even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

Oh, I'm reaching.
Can I reach too?
What is behind the door? Will you still hold my hand once it's open?
Space ...the final frontier.
I hope no one is gonna jump out from behind that door and make me jump.
Is this a door for entering, or leaving?
maybe we should all hold hands and we'd stretch around the world and back to mayo
Ah hell, lets have this big train of us all holding hands.
Sound cool?
Mayo are you letting us in or sending us away?
Thank you, Mayo.
missT I agree, and no spiders
whose hand have I got?
No big bloody spiders Ergo, I agree.
MissT, that's my ass, move your hand!
Mayo talk to us damn it. I was only kidding about poking you with a stick.
or was I?
Firm though, wasn't it?
I'll yake your hand missT
Thank you Mayo, by the way, for the new stomping ground.
Thank Ergo.
Sorry K, nice ass though.
that was take not yake...i was checking for spiders and hit the wrong key
Mayo darling, please tell me there is an actual point to this.
I don't think I can reach. maybe I'm not meant to?
xx cupcake.
Mayo, are you gonna grab a hand too?
Something just brushed against my thigh...
Was that you, K??
hi RW how are you?
would you like to take a hand so we can reach out to mayo together?
Come back on, Ihekoa. Say hi or something, you know? Jesus.
Hey so uh...this isn't like a green door is it?
Wow it's so roomy in here, Thanks Mayo. Maybe you should come in and stay awhile.
I am sorry to hear the news about Trisky.
And the others who have expressed their pain, my thoughts are with all of you.
What happens here, the support, the friendship...it simply amazes me.
i'll just slip in after the others, ok?
Why sure, EP :) Between you and me, we've got two of the four corners of the world covered!
Mayo,
I think I'll find my corner now.
Home....
oh cupcake - we are close to each other (compared to the others) we can reach together, and we'll save a space for Pickled Possum and Blackjacket (who hasn't been here for so long :( )
Well, thank you Ihekoa. Yeah, these folks kind of dragged me through a work day that I don't even really remember.
RW, that was me. Just trying to reach for your hand, sorry. ;)
And thank you again, Mayo, for providing the venue which brings us all together.
hi mayo - i think it amazes all of us !
*wipes hand and offers it to you*
Thank you Mayo! Jeez. We were all hanging out and peeking in the windows and stuff but we couldn't come in.
Hope you are still feeling okay and all is well with you.
I agree Ergoproxy, I think if we all hold hands we would make it all the way back to Mayo.
You're sweet, Mayo. I'm not sure if you're as sweet as me (ask Star and MissT how sweet I am) but you are being sweet.
You still got hugs and kisses coming from me!
XOXO,
Princess
Hey bud.
Well, here I am.
What do you need me for?
-A
Mayo, I want to say thank you. You have provided this amazing place. Does it make you feel proud because it should?
Our support for each other is amazing. We'll all extend the same to you should you need it.
I'm speechless. Es weiss nicht.
You know, and you don't have to be so chilly and distant, the friendship and support are here for you, too for godsakes. We like you, you should start to get that idea.
And find your damn apostrophe key.
Mayo it would be nice if you would talk to us. I thank you for the hand but talk to us.
Mayo,
It's all because you started this.
YOU!
Thank you.
People all over the world, join hands! Start a Love Train! Love Train!

RW, that was me. Just trying to reach for your hand, sorry. ;)
A likely story, E!
...
Do you want to get married? I mean, after I ditch you-know-who...
hello anon, find a hand to hold
Hi everybody.
Hi Mayo.
It's nice to be inside!

We've never had a love train before!

God, K you always make me laugh!
Oh, hiya anon friend.
Kapunua, someone touched my ass too. Who here is doing the ass touching in our hands around the world?
Hi there K. Anima, someone touched my ass before in real life. It is not a pleasant experience I'll tell you :)
Hey Anon!
You should be proud, Mayo.
Honestly, this place amazes me, too.
hello, anon. *waves a little*

