Hi V, I think it will be much easier to be kind and respectful since I've sent her that letter - and just felt like it was something of a release from her. She just has nothing over me now - no way to control me - and even her anger can't get to me the way she wants it to. I'm doing okay - still feeling some lingers pangs of grief - but nothing like last night or the day before (or the day before the day before).
Have you seen Slumdog Millionaire yet? That's a great movie - a lot more uplifting (even through its moments of real sadness).
The Wrestler is definitely the type of movie that depressed men would enjoy...okay...so that doesn't make a lot of sense...but I mean that sometimes when I'm really down (i.e. last night) it just feels cathartic to see something that lets some of the emotions ride to the surface...and such it was for me last night.
