Hello. My name is Ellie. And I am a Rickroller.
-
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.
-
It all started when I was a child. I was a stranger to love. I was alone in this world. Honestly, I was terrified of what was ahead of me. I learned at a young age that being a Rickroller was a full commitment and Rick Astley was the only guy was the only guy who was gonna tell me how he was truly feeling. He was the only one who made me understand.
-
Never gonna run around and desert you.
-
After my first Rick Roll, I felt like a flame had been lit inside of me. All I could do was send people links to Never Gonna Give You Up on YouTube. I watched this video grow to billions of views over time. I become a daily Rickroller. I had been at it for so long and my heart was aching, but I was too shy and too ashamed to admit this to anyone.
-
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye.
-
Rick was the only one who knew what was going on inside. He was the only one who listened. I have heard his voice every day for the last five years. I started to doubt myself. Maybe I needed help. I always blocked the thoughts out.
-
Every night, I repeated the same words over and over again, until I fell asleep: I am never gonna give you up, Ricky. I will never let you down, I promise.
-
One night, I was working on an essay. Out of nowhere, I got rickrolled and ended up deleting the entire essay by mistake. This is when I realized I needed serious help.
-
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
-
But you did lie, Rick. You lied to me every time I thought I was about to watch a video of my friend playing the piano. You lied to me every time I thought I was clicking on a recipe for gluten-free crepes and a new crochet pattern. And you lied to me every time I thought I was clicking on a WFP link.
-
You gave me up.
You let me down.
You made me run around.
You deserted me.
You made me cry.
You lied.
You hurt me.
And now, it is time for me to say goodbye.
-
Again. My name is Ellie and I am a Rickroller. But I am ready to let go. I am ready to heal.
-
But are you?
