Dreams and not-dreams

I suppose - and if you've ever had a burnt crème brulée, then you know this to be true - that the sweeter something was, the more bitter its ashes taste

beautiful writing. you captured so many years and emotions in relatively few words. i related with so much of that. i'm glad you've found your way back to happy. :)

I am glad, my dear, that the ash buffet is finally closed.

And fwiw I have always hated that Steven Stills song.

p.s. Cheers <3

Jen, I don't think anyone could possibly give me a better compliment! Thank you!

That's a powerful dream. I'm also waiting for my heart to come back; return to sender, heh.

There was so much about this entry that I can relate to, right down to that song being something I've thought about a lot and how I loved it when I was a kid, and that it's ironic because it still fits and became my anthem for such a long time.

I'm very glad for you that you have honey now. :)

i don't want to not respond simply because i can't be as eloquent as this post.

so let me just say:

yay.
