(no subject)
My parents are back. That is both happy and relieving. And it's a relief because I don't have to get up at 6:30 in the morning anymore to do chores. I don't mind picking up some slack while they're gone, but waking up at 6:30 or 7 *just* to feed my dog and/or Walkersit is tiring. I need to catch up on sleep.
Well, in other news, I am going to write today. It has been determined, I will not avoid it. But before I do, I'm going to try this thingy:
Pick ANY 20 LJ-users. Say something (something = good, nice) to or about them without revealing who. Be expressive.
1. We haven't seen each other for a very long time, but I hope you are enjoying life. You always seemed to take it and emotions too seriously, so I hope that burden has been lifted for you. I always admired your passion.
2. I am glad this year has happened to you, because it seems to have liberated you. You seem to have realized you don't have to be so G.D. nice all the time, and that's a great realization. Keep being who you are, along with showing all the emotions that make you human.
3. I always wondered whether you would have let me get closer to you. You always had that mask of yours, but I still saw your concern for others peek through it. At any rate, I enjoyed our talks.
4. Gah! Why did you have to go where you are? I know why you did, but that means I couldn't get to know you better. You are strong and incredibly talented, and I miss you.
5. Sometimes I wish I could bridle your emotions, but I am not in a position to do that; and I wouldn't do it even if I were. Because that is what makes you you. But please realize that many of those concerns will dwarf in time, and are not worth all the energy. It will make smiling that great smile of yours easier.
6. It is ridiculous how often we have missed each other. I have learned as much from your LJ entries as from what people have told me. But that person who I have read about I would dearly like to meet, because I have the nagging feeling you will inspire me.
7. Don't be so damn hard on yourself. You have incredible gifts; don't be afraid to use them and enjoy their effects on others - including you.
8. I wish you believed in yourself more, because you are one of the most dynamic, strongest people I have ever met. I have seen the glimpses of what you can become, and it inspires me. I hope you see them too. And don't shy away from the love people give you; you truly deserve it, whether you'll let yourself accept that or not.
9. You were brave enough to reveal your life to me, and I never thanked you for it. Thank you. Again, I wish we could have gotten to know each other better, but I guess I wasn't the kind of person you needed at that point. And that is okay.
10. You can do anything with yourself, and you know that. I admire that in you. But I hope one day you will learn you can't do that with everyone around you.
11. I hope you will realize what kind of great person you can be once you stand on your own two feet.
12. You hold incredible talent and mirth, and I am glad you are realizing that. You deserve the love you receive, but don't forget about those nearby who love you, too.
13. Your wit helped me through some hard times, though you had no idea it did.
14. What a sweetie you are. There is little else to say.
15. You are so talented, and though we haven't spoken in a *long* time (and you'll probably never read this) - thank you for sharing with me, and the very best of luck to you.
16. There is great love in you. I am glad you gave me some of it, if only for a little while.
