You cared. Yes, I cared. And care. And sometimes, that's my downfall. Caring too much. But I'll always care about people who love feline fuzzbutts...and do whatever I can to get them through rough spots. You're cool for having a cat like Nitro, and for not giving up on her and taking advice from a stranger and doing all the things I suggested. That's what's cool.

People have a huge capacity to turn on others and screw them over, even those who really care. I have never seen that behavior in cats. Maybe that's why I'm "single with cats."

Michele 1 #31 March 18, 2007 QuoteI have never seen that behavior in cats. Maybe that's why I'm "single with cats." Me too. They snuggle, cuddle, and love on me...and as long as dinner is there, there's nothing wrong in their world and they think I'm neat. I love my felines...and they love me. People can do that to each other - the turning on each other and do grand damage. It's amazing how horrible some people can be. And it's hard to not let it jade you, callous you. Me?

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flamingo 0 #45 March 18, 2007 Michele, I don't post much on here and generally just use it as an escape from work. From what I can tell from your posts, you are an incredibly caring, smart and beautiful person who never has a nasty or judgemental thing to say about anyone (which is rare in this world!) and although this seems to have knocked you on your arse, you will get back up. Sounds like you just need time to reload before you go out again, guns ablazing! I know this probably doesn't help you much when you are feeling crappy and alone. I know from experience, six months after doing the whole break up thing with the love of my life, I am only now starting to realise that it might be possible for me to be happy again, abeit by myself. Drinking heavily did make me feel better in the short term, mostly because I was drinking with friends, letting them know how bad I was feeling and letting them tell me that this sucks and it is awful and it feels like someone punched my right in the solar plexus. But it did pass, and it will pass for you. The trick is to keep on keeping on until that day. It sounds from the replies on here that alot of people care an awful lot about you (I count myself among them) and want nothing but the best for you. With all these people behind you, how can you do anything BUT move forward?! xo Mary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jimmytavino 16 #46 March 18, 2007 well it's NOW the next day. and i hope the worst is now behind you, and you are doing allright..... sadness sucks.... pm sent best wishes jmy... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skybytch 259 #47 March 18, 2007 How's your head this morning? btw, tough women do cry when life throws shit at them. It's okay to rail at the injustice of it all, drink heavily, throw things at the walls and scream loud enough to cover the pain. For awhile, it's okay. What makes you a tough woman is that when you're done feeling sorry for yourself you get back up, dust yourself off and get on with it. Now go get your homework done. Whoever did whatever they did is not worth messing up what's really important to you right now.

It's overcast here, but I know the sun is there behind the clouds...kinda like how my mood is right now. No real hangover - a little bit of a headache, but nothing a cup of coffee, some water, and a regular aspirin won't handle. The vit c and b, and the water, seems to have headed off what could've been something pretty painful. I'm far less distraught than I was last night. Nothing changed, except the opportunity for a solid sleep and a bit of a pity party. Whatever happens now happens. I can't change anything about anyone else, I can only change or modify how I react/feel to any given situation. That doesn't mean I don't wish the situation were different; just that sometimes, you need to let go and get back to your own life, and make that work despite the hurt, anger, and pain. Part of that modification is knowing that there are people here who care about me. Strange as that seems, it is something that is important sometimes - to know that I have value to others, and that people honestly do care what I'm feeling and how I'm doing. So to all of those who've taken some time and posted here, or sent me a pm, know that you've made a difference in my mood. And I appreciate it greatly. Lis, you're right - I have a ton of english to get done today; I have two lab exams coming, so I can definitely get some study time in now to start getting ready. And I'm going to lunch with Dad; that always makes me feel better, and more secure. And my brother and his family are coming in next week; how glorious will that be? If I can get all the studying done this week that I plan on, I can take two days and spend it with them...and that always makes me happy. So there are good things on the horizon...and with friends like you all, posting and pming from all over the world, reminding me that I am not just tossaway trash...well, see, that helps. Thank you. Thank you for joining me in my hurt and upset and reaching out and reminding me that I have value to people (some who I have never met!!!), reminding me that I can get through this; reminding me that there is a horizon to see and focus on. And of course, for everyone sending feline hugs and scritches, I appreciate it greatly. Today will be better. Irrespective of what happens, today will be better.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flamingo 0 #45 March 18, 2007 Michele, I don't post much on here and generally just use it as an escape from work. From what I can tell from your posts, you are an incredibly caring, smart and beautiful person who never has a nasty or judgemental thing to say about anyone (which is rare in this world!) and although this seems to have knocked you on your arse, you will get back up. Sounds like you just need time to reload before you go out again, guns ablazing! I know this probably doesn't help you much when you are feeling crappy and alone. I know from experience, six months after doing the whole break up thing with the love of my life, I am only now starting to realise that it might be possible for me to be happy again, abeit by myself. Drinking heavily did make me feel better in the short term, mostly because I was drinking with friends, letting them know how bad I was feeling and letting them tell me that this sucks and it is awful and it feels like someone punched my right in the solar plexus. But it did pass, and it will pass for you. The trick is to keep on keeping on until that day. It sounds from the replies on here that alot of people care an awful lot about you (I count myself among them) and want nothing but the best for you. With all these people behind you, how can you do anything BUT move forward?! xo Mary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jimmytavino 16 #46 March 18, 2007 well it's NOW the next day. and i hope the worst is now behind you, and you are doing allright..... sadness sucks.... pm sent best wishes jmy...

