>This< has been my theme song for the last month, I am willing to share it with you.
You know how I feel about you. The past is the past. All we can do it learn and grow from it. I missed out on an opportunity for a long time...and I'm glad that's changed.
You're great woman, a great mother and a awesome friend who gives kick ass advise.
It has taken me a long time to ignore internet people and all the hateful things they say. But, I do. Because I know the people who truly matter are there when I need them the most…which is often.

That's deep stuff Meems.~*~
It's like 40 God-dammed loonies running around cackling with potato peelers in their hands raking slivers of flesh off my body. And I understand.
Miss you, too.

Meems ...
It's like 40 God-dammed loonies running around cackling with potato peelers in their hands raking slivers of flesh off my body. When I read this I thought.. yes they are taking slivers.. but what they expose is the most wondermous and beautimous being that one can imagine... like peeling the rough exterior off an avocado (mmm 'cados rocks btw ) to expose the soft juicy gooey fruit pulp that makes my mouth water just thinking of it .. you are like that except its your writing that makes my mouth water in anticipation....your strength shines through past the scars my dear... past the rough exterior to the creamy goodness that is you

Thank you for putting to words the thoughts I have had scrambling around in my mind for months. Since cancer nothing has been the same for me in my head....so many things in and out of my mind and no way to put the right descriptions to them... I may be able to now and I give you the credit for that, along with some deep soul searching.
We aren't close.. not even on each others "list" but I do admire, respect and like you.. for all of the right reasons
Reading, music and writing are all my "tools of therapy" as they appear to be for you also
Keep on being you..no matter what

They want to see me fall.
They want to see me bleed.
They want to nudge people out of their way with their elbows to get a good gander at me crawling
I f@cking love you too...I admired you before...This made me love you though...I was open with you and never once did I even think you would betray what I told you. That's rare because I trust no one.
...You are brilliant...You could write a menu and I'd still read it.
People want to see me fall and bleed to...I won't let them though. I will not f@cking let them.

Do you know that besides my friend Ken, you are the only person that I have known from online that hasn't used me in some way? As fodder. Gossip. For attention.
That hurt.

People who can sniff out the designer perfume but would rather have extra butter on their garlic bread.
Now,, that is just freaking great.
Put this on your back burner,,, a slow simmer,,, that requires no stirring,,, and it will be ready when you are,,,,
just because you hit the top of one set of stairs,,, does not mean you can't change stairs,,, and continue to climb.

YOU are not an online friend. We have talked on the phone and gotten personal. Thomas...we only write one another.
You ARE one of the few that is real. You KNOW this. You know how much bullshit is out there. Online dating? It's a mother f***ing joke sister.
I'm sorry you were hurt...but our relationship transcends this blog. Again....you are NOT an online friend. You are the one holding the popcorn and reading me the last page of the Stephen King book even when I beg you to stop.
And this will get posted on my blog.
I love you girl.....

YOU are really an EXCELLENT writer! You can get the message across to anybody. Online friends are just that. We have no clue who or what they are really actually about. At least, not until it turns into a real friendship of taking things one step further.....like the phone calls. That is the next step. It becomes more real for me anyway. Even then, it can turn out badly. But because we sometimes do have that extra between us, we tend to open up a little more with each other and become closer in our friendships.
Great blog, Meem......

some of us DO talk too much...meaning we tell it like it is...when and where it is....and regret what we said too late cause it has been said...but that is who we are! love us as we are ...or get out of the way!!!
There are some writers on here that are REAL people exposing their soul...and other people can't see the blood and tears....
Rave on...and on....and read those stories and write more stories....we will read yours and others.....and even write some of our own!!!

