Life is Cool!

May 24, 2006 12:04

I've been feeling kind of down lately, like I don't have any friends and that I don't matter in the greater scheme of things (which I know is a lie; we all matter; I know that). I haven't been taking care of myself like I should, Tree is going through Pre-Teen Hormone Hell, and work and school are stressing out Stormie. The only thing that keeps ( Read more... )

life, family, poetry

Dude SFU sounds wicked freaky!! That was all in the same episode? I think I need to start watching this show!! WOW!

That was cool of that guy to give you that book of his mom's (how ambiguous does that sound lol)

I really like that last poem. It does remind me of a nice warm day...

*hugs*

I think you would like it. They leave nothing out and the truth is always there, or always comes out, even if the characters try to bury or ignore it. They explore everything: mental illness, adultery, sex addiction, biracial gay couples, violence against gays, drugs, alcohol, murder...nothing is off limits. The creator is Alan Ball, the same guy who wrote the movie "American Beauty." If you saw and liked that movie, you'll probably enjoy SFU. The actress who played a main character in AB appears in a few SFU episodes.

Oooh, do I know how you feel!

I left the church of my upbringing in November of 2004, a month after I turned 18, and proceeded to move in with Nick. All of the close friends I had are at church, and church is their life, as it used to be mine (not all particularly by choice.) When I left, I went from seeing and talking to my friends every day, to maybe seeing or talking to them once a month, if that.

It was very, very depressing, and still is if I dwell on it, but with the new house and my kitties and going here and there with family things, I've gotten better.

It's harder for me to make new friends now, but I am trying.

I loved that "Fireflies" poem. I might stick that in my journal, if you don't mind =)

No problem! I got it from the Writer's Almanac's daily poem e-mail.

Hmmm, I wonder when the Raven will start pecking at our e-mail box? *excited but impatient* :-)

Great poems. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome! I like the cats rolling on the rugs. So calming. :-)

I remember that episode. I believe I exclaimed when he killed himself. The way I interpreted the scene was that he killed Lisa.

I have been feeling the same way about myself & my friends lately. I spoke to the friends I really feel close to, and my fears were eased.

Take heart.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I'm curious about how it happened. Did he kill her, then dump the body, or drown her? It must have been impossible for them to tell whether she was murdered after she'd been in the water for so long. Lots of unanswered questions.

Thanks for the support. I get this way sometimes, feeling like I don't deserve any friends. It's easy to be a loner but hard (and lonely) at the same time.
