To Whom It May Concern/Whoever happens to be in charge of this place.

Please stop sending in gorgeous men that I can't have.

Sincerely,

Isabel.

	I am sorry to hear that you are lonely. Men can be very unkind. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That is an understatement for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose things have not changed since my day in that respect. You yearn for friendship, for companionship, for love, and yet it so rarely seems that is what they desire. I have been lonely a very long time, even though I have had male companionship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It can all be summed up in two simple words. Men suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, and yet we cannot stop yearning for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's like they say. Can't live with them, can't live without them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What man has scorned your attentions? You seem a lovely girl; it is their loss, most assuredly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isabellane 2013-01-09 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	It's not really that somebody has scorned my attentions so much as it is that they seem to find other women first. Thank you. I appreciate that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I doubt that I shall ever find a man to love me. I am very much what they called 'damaged goods', and I am very broken inside. Good men - the type that love you for more than your body - do not want a girl like me. But friendship is better than nothing, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good men, the type that love you for more than your body, will love you no matter what your history because they are good men. Don't count them out so quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think that, in truth, there are very few good men in this world. Perhaps they are simply something we create in our minds so that our future does not seem so bleak. The men I have known have been selfish and cruel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think, perhaps, that you are very right in that. I do not believe we have met? My name is Briseis, formerly of Lyrnessus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My name is Isabel. Formerly of Texas. It's nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do not know your kingdom, but there are many things here I do not know. I wish you all the luck, and for love to find you when you least expect it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isabellane 2013-01-09 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	It's not a kingdom, it's a state. Didn't exist back in your day, I imagine. Thank you. You too. Maybe both of us will end up happy some day. And we can have tea and laugh about how ridiculous we were "back then" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You would be welcome to come over for tea whenever you wish, Miss Isabel. You needn't wait for then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I appreciate the offer, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mademoiselle, I thought very much the same thing, and I assure you, I am much more "damaged". But after years of waiting and doubting, there was one woman who fell in love with me in spite of everything. I am very sure that you will be blessed with a man to take care of you, though it may come unexpectedly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-09 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	You are a lucky man, sir, and I am glad that you have found your happiness. But a damaged man is far more reparable than a damaged woman. I have been a slave and a concubine, and any man looking for love would not look twice at me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I suppose I am. For many years I have lived my life in solitude, but she has changed me. And thank you very much.

Dear, sweet woman, I was born deformed, rejected since the day I was born. That is hardly repairable. But you seem to be very kindhearted and you do possess beauty. There will be a man where the past doesn't matter, only the current moment and the future.

	I do hope so, but I will not wait for it. Love has always eluded me, and I fear that I know best how to be alone. I shall not scorn it if I find it, but neither will I live in anticipation. The world is too cruel for everyone to find happiness. But as I said, I am happy for you, happy indeed. Those who have known only cruelty deserve to find joy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish you the best of luck, mademoiselle. I am sure you will do just fine. Merci beaucoup. My name is Erik if you ever wish to talk again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My name is Briseis, and I should be glad to talk again sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A pleasure to make your acquaintance. (Reply to this) (Parent)
