moving on/the hardest game of 52 card pick up

[perpetuating]

Every year around New Years I try and recap what happened that year and I thought this year I would try to remember everything, pick up all of the scattered pieces that exist within the realms of my memory and write them down so that when my memory starts to go I will have a chance at remembering what was once my life

Wow, Simone. You have a tremendous amount of courage and spirit to write about this, something that I do not have.

I have gone through a fair amount of shit, but nothing to the extent that you have. Those few times I met you, you seemed so full of life and happy to live and breathe and love. I would've never known.

Keep going, girl.

i read that whole thing, and wow, girl, you've been through a lot.
you're a very strong person, simone.
i'm proud of you, even though i haven't known you that long.

every time i read your entries i find myself crying, or at least teary-eyed. partially because i miss you so much and it hurts that we have lost touch. but mostly because you are one of the most beautiful people i have ever come in contact with--physically, mentally, and emotionally. i look up to you, because you truly touch people. you touched me, and for a month of my life i felt beautiful. to this very day, a part of me always strives to be like you.

"I love my life. I love the life I have led, and I would not change it for anything. I have been lucky. And I am happy."

that is so wonderful to hear. you are wonderful.
i love you, simone.
