indie,
i was just thinking to myself how completely hopeless i feel because i have no coffee. now, that's not all i don't have and that's not all of the story, but that's what it boils down to. i went to bed crying last night because i knew when i woke up this morning i'd have no coffee (and i live for coffee, it's the only reason i wake up in all honesty, or one of the few.) but, i did have very sweet dreams last night! so, that makes up for no coffee!
do you have something small like that, that makes life bearable at this point? i know they're very hard to name, but i KNOW they are there...
a friendly voice on the phone (if you say no, you just haven't found the right voice yet)ice cream (again, if you say no, you haven't found the right brand and flavor yet.. have you tried ben and jerry's (OMG! topamax! i loathe you! i've forgotten! falls! help! the kind with brownies, and chocolate, and fudge chunks... i'll post it in about 20 minutes, when it comes to me :)
now, i could suggest getting naked in swimming pools but others tend to frown on that one
music!!!!!!!
poetry

use the small things to get you through day to day. then, once you feel a bit stronger, finish your classes. (oh, and you said you would be happy if someone would ready your story and write back, remember? :)... are you happy yet?..) dear, i hope things get better for you. until they do, hold onto the small things, corny jokes (nice one jen star), old cards from friends and family (even i keep some of those, don't you? refer to them often), coffee first thing in the morning, sweet dreams, puppies (or kittens i guess if you are a cat person), the smell of fresh cut lawns, candy, hair bands (it's sometimes fun to sing old hair band songs even still), the fact that you've travelled (and the adventures you've had), and i know you still have some memories in your head that can bring a smile to your face even when you're crying, right? come on, i know you do... think of one right now.. if you can't imagine this.. my old man called me ungrateful 2 nights ago, so i decided not to eat (wouldn't want to be considered ungrateful, now would i? yes, i'm spiteful along with beautiful :))... so, he went to taco bell, bought a crapload (yes, that's a word) of tacos, gobbled them down very fast (while i lay in bed crying) and i awoke to him moaning 'oh, i'm so sick... i think i have food poisoning..' now, if that doesn't bring a smile to your face right now dear, you need to give me your number and i have a crapload of stories to tell you...
and i really do hope you can feel better soon. i know there's not an easy solution to this thing, but god i wish there was!
take care dear!