God, K you always make me laugh!
I'm glad. I'm trying to make myself laugh. Usually I succeed and find myself to be a regular barrel o' monkeys.
I think aphostrophes are overrated lol
thanks anon, I'm well, and probably one of the only ones here sweating!
Hoping you are well adn happy too
Hello anon, nice to see you. I hope you are well.
Hi there squeak squeak, smoke how are you?
Doesn't slow Internet connections suck well hello Mayo and anon how are you guys?
Hello to all my friends who have returned to us.
SDock - Hop on the LOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEE Train everyone!!
-A
You guys can touch my ass, but be gentle. It hurts. I slipped on ice and fell on it this morning!
Ouch!
We are trying K.
I confess....I am the one who grabbed asses on the way to my corner.
Sorry, just couldn't resist!
Anima,
Have you been working out?
oh I'd say it depends on who's doing the touching !
So with all this ass touching maybe it IS a green door we're behind.
Psst... By the way guys.
It sounds to me like he's finally letting us in. In more ways than one.
-A
Did I just talk in German?
Great. Now I'm channeling my inner German girl.
i'm okay, anon.
last night was better. reality is always dreary after a concert.
awww I think I know who anon is!
nice to see you again
Mayo, how was your day?
I don't care who grabs my ass. knock yourself out, go on.
"Mayo, sweetie, I know you're confused, you're lost, you're in the dark. Grab the hands that can lead you out, there are so many, just reach out, there will be at least one that you feel. It always matters." -Comment to your last post.
Mayo,
Does this have anything to do with what you have written? Because there are many hands to grab you.
Love you,
L.
miss t:
*squeeze*
*wink*
If your talking about ass touching one time at the Gap My friend and I got are asses felt up by a seven year old. Yeah he just walked by and grabbed our asses.
Hey ANON. Glad you're here.
ok now I have the songs "Love Train" "Love Shack" and "Green Door" fighting for supremacy in my mind!!!
Oh hell a giant big ass spider just crawled across my screen.
Hey BC,
How are ya?
Mayo, don't make me break out any more cliched conversational questions. Come on and just talk to us.
You guys don't recognize me? Aww come on! ^_^
Squeak squeak, thank you for the compliment on the cupcake parties *hugs*
I wanted to drop by and say a quick hello. I'm feeling stressed out.
TJ, you have a lovely squeeze. I like the way your hand lingered.
a 7 year old !!!!!!
wow.
you know I hate the titty rub, when a guy walks past you close enough to rub their arm or back against your chest...eww
"someone touched my ass before in real life. It is not a pleasant experience I'll tell you :)"
I was cocktailing (saying that just makes me laugh) and a drunk guy slapped my ass. I saw it coming. In slow motion. I told him off. His friend apologized for him and I threatened to have the bouncer kick his ass. Needless to say it never happened again.
Unwelcomed ass slapping is really uncool. I'm sorry that happened to you. ;)
The debate has escalated.
I have given every explanation for my behavior, which recently has been a bit off color, even for me.
He has heard me out and that is all I can ask for.
MJ - I had a four year old grab my boobs once. I was wearing a Toronto Raptors shirt and he asked if he could "touch the dinosaur" and just grabbed them!
Cheeky little bastard!
-A
Thank you.
Hi there sd10, elena how are you guys?
OP, if you are, I talked to my doctor yesterday about the depression situation. I see him again in a couple of weeks. I may asked to see if I can receive medication.
elena - aaaaaaaagh
keep it on your side of the world, I've had big spider this morning already
anon (who's not so anon lol) good to see you hope the stress passes.
RW, four years from now, we can pick up where we left off!
How about that?
miss t, i was just admiring the glitter. (your bum will always be sparkley to me. *wink&grin*)
Mayo,
Usually it's all of us offering our hands to you.
Thank you for the offer in return.
Love,

You were willing to talk about it, and I will give you credit for that.
All you can do is hope that you can both work through it. If he's a good friend, he will.
I trust that it will work out Mayo.

Mayo, just the fact that you were able to do that is unbelievable and pretty brave. It must have sucked, but I bet you're glad you did it.
Ep how about this I was hugging a coworker I hadn't seen in a while and he started to rub the back of my bra.
Sorry Mayo. Late as usual.
What happens when you feel like you've reached just about as far as you can reach?
What happens then?
Will you reach further?
Mayo, from the comment you just posted, you need to brace yourself if the situation begins to escalate. It may get worse before it gets any better.

