I am living proof that God is a spiteful, vindictive creature

Late last night, I logged into LJ to read the comments left on my previous entry about feeling utterly defeated. The two comments left were from my brother and my best friend. Both of whom inflated my ego to Costco-sized proportions and inspired me to do something about making my life better, and I wanted to do so as soon as humanly possible. Let

Yes, I agree that you deserve some time to grieve over the loss of your car. In fact I didn't even realize that the car was totalled by your entry; I guess I thought it had just gotten damaged or something. I also concure that you journal is for you to vent any frustration in anyway you know how, but what I'm trying to explain is that eventually you will realize that you can endure a loss without so much suffering and without any of the physical symptoms you're experiencing, too. It takes time training your brain that way, like it does any other part of your body. Also, not that it really matters, but I handle the loss of things pretty differently than that. If my condo and jazz went up in flames, my reaction would seriously be a lot different than you think. Not because I'm saying I'm like some high and mighty person that's so much better or something, but because I don't get attached to things very easily, not even my cat. But that's another story (I don't have the bond with Jazz that you have with Sanani). I can't say whether or not it's better, just different I guess. So having said that, it does make it easier for me to preach that the losses aren't as bad as they seem. There is still opportunity to be grateful for the fact that you are still alive and in relatively good health, with friends and family that love you. I would say you are a rich, rich man. That's just what I believe.

It's right now that I've come to fully understand why we never got along, truly. Like when we were living together and that's just because the little tiny idiosyncrasies that control our lives and actions aren't even remotely similar. You don't have a single Cancer trait in your body. I however, am practically the uber-Cancer. Just about everything that I do or that happens to me has an emotional side effect, some that are stronger than others. As for my car, I'm not sure if it's entirely totaled, but if the frame bent when the axle broke, then it will be. I'm not sure until the guys at the shop give me a call back. I hope to get one by Tuesday.