Is this the "Doubting Thomas" letter?
Or is this the affirmation of Ken?
Either way, I wish you good luck!

come now doll, you have learned a lot here, you have also taught but you must be honest and say you have learned too. so why would you walk away from that? consider this: is it perhaps because you are looking for a soul in friends online? or what?
i havent been online too long, but i learned quick. if you take the real out and see everyone as virtual angels, or virtual devils, or virtual goblins, pixies, gnomes, org, cherub, etc ............................................................ then you begin to paint your own picture. and learn more
try it.... make mischief

And now...now I look at these people who I really thought I cared about so deeply and my eyes are slanty. I take a bite of my (super soft on the inside) bread and and I believe 5% of everything they say. I don't trust them. Who the merry hell would?
Out of your entire blog, this is the part that hit home for me. While I'm far from being an eloquent person like yourself, I do know something of betrayal. But it's times like that when your true friends emerge. And it appears you have plenty of those.

I've had great friendships started on the internet. Some that have lasted until this very second. I've had others that flamed hot, then fizzled quickly.
Of the people I've corresponded with on this and other places on the web, you are among an elite few who wasn't afraid to start up a conversation with me. For that, I'm thankful.
And, so it goes...

So I get your email and I devour it no less than 3 times over the past few days. I feel no urgency at writing you back. I feel no urgency to have contact with anyone. It's not even so much that I cringe at the thought of "virtual contact" anymore...it's more that I just can't get it up to get the job done. And yet...I don't feel guilt, stress or embarrassment in the least.
Apathy? Remorse? Repulsion? None of those either. Frankly, I just want to make a squash, build a nest and read a book. And yes, I realize that is the beginning signs of madness, and yet again, I couldn't be more unconcerned.
Hm, first of all... NOT feeling guilt, stress or embarrassment is a sign of HEALING! Madness? No...loss of anxiety.Remember...HEALING...you healed. And yes, all the horrible stuff ....wiped you clean of all that old shit...the insecurities and you now are a member of the part of the human race that LOVES itself...all of itself...not those parts that apease others. You are a whole person, now and no longer NEED to please someone else. 
I have never removed someone because someone else insisted I do it. If they embarrassed me too much, I delete them. Or if they piss me off too much or get under my skin too much. I refuse to be associated with someone that does things that horrify me. That reminds me, I need to remove a racist off my FB friend's list. He grosses me OUT! 
You are doing fine. You are super! Kick ass, Baby. Kick the rest of that dead chrysalis off and spread your gorgeous wings. I think I need to redo you as a fabulous butterfly!

I had a yen to write something similar myself and maybe I still will.
I can't say internet dating is a joke because it brought me and Chris together but I completely understand what you're saying because I think our relationship is an exception rather than the rule. I also feel my experience with friendships has been a horrible let-down.
Like you, I have never been able to write in any other way than from my heart, but for some that isn't enough and others end up using our openness as a stick to beat us with.
There have been many who despite my efforts to communicate have made it clear they aren't prepared to exchange more than the time of day and the occasional good wish. It's hard not to wonder what it is about me that prevents them from wanting a more open dialogue when they clearly have that with others.
There were those who I believed would be friends, even if only on line, for the rest of my life. It's hard for me not to feel hurt and misunderstood when someone who said they valued my friendship and support decides to make a snap judgement and end it ... even if the build up to that moment had been draining for me too ... The difference between us being though there had been many times in the past I'd been tempted to jump ship because I wasn't in complete agreement or thought they were obsessing, I always put myself in their shoes, considered what was going on with them and assumed they were just switching focus for a while in order to cope ... we all have our moments of madness.
Friendship isn't about always being in agreement, it's about being tolerant when we're not because we care, and seeing that friend safely out the other side of they're going through. I do this naturally, even though I sometimes fight it because I wonder when they'll find fault in me and bail like so many before them.
Foolishly I hoped I'd get the same support from them but only came up against judgement as they took the opportunity to say "bye bye, I wish you well on your journey".
I'm disillusioned to say the least, not only by my own experience but by the content of this blog. There are few on MD I would have put hand on heart and said "what you see is what you get ... and it's all good because they have nothing to hide ... they're proud of who they are, warts and all ... and I'd be happy to take them into my confidence because I know it will go no further" ...
You are one of the few, Miriam and I'm sorry so many have abused your great qualities.
You are quite simply a shining star amongst the crap that still prevails on this site ... I hope you continue to bless us with your presence.
