Feeling a little down.... ok, a lot.

In the last couple of years I've been learning a lot about my expectations of people. Mostly that I have too many, and that they are set too high. They're the kind of thing I took for granted, not really putting conscious thought to them. They were just a part of the way I thought things were. I've been so wrong about so many things. I've been so

I think that ANYONE would have been hurt by something like that. What your family member did is really passive-aggressive, but perhaps that letter was just her venting. I know it's hard not to take something like that personally, but know that her perception of you is also reflective of her self-perception. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they interpret and see things.

And yes, it hurts when people don't accept you for who you are. When that happens, focus on the people who DO love and accept you, and just remember that you're very grateful to have them in my life.

I know how you feel, as similar things have happened to me, and the same thoughts and emotions have gone through my mind afterwards. I think that even the people who you think are the most wonderful and/or perfect experience this, and the challenge is to not take it to heart. It's not entirely you, it's them, too.

I meant "your life", not "my life"

Hey Sweetie,

You know, it's possible that she was simply pissed at that moment and she was just venting. Why not sit down with her and confront her? Why not ask V if she has shown any of this type of feeling/or lack thereof, for you in front of him? If this is a one time thing, then she was probably venting and it doesn't represent any long term feelings.

How did you come across a two year old letter? To whom was it sent?

I'm so sorry to know you are hurting dear. It does seem like you've had more than your share in the past couple of years. Hugs to you, V and Xerxes.

Hey T. Steampunk is so much fun! I really do hope you can decorate your place like that...And send me pictures!

You know, I really wish you were my BFF and none of that other stuff ever happened! A good friend is so much better!
