No evil
I was thinking this morning, about everything that's been happening this week. It's been a crap week, that much is obvious, and I take it it hasn't gotten much better for a lot of people. At the same time, thinking about everything that's happened and what I've been reading on the boards, people are helping each other through the hurt and sticking together and that's... well, a really good thing, I think.

Whatever Lucifer is trying to do, right now, it's kind of destined to backfire. Isn't it? So many people here have loved ones from home, and if not, friends they've made here. People who understand and who care and are willing to listen or talk or bring you ice cream or get drunk with you or whatever. We can help each other, and we care about each other, and that's exactly what we need to keep doing. It's not all that different from what I was facing back home, and the people in my life were what got me through back there. At least for when I was there.

I don't know. I'm just feeling weirdly optimistic and frankly more like myself for a change. I'm sure it's not going to stick, and I'm not about to let my guard down over it. But dwelling on the bad parts is just going to make it worse. No one wants that.

I'm sorry

I'm assuming you've talked to Mum. How are you two holding up? I still have no idea what to say to her.
