Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth Mid sweet talk newspaper word cut outs

I don't even know what to say right now. My words are coming, they are brewing, but only for me, only for my real journal so far. I'm kind of torn about this Megan thing. If she hadn't flipped the fuck out, locked her and em in their apt, steal ems car keys and then hold her hostage and threaten herself AND me with a fucking knife, or threatened to ( Read more... )

Yes, you need to find the lesson, but that is the eternal conundrum, if you ask me. Was it really YOUR lesson to learn, or someone else's? If it truly WAS your lesson, what can be gleaned from it ... what positive can you take away from things like this?

In your case, I would suggest that perhaps it is the knowledge that you have the inner strength to do what is necessary ... what is right ... regardless of the apparent cost. We all struggle with things like that, and it doesn't get any easier with age, believe me! Just from what I read, though, I believe you did what you needed to do, and you will ultimately be the stronger for having done it - although it entails walking away from a valued relationship in the process.

I may not be on here often, but I DO still check ... keep your chin up, ok?

Thursday's child seems to be pretty "with it" maverickpiscean April 19 2006, 10:37:55 UTC

Well I'm glad you knew what i was talking about then! I'm glad that another door opened too because having one shut in your face is never a good thing.

Hmm.. I know (and have always known) that I have the strength to do what's right, to stand up for what I believe in, etc... it's just not so easy to be the only one standing (pretty much all the time). I don't put up with bullshit either like a lot of people do. It's what makes me stand out from the rest of these people. It's what makes me as lonely as I am. BUT... you are right, no matter what the cost. I sleep better at night knowing I have a clean conscience.

When I saw the heading you put on the reply to my comment, my first thought was ... "Me? 'With it??' Nah!" My next thought was ... "Holy shit, she's still ALIVE!!" And it's good to see, frankly. I've had my nose stuck so far into the tax returns this year that I hardly noticed the world turning around me, but I was wondering if you noticed the comment.

Yes, it is hard being the ONLY one 'standing' sometimes, but it can be worth the effort when all is said and done. I've done things I'm not very proud of, and I've done things that were horribly painful but that I can look back at and say "I held true to my principles and what I've tried to teach my kids." I think the things I'm proudest of were probably the most difficult, painful and, ultimately, lonely. It can, however, be done (but not without a certain amount of angst, yearning for the status quo, and a few other things that we all fall prey to).
You have a harder path, I think, than I have had. In addition to being a strong-willed female, you also have what many ( ... )
