{{vw}} you will get through this. I know it's hard to see now, but this awfullness will eventually pass. You are working hard to make it so, and eventually it will pay off. It will. And you will find happiness, probably in places and ways you can't even imagine right now.

You just have to keep moving forward.

I'm not going to lie to you, vw. Everything *is* going to work out okay. You're smart, you're kind and you have people who love you. You're working hard on your problems, not curled up in a ball somewhere. I have been to some very low places, but I'm here and relatively content and successful.

oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that what I said wasn't a lie either.

{{{vw}}} It will be ok. You are one of the strongest people I have ever met, and you will find a way to deal with all of this. I am always amazed at how strong you are. Also, you have a lot of good people in your life, doctors, friends, and family, who are there for you. You can do this.

not curled up in a ball somewhere.

I'm afraid that very soon, that's exactly what I'll be doing. I'm just not holding on very well. Soon, the ball is gonna win.

Look ma - no hangover. But off to the doc's anyway.

This driveby post brought to you by the word random.

Vw, if you want to be a ball, be a ball. From what I've seen, you won't be a ball long. Take a breath, take a vacation from caring and thinking for a second. We're all here, and you have people physically close to you who care about you and are thinking about you.

Can I be a ball who runs away?

Curling into a ball and running away are time honored metods of dealing with badness. That said, current craptasticness is totally bump in the road and not your final destination.

Can I be a ball who runs away?

Yep!

And then you'll come back. 'Cause you're just that tough.