Off color, huh? That's an unusual term to use. I wonder why you chose that one.
I'd love to hear your explanation. But I know it would put you on the spot to say it here, so.
mayo well it sounds like you've done the right thing. That is all you can do.
I hope he can understand and resolve the debate with you in a way that is comfortable for both of you.
He has heard me out and that is all I can ask for.
you know he's thinking about everything you said. i'm sure your words are important to him, mayo.
Mayo was it an honest explanation?
I mean really, truly honest? Not just some lame ass excuse.
Mayo,
Are you listening to him?
Mj that is not good.
some guys just can't resist the temptation.
I had a guy used to rub my shoulders, oh he gave me the creeps
Little boys are perverts, yes Amy they are.
Also Mayo, make sure that they are explanations, and not excuses!
-A
"Oh hell a giant big ass spider just crawled across my screen."
The stories about the spiders really freaked me out. I will never kill one. Well maybe... it depends. I have never experienced really big ones. I am thankful.
Centipedes, now there is a bug that I want out of my life. I haven't seen one in a while, but in the city, holy fuck those things make me cringe. I can't help it.
Ergo, right now I have the need to take some xanax. The last couple of days I have been feeling nervous, to the point where I get a rash. I fucking hate it because I'm feeling that way now.
To add to my last comment, Mayo, I can say that it is great to hear that you finally have spoken up to your friend. Keep it up.
Mayo, I wish you all the best in whatever you have to do. I hope the conclusion is a good one.
Wanna grab a hand or an ass?
Tj my sparkles are great, especially when they catch the light.
Sdock has the right idea. Explanations and excuses aside, you say he's heard you out. Have you heard him out?
He's heard you out, but have you heard him out?
2-way street, Mayo.
Keep an open line of communication.
Don't close yourself off. Be honest.
Tj my sparkles are great, especially when they catch the light.

oh wow.

It's a freakin' Twilight Zone in here.

December 7, 2007 10:43 PM
You have given explanations, but have you given the truth?
We would ask who's winning the debate, but we are well aware this is not a game.
Both of you, please, remember, your friendship is more important than who is right and who is wrong. Compromise, forgiveness, love.
After 20 years of friendship, believe us, we've been there. But we've come back from it.
So can you.
Love you dearly,
L and J
Is your behavior of late something that you honestly feel bad or ashamed about? Something you feel you have to defend? To really explain?
He is your friend Mayo give it time. Even when you have a fight or a falling out if you are true friends you guys will work it out. Just give it time and don't push it.
well at least if you've seen the doctor you can get medication monitored,a rash is not good, but there are so many things you can try you'll find the right one for you, just keep with it, but look into behavioural therapy too, it can work wonders.
*reaches*
elena you are creeping me out from here !!
kill it or something!!
Twilight Zone? lol what an episode this would make
See, I look at "debate" as a civil thing.
Had Mayo stated the "fight" has escalated, I'd be more worried than I am now.
But it was a debate.
I just hope both sides shared.
Ok, nobody touches the royal ass without permission.....
Unless you are also royalty. Such as the King or possibly even the Queen? That sounds a little weird seeing how I'm the princess and all but go ahead Queen. I have to warn you though, it is too fucking fabulous.
Mayo,
I'm sure everything will be fine. I got a funny feeling that it will be. I'm gonna say it again, you are sweet. Not always but who is? You are when it matters and that is what counts. Sweet dreams and I love you to pieces, too. ^_~
SS,
If you are still around, you already know I love you to pieces. I don't have to tell you.
To everyone else tonight,
Faith, Hope and Love
and Family
Love you all,

mayo, you forgot to put a period at the end of your title
give him time
Ergo, as of now, I'm not taking any medication, but I see my doctor in a couple of weeks and he told me to ask him for medication to prescribed for the depression. When I go see him again, I will tell him. As for therapy, I am trying to work that out, but I'm nervous because I was supposed to go to court and they haven't sent me the papers for the date yet and they were supposed to do that last month.
Apologies for my rambling, but thank you Ergo.
Anon:
I don't think this is the time, honestly.
Mayo is this your damn spider? I'm just sayin' it didn't show up until you posted. I told you I didn't mean it about the stick.
Goodnite, Lil Sis Princess Smoke
Love you too!
Anonymous, you forgot the part where I have said that I was going to keep an eye on things.
Also what the others have been saying he took the time to listen to you now take the time to listen to him. I'm sure he is just worried about you.
mayo, what outcome are you hoping for?
Elena, if I was your neighbor, I'd come over and scoop the spider up in a paper towel and take him outside for you!
Anon at 10:54 - STOP IT!
Damn give it a rest.
I'll send my spider after you!
How's the rash today sweetie?
Good night, Princess.
Your words were beautiful. Just like you.
Family.
Hope. Love. Faith.

