I guess I misunderstood. when I post things like that, wherever I am posting I often ask people not to comment because I have already heard the "I'm sorry ____ is happening" line too many times. I dislike posting on things like that because I always feel cheap. all you can really say is "jee that sucks" and "I'm sorry" I very much dislike it when people do that to me... I did not know that you were not of the same opinion. :( so. I'm sorry. I worry about you alot. In fact I think about calling you about three times a week but I don't know what times you are awake/asleep because of pantamalion's work schedule. When I do try to call I always feel like I have just inturrpted something.
Oh no... I'm really sorry... I guess I'm like most of the above - of course I read them, especially the long ones, and I worry about you and pray for you, but often when I try to say something encouraging it comes out sounding critical or judgemental. That's not a good excuse though, you're right, I could at least try. And you do have a right to be angry. Don't listen to stupid Anonymous up there - they obviously don't care or have any idea what it's like to be in pain. It's really frustrating to feel like the people you care about don't care about you, especially when you really really need them. But I don't think the internet makes it more easy for people to be there for you - it's a kind of impersonal medium, and often with blogs, people read and think without telling you (I rarely comment on anyone's blogs ever, although I think about commenting on yours a lot). So at least don't judge us for that - like people have said, it just seems so trite and superficial, almost insulting to just say something like "Wow, that sucks"

It feels cheap to comment on this post, but I really mean it.
I guess I just prefer real life, which sucks because I haven't been available recently.
I've been thinking about you Alyssia. Pretty frequently since February.

I think you're tattoos are beautiful, I'm glad Ginger will be fine, I hope your bumps and pain are gone, is your aunt okay?
I guess I was trying too hard, that I didn't realize that such simple things would be good too.

that's for both you and all my friends, but it's inspired by this post so mostly you then.
