I call this less food for thought, more swallowing razorblades. But...that's just me.

I always love your little random posts.

*coughs up razorblade*

But you know, I don't relate to the quote at all. Nope, not even a little.

No, you're not alone with that assessment. I was talking with a friend of mine about some stuff after rehearsal, and he recited this quote. it struck a chord with me, and I remember standing there as he said it, and swallowing really hard afterwards. Like razorblades. Exactly.

I love that you love them.

*holds her hand out to catch the razorblade and hands you a tissue*

Nope, didn't think you did. Neither did I; I just thought it was pretty. *snorts*

*hugs and kisses*

I have a question.

Does he mean "deserving" in the manner that we deserve to be destroyed? Or that we deserve to be loved?

Because I, as you well know, am one of those.

Deserving meaning "to be loved," but also "selfless," really. It means that we put ourselves out there, trying to help, support, be there for a person, and nevertheless, that person destroys us.

I've heard this quote a few times, one of them, actually, to help explain the relationship between an addict and his/her enabler. Even though the enabler is just trying to help, their relationship with the addict destroys them, and does no good to either of them.

In short, "bad shit happens to good people."

I know you're one of those, heila; so am I. Which is why, I think, when I was talking to my friend one night about the shit that's been happening lately, this is what he came back to me with.

Rakastan sua, kultaseni.

Ah. Yes. I must agree.

But there are so many kinds of addictions--mine are Vam (slash in general really), friends, and music.

And then there's the hidden ones. Like affection. And food. And sleep. Because really, I think this smidgen of depression is always haunting me because of all the shit in my life, and all those obsessions with things that have nothing to do with me keep it just that smidgen.

Bad shit happens to good people. Man, I must be a saint. And you, you must be a goddess herself--even your health took that shitty vacation on you.

Rakastan sua, hunaja.

*snuggles and kisses and buries face in your hair*
