dear Emme,
I feel like the suicidal girl telling the depressed girl not to jump. But I mean it. Even though I am at my wits end right now, and I say I want to die, and I *feel* like I want to die, somewhere inside I know I *don't* want to die and I'm fighting for my life here. I know you are too somewhere--I just know it. We have to take those places as tiny as they might be and give them as much light and love as possible until they can grow a little bigger, and a little bigger, and someday they become strong. Because that is our true strength that got damaged along the way here, but it's ours and it belongs to us.Each time I have been in abject misery you have found it within yourself to come out of yours and give me a message of hope and encouragement. Any human being on the planet with that kind of compassion is meant to be here to share that--for those of us, like me, who desperately need it. Like I have told Gabbix, I feel she is going through her intense pain to teach us all something down the line--because she has such insight and clarity of expression. On the other side of this is you and your gift, Emme. Your heart shines here. Let that be your guide.
Cry. Write. Cry and write at the same time like I do. Please talk to your doctor and keep talking to as many people as you can. I think about you. We really are all connected in this universe; I meant it when I said I thought about you when you weren't posting. You make a difference, and to stop it in its tracks would do a disservice to the entire universe.
((((emme))))