Good night S&V20. When she isn't look not only do I grab her ass but I pinch it too. wow princess you have a nice ass
I'm going out on a limb here:
Mayo, why did SS want to be wrong?
Anon, my sweet, remember this word:
Contradiction.
Thank you Star. I wish somebody would come get this little bugger. He's off the screen and on my cigarettes. I need one, damn it.
Miss T, the rash is okay now, but when I get nervous it starts itching. My day has been stressful today unfortunately.
You all have given me much to consider.
Communication is a two way street.
The end result, restoration.
Actions speak louder than words. Our behavior is who we are and what we believe in.
RW, four years from now, we can pick up where we left off!
How about that?
Excellent, E! It's a date!
...
You don't mind if I sleep around in the meantime, do you?
Mayo, don't leave yet, I want to tell you something real quick. Hang on just a sec.
You've given me more than I ever thought imaginable.
Thank you.
Elena,
All traces of kindness are gone when he camps on the cigarettes!
I will send out Spidey vibes and tell him to move!
I hope we do help you mayo, I really do.
It's nice to see you back, rash or no rash.
had you seriously not thought of that before? communication without a give and take is just a monologue.
Mayo,
It just struck me.
This post, it's for your friend.
This time he needs you.
Your P.S. defines "friendship".
J
Yeah Mayo
Communication is a two way street.
We got a highway going through here. You really should try communicating with us more.
That's good to hear Mayonaise. Please keep continuing on restoring your friendship. There is nothing wrong with trying.
Trying is better than not trying at all.
Elena I would help you out but I hate spiders. Had I seen the 36 incher Frank saw I would have run all the way back to the USA. I would have been like Jesus you know the walking on water part.
For whomever it's for, I hope they take the invitation.
Mayo, I don't know if you've ever been into writing, or any writer's groups or anything like that, but I learned something valuable from things like that. Have you ever heard of the snark rule?
The snark rule, in writing circles, basically states that if three different people tell you something is wrong with whatever you're doing, they're probably not just being bitchy. If you get the same opinion from a few sources, there is probably some validity to it.
So I guess the question is, have other people said anything about "off color" behavior or whatever?
Anoher part of the "snark rule" is that it's pointless to justify or excuse what people are telling you because "it explores the question of" or "it demonstrates such and such a point."
You don't have to hear this out, but it's just a thought.
Anyway, once again thank you for your thoughts on Trisky, Ihekoa. Because that's kind of you.
well that's good "anon"
honestly,it takes time to sort this stuff out, don't worry about the court thing, can you give them a call? it's probably just running late but if you call you may feel better.
tyr a website called beyondblue (you maight have to search it but i think its www.beyondblue.com.au)
sorry
www.beyondblue.org.au
Miss T, I find it funny that you guys have not called me by name yet.
Temporarily, I will name myself Little cupcakes or whatever else you guys want to call me.
Sorry, I was coming up with some stupid names when I got bored ^_^
mayo communication is definately a two way street, keep the lines open but sometimes the street may appear desrted until the other party feels able to continue the journey.
Don't give up hope and don't force the issue, time and honesty and understanding
The stories about the spiders really freaked me out. I will never kill one. Well maybe... it depends. I have never experienced really big ones. I am thankful.
When I was 14 I was sleeping over at a friend's house, in a sleeping bad on her floor. There was a spider crawling up her wall (this was in BC, where the house spiders are BIG). I expressed concern, but she said it had been there a few days & didn't bother her.
About an hour or so after trying to get to sleep, we both got up and decided to look through magazines. I opened the zip on my sleeping bag... and out ran the spider.
And thus began my aversion to the eight-legged beasties.
Mayo,
You know where the answers are. Where the have always been..in your heart.
That's why I told you to forget about going around and around your brain...look in your heart.
You'll figure it out and get through this.
You know how I know?
..because I'm faithful like that.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Thanks for keeping my spot in the corner warm.
Hey anon seen the vultures like to attack you your temporary name should be after the mortal enemy of vultures what every animal that is.
Ergo, hopefully I am trying my best at getting myself back together, but as with other things, it is not easy. I think I may have to call the court tomorrow. I have to anyways. Oh, and thank you for posting that site. I will check it out later.
