I have a lot of friends who are hurting lately. They are hurting in a myriad of different ways. Relationships are not happening or ending or rocky or just generally hard. Some are having rough times with kids or lack of kids. Jobs are not terribly stable. Living situations are not terribly stable. People are feeling lonely or sad or depressed or anxious.
I’m going to steal words from a friend for a minute, because they are good words: I love all of you, even those I don’t.
If you read this and you need to talk to someone, I’ll listen. I can do it without giving advice or criticism. No really, I can. 🙂 If you just can’t handle it in the middle of the night–it’s ok to call. Many of you have supported me through my darkest days and the only way I can repay my debt to the universe is to pass on that support. I would like to be able to fulfill my debt someday and it’s going to happen piece by piece. Maybe starting with you.
You rock.
that is all I have to say aboot that!!

Thank you. I may take you up on this, although my relationship stuff is good. (It’s my body/self-image stuff, and history around poverty that’s currently eating my brain…and you’re one of the few people I know who I know I can talk frankly to about it.)

Dude, watch out – are you ready for the 3am call?
Oh how I crack myself up

Ever since I lost a good friend to a bicycle accident, I make a point of telling people I care. This is a nice way to do that too.
As for me: life is peachy. I’m sorry to hear of the challenges so many are having but I wanted you to know there are some of us that are thriving. I don’t take that for granted. I feel very fortunate. I wanted to say this to maybe add a bit of a bright spot to your day.
I’m glad LJ has made us part of each others lives in some small way.
Thank you 🙂

I just want to say, that you have more than once already come through for me when I’ve needed you, needed an ear, needed some good advice, or needed a kick in the head. You’ve listened to me from at least three different continents, and if I run into any trouble this year, that’ll make it four. 🙂 I value and am grateful your friendship, and I also appreciate your sense of humor. So, I’m acknowledging your efforts on my behalf to that debt to the universe!
