Hello all,

87 comments on the last post; it would take me forever to reply to every single one. A lot of anonymous comments revealed the gray turmoil enshrouding the lives of some of these posters, and I am not going to say something lame, or try falsely to make anyone feel better by saying, "it's going to be alright

It's true what you're saying. Very interesting entry.

i'd like to thank you for something, even if you'd probably think you didn't do anything to help me at all.. but it was a big deal, really.

i posted this anonymous comment in your previous entry, and being able to express that sentiment has probably made things clear for me somewhat. see, i didn't have any occasion to verbalize those thoughts before but i know they were sort of eating me up inside, so finally being able to express them, although anonymously, was a big relief for me, and yes, eventually i learned to watch myself more and follow the advice you gave above even if i never saw the entry until just now.

at this point in my life i could say that i've finally reached the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. a few weeks after i made that comment things worked out much better; i was able to meet someone that satisfied my needs. i'm now congratulating myself for being able to stick through things before i reached the end.. and you, for being so astute about things. hee.
