I am definitely glad you posted this. It made me happy, very happy. After very long and painful time, when I was trying hard to go back to writing, to any sort of writing...this is the best reward.

I never thought about you you were acting ass-kissing :) On the contrary, almost: you act older than you are. I use to say that I require three things from people around me: be interesting in some way, be smart and have sense of humor. Lucky me: I got you.

Somehow, you manage to "sense" what I am trying to express with my writing. Maybe you remember, maybe you don't: on my old LJ, there was a story, I guess it was...4000 rainy nights. And there was a part which repeated itself, and you wrote to me: "It's like a song. Like a refrain to some song." That was it. I was aware that I had something on my mind when I was writing on that story, yet I was not sure what it was. And you told me. You showed me.

I am sorry that you feel stressed lately. I've been put under stress for nearly 2 years until my body and mind couldn't take it anymore and I collapsed. Some people might laugh at this and consider it being some lame excuse for laziness or whatever. But it is not.

You know, when I was picking up the theme I wanted to write, I saw "drunken nights" and I was like "omg,what the hell am I supposed to write here?! This is no booze advertisement!" But then...I just sit in the garden. I took a few deep breaths, I could smell the mint shampoo on my hair...I listened to some music...and then, I told myself: okay, now write what you feel right now.

I was...angsty, I suppose. But when writing on this story, I calmed down. And I am only happy to hear that it had similar effects on someone else, too.

Once again...thank you. You made me very happy.

People tell me I've always tended to act older than my age. (Academically and mentally.)

I've realized that I'm very in tuned to the things around me. Empathic almost I guess. My psychiatrist said I could be an indigo child (didn't know what she was talking about at the time but I researched it, and maybe I am, who knows).
I do remember that. (Maybe not clearly right now but I do remember.)

I know. It's most definitely not. I've struggled through downhill snowballing depression for three years and for three years before that almost numb auto-pilot surviving. I've tried to be a hero, a victim, a clown, a parent, a lost child, and now I feel like I'm trying on scapegoat.
I'm sorry you were stressed for 2 years.
Laziness and other habits a person develops when stressed are acquired as a self preservation/defense mechanism. If you're lazy you aren't required to deal with some things and so it shallowly fixes the problem for only a short amount of time.
Sometimes I think to the people who are like that "Just you try feeling what I'm feeling, and have been feeling, for only a day and you'll go mad."
It reminds me of that phrase "Never judge a man until you've walked two moons in their moccasins." Have you ever heard something like that before?

...It's funny but like you said I could "sense" that leftover angstiness too. I just didn't know how to explain it in words.
