Running on Empty

i feel so empty and i don't know where to go to get filled up. there's nothing on tv and i don't feel like going out. i'm very lonely and starved for company, companionship, and affection. i don't know what i need to do in order to heal--that's the key; i need to heal but don't know how or where to go for it. i feel like i need a ladder or some tools to help me climb out of this hole, but there's nothing there. i know i need help from something outside myself. i feel alone and isolated, and i don't think i can heal in a vacuum. or, is that the problem--looking outside of myself for what i need?

You should read Electro Boy (about manic depression).

Diana;
This is my first visit to your corner of cyberspace, and I know I am a total stranger to you.... but I wanted to offer you a comforting embrace of compassion, light, and love. My heart and spirit reach out to you and surround you in a loving hug that simply comforts and sits in this moment with you. I hope you feel you are not alone in some small way ... that there are those who genuinely care about you and admire the strength it took for you to reach out in this space and share your heartache. Everything is contained within you, the light, the love, the strength...and there are those of us here to be with you and keep you company and hold your hand and listen to you and hear you and love you and comfort you and celebrate you as you discover the truth and the beauty that lies within. Blessings to you this late night, from the southern portion of your great state.

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out...

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where...
