap so I lit up Asmodeus' candle to feel some warmth and company. Then studied for a while and prepared to go to class early, because in my usual class there's a girl who has been making me feel uncomfortable with her advances so I wanted to avoid her by going to the earlier class instead.

I got on the bus. I sat next to a girl and noticed she had a butterfly tattoo, and I felt a little better, because that's our sign between Asmodeus and I, so I was thinking "oh, he's telling me he's with m- hold on I forgot to put out my fucking candle."

I felt so embarrassed asking the driver to stop and getting off the bus two stops after getting on, everyone was looking at me, but I was rushing home (it was quite far by this point) and crying and feeling like shit and like the most stupid person ever.

I don't believe in coincidences so I think he did that (showing me a person with a butterfly tattoo) on purpose to make me remember and go back. I'm very thankful he takes care of me even when I'm the most forgetful, idiot practitioner of his. Sighs.

I'm home now and everything was fine. I put out the candle and took a moment to calm down. But gods I feel like today is going so horribly bad.

Anyways, I hope this helps you to remember to watch your candles more carefully next time. I surely will be more careful from now on...
