You are more right than you know. :)

*E*, I don't want to pretend that I can know exactly what you're dealing with right now, and have dealt with in the past, because I obviously don't. But a lot of the things that you mentioned in your post I found myself nodding at. Especially about the second paragraph, because I posted some of the exact same feelings just days ago, as you know. I've been thinking about it since I made that post, and I've realized that I just don't fucking care if people look down upon me because of my posts. :) I really, really hope that you do, or will, feel the same way. Serious and deep conversation is wonderful, and you contribute to so much of that, but why the hell should it have to be like that all the time? I don't think there's been anyone who has worked as tirelessly as you and Cem to keep the board floating, and it has not gone unnoticed by the majority of us. I love having you around, and you are one of the most wonderful assets that this board has. If you do need to take some time off, I will sorely miss you. :( But I understand the need to take a little break. I think that many of the issues that plague those of us on the boards come from RL, and in order to straighten those out, it's necessary to focus on RL and RL alone for a few days or weeks. I hope that it doesn't take you that long, but I want to know that you are happy, or at least on the road to happiness and contentment, and for however long it takes I'll be there. I definitely haven't talked to you as much as I'd like on IM and such because I'm another one of those people who has real trouble IMing anyone. :oops: But next time I see you there I'll tag you, and feel free to steer the conversation any way that helps you.


I can't think of much advice to give you, and I'm afraid that it would be the pot calling the kettle black in my case anyway. I think that Eru is right when she says that getting a job might help some, because as you well know being busy can help keep your mind off of the empty pain. Another thing that helps me is to volunteer somewhere. Even if you don't have the time or ability to do that, the littlest donations can help. Hell, I gave blood today and felt better about myself. :) But I know that depression and despair is not very conducive to motivation. I'm so glad to hear that you've been trying to change little things about how you live in the hopes of feeling better, and I know that soon you will find something that does help. You're not destined to slog through life without hope, because no one is. It just takes some time to fully realize that, I think, and lord knows I haven't yet. I consider it a work in progress.


Now I've gone on blathering about relatively little, so here's the important part. We love you. :hug: If you need to talk to a real human voice, my cell is always on. I might not answer it right away but if I see that you called then I will call you back! PM me if you don't have my number.

*E - and elfsha too - I don't know where the criticism came from, whether real or implied, but I hope that you haven't thought of me as being one of the culprits. :( I've enjoyed your posts, whether lighthearted, or deep and meaningful, frivolous, long, short...you always come from the heart and I've enjoyed seeing your youthful energy at whichever board you're on. I've certainly not ignored you, though I know I haven't responded often - but that's because of my own stuff. You know how that is - sometimes the dam is fit to bursting, but letting the floodgates down seems a very dangerous thing to do. So I don't post much.

(Truth is, I'm sure no one as thought of me as I'm so rarely around).

My very fond thoughts are with you - and Ber, I'm so sorry I've lost contact with you. Seeing you always lightens my spirit.

Ha! It's funny how we are so good at believing our own lies. :) :hug:

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map, And knew that somehow I could find my way back; Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too - So I stayed in the darkness with you

It's hard not to notice you Impy because your posts are so wise :)

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

I miss this thread - it made me happy. Nostalgia - it's not the same anymore.

I've cried a thousand oceans, and I would cry a thousand more if that's what it takes to sail you home.

What a disastuh.

Lidless and Meg are two peeps who make me happy just to see posting, though. I'm glad to have a history of sorts with them.

Whoops. I'll start that thread tomorrow, I promise!

Preview:

Hey, folks. Come to Halifax. It has a tugboat. If you get me drunk enough, I'll totally kick him in the GD face.

But wow! Great to see ya, TWT. With some of these older threads being resurrected, yours was definitely a name on my 'where the hell?' list. Thanks for the PM reply! When I can't find folks through there, it's pretty much my last resort, so becomes a waiting game from there. :P

Jude, I dunno about you, but I'm totally bringing my doggy. :D It's too close to leave her behind! Well, depends on lodging and allergies, but she's my ideal travel partner: easy to look after, gets along with everyone, and cuddly. Cons: doesn't fit in a suitcase. :uhoh:

Touche, Elian. Touche.

That things so old I need to change it.

Chances are I have a new godess anyway... ;)

No worries *E*. I just got so caught up on things I've had little time for the internets. The real reason prolly is that I haven't really had a computer in about 2 years. I use my cousin's who I live with, so I try not to hog it since it isn't mine.

Anywho, reply back to my PM. Let me know if you're up to doing that thing, you know, down by the place, sideways, with the 3-balled midget...
