i'm really tired of being friends with people who aren't happy for me when i am happy. i'm tired of thinking that people i am close to secretly hate me when things are going well in my life. i have a nice boyfriend and have achieved moderate success in various photography-related things, but i feel bad about it. i realized that's not good at all

Icons, page eight and nine. :D

Also, I get where you're coming from re feeling bad about doing well. I'm still searching for a job, but my husband and I are doing well because since he's been deployed (just over five months now), I've gone out less, spent less frivolously, and paid bills on time. Now we're at the point where we're paying extra on our credit cards and slowly purchasing furniture, and on my flist I'm seeing friends who are worried about losing their jobs, who have lost their jobs, who are worried about being able to stay in college, etc., and I feel guilty for doing well during this financial meltdown.

I, for one, am happy for you--you've earned your success!

haha i'm one of those whose worried about being able to stay in college, but thankyou! i'm glad you're doing well too.

and the icons are wonderful, as usual. :]

And thanks! *grins*

That's a great mix! Thank you for sharing it :)

Btw, that new Neko Case is amazing! (I'm listening to it right now.) I think I like it even more than "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood". And I like a lot the interview she did for NPR, too: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101246137

Also, I have a little confession: I've been lurking on your Flickr page (which is absolutely amazing; you're obviously very creative and have a developed aesthetic sense) for quite a while now. So, I think I'll finally add you as a contact :D

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention sth: I'm "plectrudis" on Flickr.

[lullabyexile]

Cutting bad people out feels difficult at first but honestly, you can live without them =) Like Dr. Seuss says "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind".
I hope you are well in inverness and thank you for the mix.

[lullabyexile]
