0182: "Hey, limbic system? Could you stop cranking out this sad feeling I'm experiencing?"

[rewritethepast]

Congratulations. Even though many people have made me angry, sad, a combination of the two, no one has made me so mad, sad, overcome with emotion, to scream at him or her in front of a class. (Even in the Darkest Days of the STR Research saga, no, I never screamed at one of my groupmates in front of the class and our teacher - who would be

i get that the world cannot say anything to make you feel significantly better, i'm just hoping the comment makes a teeny bit of difference.

Hey.

Yeah, it does make a difference. Thank you.

BTW, I hope you got my text greeting you on your first day of legality. If not, err, belated happy 1st day of legality. ^^

^^ is feeling a little better today probably because there is no test today, just one lecture class.

You're welcome :)

Hee, docturnal. That's a nice word :) I want to be just one of the two, but I still have at least two weeks to go (counting the rest of this week)...

Hope you're all right over there. :)

Sorry Lorraine...

First of all, I am appalled by the way some of us treated you, the way I treated you. Perhaps I can attribute this to either my desensitation or my newly acquired and recently fortified numbness. Yet I do take responsibility and I offer my sincerest apology.

Second, I hope that someday we can truly make amends and not forget this incident (no never forget) but rather learn to appreciate each other's hard work.

Sorry Lorraine, I admit we all make mistakes sometimes but I hope you can find it in your heart to continue this journey with us. :D

-Miguel.

First of all, I thank you for your commenting. That's a really brave thing to do, given that this is a public post and given your message in particular. The few people who talked to me about this, they all hid under the cloak of texting and personal one-on-one conversations. (I don't belittle their efforts -just the fact that they tried is already much appreciated-, I feel a bit better because of them -though the sadness doesn't really seem to want to go away- but you gave away your identity to the readers of this blog. That's something already for me

Well, I have always been a fan of your blog.

Let this comment then be a public testament to not forgetting. I don't think this page will ever be erased (unless in some dystopic future people purge the internet of emotion).

I think it's natural to feel sadness. Sir Jal even said we are an emo culture. We connect sadness to reality. In the Matrix, (sorry, nerdness) the architect said we humans are unable to accept the perfect world, paradise because we'll tell ourselves it isn't real. Well perhaps, it is natural to feel the sadness. I am happy that you had an ideal image of us, me as your blockmate (i can't presume to speak for everyone) and once again I apologize.

I will hold on to the fact that you are Lorraine, and you can surely survive this. So, I will be waiting patiently for the time when you'll be ready.

P.S. thank you. :)

Who knows, Livejournal might go under. >_< You're pretty much right, though
