so, i am bad at leaving comments. i read a lot but rarely comment. this is mostly due to the fact that i let a lot of fic pile up before i start reading, and then everyone else has commented to say what i wanted to say, but sometimes it's just because i don't have anything to say.

this is neither of these times.

i don't know what made me click on the comm tonight, considering i haven't been 'round in weeks, but i did and i am insanely happy i did (which is an odd things to say, considering the angst factor). a lot of angsty fics give me that horrible feeling in my chest, where i just ache for the characters and what they are doing/feeling/saying/hearing... but this was the first to make me actually cry. maybe because i can relate to it so well; maybe because i see a lot of myself in rachel. not that i would let someone get away with cheating, but most of the time, i feel i am doomed to a life like this; consistently falling for people i know that i feel more for than they do for me, but unable to help myself even so.

in short; fantastic job, keep it up.

Preach.

I once read in a book that the people you love and the people that love you are never, ever the same. Sometimes I think that's very true.

Thanks for reading.
