I'd miss you, shmoopie.

I was just thinking about that the other day though...The one year anniversary of my ex boyfriends suicide is in 9 days, and it's been just over 3 since my friend Billy was killed in a car accident. My mom's bf's mom just died 2 days ago, also.

We have so little time on this earth, and most people spend it being selfish and unkind. We are given so few chances to tell the ones that we love exactly how much we care for them, I just don't see why people choose not to. But I've been guilty of it too in the past...

Talk about perspective...too bad that rarely comes without a price... It's true what they say, though; hindsight is always 20/20

P.S. I love you Greg AND Autumn...I'm so sorry.

It takes a lot of work, but personal growth is never a waste of energy.

And I'm not just talking about your weener.

Greg, you are truly a good person inside and sometimes it does take a slap across the face to remember that we're not going to live forever and to not take people/things for granted. Everyone we know will one day be gone, and no one knows what day that will be. From what I've seen, you do a great job of telling people that you love them. I look up to you in that way. Some people call it "throwing around the word love," but what harm is done in telling people that you love them? Absolutely none. It makes people feel good. That's just one of the million reasons why I love you. <3

Death is a horrible thing, scary mostly
when someone close to you dies, you feel alone, cheated
and especially sorrow. I think sometimes what a horrible joke god (if there is one) plays on you. You are born only to eventually die. That scares me. and lsoing poele close to you is a very frightening thing.I do feel for your friend, and please send my deepest sympathies.
Greg you are a good person, never think you are not. and for the poeple who think you aren't they just don't understand you. Thats all. You ahve a huge heart, and you make a point of telling those who you care for just how much.cherish the ones who love you back sweetie, and forget the ones who don't even if it hurts you. They obviously never were your friend to begin with.

greg, you are the most kind, loving, and amazing person that i've ever met in my life. you always listen to me when i'm happy and i ramble on and on and on and on, when i'm mad and i just want to bitch to someone, and when i'm so sad that i can't even point out one positive thing in my life...and that means so much to me. in the short time that i've known you, you've given me one of the most positive things that i have in my life today...and that's a true, loving friendship that i know is there, and will be there no matter what. i've never had that before, and it makes me feel so good to know that you're there...i just want to be here for you. i love you.

autumn, there is nothing that i can do or say to make things any better for you, but please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Ok, I know this entry is a few days old and that I dont ever post in your journal and that we dont even really get along.

But.

I'm glad to see an entry like this from you. You arent a terrible person. If you truly were, you wouldnt have had such a realization.

<3.