It's okay to rail at the injustice of it all, drink heavily, throw things at the walls and scream loud enough to cover the pain. For awhile, it's okay. What makes you a tough woman is that when you're done feeling sorry for yourself you get back up, dust yourself off and get on with it. Now go get your homework done.

It's overcast here, but I know the sun is there behind the clouds...kinda like how my mood is right now. No real hangover - a little bit of a headache, but nothing a cup of coffee, some water, and a regular aspirin won't handle. The vit c and b, and the water, seems to have headed off what could've been something pretty painful. I'm far less distraught than I was last night. Nothing changed, except the opportunity for a solid sleep and a bit of a pity party. Whatever happens now happens. I can't change anything about anyone else, I can only change or modify how I react/feel to any given situation. That doesn't mean I don't wish the situation were different; just that sometimes, you need to let go and get back to your own life, and make that work despite the hurt, anger, and pain. Part of that modification is knowing that there are people here who care about me. Strange as that seems, it is something that is important sometimes - to know that I have value to others, and that people honestly do care what I'm feeling and how I'm doing. So to all of those who've taken some time and posted here, or sent me a pm, know that you've made a difference in my mood. And I appreciate it greatly. Lis, you're right - I have a ton of english to get done today; I have two lab exams coming, so I can definitely get some study time in now to start getting ready. And I'm going to lunch with Dad; that always makes me feel better, and more secure. And my brother and his family are coming in next week; how glorious will that be? If I can get all the studying done this week that I plan on, I can take two days and spend it with them...and that always makes me happy. So there are good things on the horizon...and with friends like you all, posting and pming from all over the world, reminding me that I am not just tossaway trash...well, see, that helps. Thank you. Thank you for joining me in my hurt and upset and reaching out and reminding me that I have value to people (some who I have never met!!!), reminding me that I can get through this; reminding me that there is a horizon to see and focus on. And of course, for everyone sending feline hugs and scritches, I appreciate it greatly. Today will be better. Irrespective of what happens, today will be better.

So to all of those who've taken some time and posted here, or sent me a pm, know that you've made a difference in my mood. And I appreciate it greatly. Lis, you're right - I have a ton of english to get done today; I have two lab exams coming, so I can definitely get some study time in now to start getting ready. And I'm going to lunch with Dad; that always makes me feel better, and more secure. And my brother and his family are coming in next week; how glorious will that be? If I can get all the studying done this week that I plan on, I can take two days and spend it with them...and that always makes me happy. So there are good things on the horizon...and with friends like you all, posting and pming from all over the world, reminding me that I am not just tossaway trash...well, see, that helps. Thank you. Thank you for joining me in my hurt and upset and reaching out and reminding me that I have value to people (some who I have never met!!!), reminding me that I can get through this; reminding me that there is a horizon to see and focus on. And of course, for everyone sending feline hugs and scritches, I appreciate it greatly. Today will be better. Irrespective of what happens, today will be better.

kbordson 8 #50 March 18, 2007 Michele I'm glad your prespective has changed with the rising sun. It's amazing how a deep breath, a hug or two (even if just over the web) and a confidence boost to remind you that you ARE important! Now enjoy that lunch, hug your kitties and study, study, study... cuz you set a high standard for yourself last semester!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