He has heard me out and that is all I can ask for.
This sounds hopeful to me. It really does. I'm hoping for a healthy resolve. Not everything is perfect. It is in the flaws that we find the beauty. Just remember that.
Btw, sorry I missed that earlier. I've been around and about.
BC, I didn't want to blow your cover unless you said it was OK.
RW - I hate Spiders, but it depends on how I find them.
If they just randomly scuttle by, I shudder and let them be.
If I'm using a restroom at a Petro-Canada in the wilds of Ontario and they start descending from the ceiling at me, I tend to run around screaming.
-A
RW my spider is still on the cigarettes. He needs to move now.
Spider step away from the smokes...
He's not listening.
Mayonaise,
You say your hand is there, but I really can't rely on it.
That's true, Amyranth. It is all about the location!
RW, I don't mind. Man, I'm kinda doing that to my current wife, ha!
What's up with me being a permanent ghost?
Mayo, I hope everything works out in the end. Goodnight, my friend.
Elena,
Use your stick.
J
Hi there martha. yeah unfortunately, even under an anonymous name, I still get attacked. Honestly, it doesn't bother me if they hate me.
Let them hate all they like. just by knowing that, I'm doing something right and I have always said in the beginning when I first arrived here that I wasn't here to please anyone.
-The avenger.
So Mayo are you still around?
Cause it's kinda rude just to get up and walk off without saying goodbye.
Kapunua,
I have been so busy and not been able to get online,
I am so sorry about Trisky's diagnosis.
My heart goes out to you.
Elena threaten the spider with bodily harm. GET AWAY FROM MY SOMKES YOU EIGHT LEGGED FRECK OR I WILL RIP FOUR OF YOUR LEGS OFF!!!
Miss T, you can blow my cover all you like :D (Lol)
I am not afraid of anyone.
elena, he's still here. i can smell his cigarette smoke.
Mayo ends with a jade's trick each time.
Don't you, Ihekoa?
Oh you mean my Mayo poking stick?
Okay but the spider looks kinda mad. It might just piss him off.
Hi there katherine.
K, I am sorry to hear about Trisky. My heart goes out to you.
how is everyone else doing?
Guys we are almost at 200 comments already. Hello to everyone who has returned.
Thank you so much, KD. Every once in a while (like say every three or four minutes) it hits me again.
That's cool BC
Hey if Toujours is right and Mayo is still here cause she can smell the cigarette smoke - Dude give me one, your damn spider won't get off my pack.
I understand Kapu.
I'm here for you.
Mayo, sometimes I feel as if I am being coerced into coming back here. All because of your fucking blogs.
You seriously need to stop causing them to be addictive ;p
how about TATWB (the anon that was bc)
Mayo,
Let me leave you with this...
Simplify
Testify
Identify
Rectify
Pretty simple...guaranteed to work every time if you follow through.
Have faith in yourself, have faith in your friend, have faith in us, and stir, stir, stir baby.
Yep. How are you Miss T?
Star - Ontario would be nice. Except for the spiders.
Damn spiders.
-A
Mayo,
L and I are still talking about your comments tonight. We're so happy for you, just the fact that you're coming in here and telling us what's happening in your life. This is what we've all been wanting, is for you to talk to us.
Keep talking to him. But, also importantly, keep listening. He loves you and wants nothing but the best for you. See, he's still standing there beside you, giving you his encoursagement, his support.
WE ALL LOVE YOU, MAYO. We are here for both of you.
I'm glad to see that you realize it now. :)
HEY KIDS! DADDY'S HOME!
Glad to have you back.
J
I'm a lot better today thank you BC.
How are you doing?
Ergo, Lol.
This time I wanted to come up with a silly name, one that is name after a food of condiment.
in a sleeping bad on her floor
I, of course, meant sleeping bag.
But you all probably guessed that.
descending from the ceiling at me
I'm not really cool with that either.
BC, I want to tell you all the right things, but I do not have the answers.
It is okay for you to be here. However, there needs to be a balance. Everything in moderation. I admit it is wonderful being here. I adore it. But it is also making a better person outside of here. And that is the real purpose. I think.?. So if it will let you walk away and be okay then it has all been worth it.
*sorry, i'm babbling*
Sending you a huge hug. *HUG* because hugs feel really amazing.
Ok Rw this is bad I read that as bag not bad. My eyes must really be fucked up.
If I'm using a restroom at a Petro-Canada in the wilds of Ontario and they start descending from the ceiling at me, I tend to run around screaming.
I quite understand. My reaction, I think, would be to freeze, stare wide-eyed in horror, then smack the thing until its legs flew off.
RW I dunno sleeping bad on the floor gave it a certain twist.LOL
