Wow!

It's astonishing. I truly have been given a gift in this life. I've been able to witness so many people go through bizarre, self-destructive phases for varying reasons. I can't help but wonder when I'll go through mine, but I'm beginning to think that I have no reason to, considering how many I've witnessed first-hand. Pyschology is so

'Shackled her for years and years' eh? That must have been terrible.

[omikro]

It wasn't! But it was still psychologically binding, and not in a necessarily bad way. I know they had a wonderful relationship for years, and to be perfectly honest, I always envied that of them. I think 'shackled' was a bad word to use.

Also, I have little understanding of what really went down, and I do know that there was a great deal of emotional investment on her part, as well as the part of the person whom she was involved with. This investment creates obligations, committments, etc. The 'shackles' I spoke of. It's not bad, it's just a double edged sword. I didn't mean to make it sound bad...

It's not necessarily my business, either, I'm just thinking out loud!

Aye, well said, friend. You've always proven very insightful in your posts, and you make many good points in this one. I know similar worry, as while the ability to celebrate one's freedom is a wonderful thing, it's very easy to lose sight of responsibility at the same time. It is but another, natural stage of self-discovery, and not one every person can identify with. Should there be need to worry about any self-destructive tendencies, then that's when friends like you and I step in and guide best we can without interfering too much, eh?

Also, we're of the dying breed of Romantic men. We never follow our own advice. XD

All in all, I'm not worried about her or any of my other friends. Through experience I've pretty much learned to leave 'em be and let them do what they feel they need to do. The burned hand teaches best, I always like to say. Thanks for the compliment, by the way, I think that's the first time anyone has ever referred to me as 'insightful'!

And I think we're just a dying breed, period. There are some statistics that lead me to believe the male gender as we know it is going extinct... kind of disconcerting.

Hrmm, Well I take your advice extremely highly my friend, if you haven't been able to tell in the past. And I had wondered what happened to Anthony myself, Being away makes it hard to hear things you know? Kinda hear bits and pieces over time and it all comes together like those photographic movies where you see a flower grow...just goes...*poof* really fast development with little detail. *sigh* Strange analogy but yeah. A year and a few months!!! Then I shall be liberated from the hell I brought myself into. ^.^ Oh....have I gone through such horrific changes? Or any that I am not aware of? I would like your input on that one. Thanks bro!

To be honest Sean, you've been a great guy for as long as I've known you, and I don't think you'll ever change, because you don't need to. You're a pretty prime example of what a human being should be, and I've always admired you for that. You've got a great soul, my friend. I wouldn't change you for the world, and niether should you!

Thanks! *is a tad red from blushing* Didn't expect that but thank you bro. Hope to catch you when I come visit in June. around the 5th or so I am aiming for.
