It has been awhile since I've posted, and much has happened since I last updated my diary.
Basically, Catullus' obsession with me has turned unhealthy.
Even though he clearly states
that he's over me in his Catullus 8,
that he's over me in his Catullus 8,
"Vale puella. Iam Catullus obdurat"
"Goodbye girl. Catullus is already strong."
I know that he truly isn't. If he was over me, he wouldn't even bother writing about me!
For heaven's sake, I just want my life to return back to normal.
I love my husband, NOT Catullus!
I'm fed up with these petty remarks he continues to make.
"Quis nunc te adibit? Cui videberis bella?
Quem nunc amabis? Cuius esse diceris?
Quem basiabis? Cui labella mordebis?
Quem nunc amabis? Cuius esse diceris?
Quem basiabis? Cui labella mordebis?
Who is he to ask who I will go to, who will think I'm pretty, who I will now love,
who I will belong to, who I will kiss, and whose lips I will nibble?!
These questions are not only outlandish, but simply child-like.
As I've already stated, I have a husband! A kind, sweet husband
who appreciates me and loves me so dearly.
who appreciates me and loves me so dearly.
Catullus, if you happen to be reading this (which I'm sure you are), please leave me alone!
I've had enough with your immaturity and selfishness, please just let me be.
Hopefully this is the last post I will have to make regarding you. Goodbye Catullus.
Lesbia. I do admit, its been hard for me, but you're making a bigger deal out of this situation than needed. I liked you. In fact, I still do like you. Nothing will ever change that. If anything, all I want is to preserve our friendship. That is all I ask, that is all I hope for.

Catullus, I want nothing to do with you. I have moved on completely and I think you should do the same. You cannot keep contacting me, and if you do so again, then I will not reply. Goodbye and farewell Catullus.

Lesbia, please don't leave me! I need you, I crave you, I can't imagine not affiliating myself with you. Don't you ever think about the times we've spent together? Don't you cherish the memories we've made? I know I do. I hope I remain in your thoughts, because you remain in mine.

Lesbia! PLEASE REPLY TO ME. I feel empty without hearing your voice, or seeing the words you type me. I need you. Please at least respond. I beg of you.
DeleteSincerly, Catullus.
Catullus,
DeleteFac ut vivas. Get a life! Stop talking to me!
