Faulkner says good-bye to the south.

By Michael Gatton

As a young writer, the place I was raised holds special importance to me. It’s like a first love, something that’s difficult to give up, but to hold on slowly kills you. My soul aches at the thought of Vero Beach these days. It has become a place I can’t bear any longer.

this is too bad considering the times we have.

prometheus818 February 1 2005, 22:28:17 UTC

I absolutely agree.

also, i'd like to take what appears to be my last chance to say this: people who love you don't kill you! they make you live. and just because some of your friends have not found a chance to take time out of their own lives to visit you doesn't mean they didn't all want to visit or care about you. seriously, there are bigger things in life than that and some of us have dealt with them. if you think having true friends is one of the most important things in life, then you are absolutely right.. and ditching many of the people that truly cared about you is not a good way to find true friends, only a good way to lose them. i think all you will find with this is pain and loneliness and i feel sorry for you.

What do you think led to this? Something other than pain and lonliness? Because that's all I had going for me. And what good are people who "care about you" if time after time, they aren't there for you when you need them? You act like I haven't dealt with bigger things in life. What the fuck do you know about my life? I would wager that I've dealt with everything you've dealt with, and that I've dealt with these things ALONE. And I'm tired of it.

With friends like that, who needs friends?

I'm sorry to hear that this is your last post. I'll really miss reading you. I can't really respond to most of what you've written here without sounding presumptuous, because I'm not from Vero Beach, but I hope you find what you're looking for.

Thank you.

I heard about Nolan. I used to work with him at Barnie's. I didn't know him too well, and it upsets me that i didn't get to know him better. he was always great to be around, though. Even though we don't talk too much, i still miss you. take care, and come to gainesville sometime ;)

You're one of the one's who got away. I miss you, too, you know.

Sorry I didn't know you earlier. anonymous February 3 2005, 15:58:08 UTC

I may not know you, and this may merely be a stumbled upon page, but serendipidous moments have their way of presenting themselves in strange ways. This online journalling is a funny thing. We believe ourselves to be surrounded and yet completely distant. This world of the challenges that we face everyday, important and somehow ignored. Bravo, sir, Bravo. The most beautiful things in life are out there, not in here, and the people that will change your world are not in this box, in your head. People that matter the most are the ones standing right beside you, even if they aren't always the clearest or the most interesting. Even if it doesn't always make sense. This is the most beautiful post I've ever read, and thank you for writing it.
Good luck, young sir. Best of luck, and know that even those fighting against you may be rooting for you in their heart.

Thank you.

I want to say more, but for once, my words fail me.

oh the fucking drama of it all!

prometheus818 February 5 2005, 12:12:23 UTC

Now that's just childish. So, here's another bit of childishness.

"i shouldn't have to define these, but i feel the need right now.
love means understanding and not expecting anything out of anyone right now, making sure your friends are doing as well as possible."

Good thing you defined it there kiddo. 'Cause I'm not sure you could find that definition anywhere in any dictionary. Oh, the fucking drama of it all!

celticdruid February 6 2005, 07:39:10 UTC

why do you have to be such a cocksucker to people who are going through hard times? i don't actually care what the answer to that question is. the whole point of that post was to explain to people like you what those people need right now. and i apparently DID need to define it for those people, because i see no semblance of "love" in any of them.
