A Swirl of Scotch and Soda

[boizane]

Livejournal is alternately obnoxious and helpful for me.  Sometimes I really benefit from the opportunity to journal, sometimes it is little more than a way to check in on the people I love.  (That would be all of you, my friends...)  Sometimes I sit here and journal my boi-ish heart out, and sometimes I just watch.  Sometimes not even that closely

I have great sympathy and empathy for where you are right now. I lived with Mae and Marcus and the kids for 22 months. Those kids were mine too; they treated me as a parent, with all the love and sass and frustration kids can evoke/provoke. And I had to leave. And I may never see them again, which is at least something I hope you don't have to face

I so hear you... sometimes you're taking the Big Steps yourself, sometimes you're supporting other people's Big Steps... and when you're in the swirling, steamy, muddled middle of it, I think the trick is to just keep breathing and trust your own decisions - while of course keeping your eyes open.

*luck* and *joy* to you! and I'd bet that if you give yourself permission to sit and think about it, there is a lot of joy and good happening now too, even in the midst of the maelstrom... keep breathing, sweet boi!

*hugs* and *chocolate*

Chocolate! That's what I need... Chocolate! what a fabulous idea!

Also: getting wasted amongst a few dozen obnoxiously loud dykes doesn't hurt. I highly reccommend it.

The hangover this morning, on the other hand, does.

Thanks.

Best of luck with the hard choices. If you need an ear or a shoulder, you know where I am. I hope that we can stay in touch.

I hope we can stay in touch, too. Thanks for the offer.
