On Broken Brains

[ianvass]

 These past 2 - 2 1/2 years have been brutal for me, interpersonally. I have lost several friends with several more heading out. I have watched as many of my closest relationships have deteriorated, and several potential relationships with new people have been poisoned before they even started.

One of the frustrating parts to me is the timing of it

For what it's worth, in the short time we knew you, you never seemed off to us. Maybe that's because we're a little crazy/weird ourselves. Hahaha.

Heh. :)

I've gotten significantly worse in the past 2-3 years. It's always been there, but at the same time, not every single relationship got twisted, either. You guys were great! :)

Speaking of broken brains and and social integration(in your case meaning the ability to write) it looks like you are doing very well when you are talking (writing) about yourself. I am like that also. How are you at putting yourself into another character's shoes? A short writing here and there about the experiences or feelings, etc. of someone else like your departed friends might expand the depth of your understanding of others as well as revealing yourself to yourself.GMA

Well, I wrote this long after I'd been on the bike for a while, so writing is already coming easier. And I'd be journaling more often if writing about myself was easy. :)

But I need to be journaling more often anyhow now that things are clearing up!
