Where Have They Gone?

[danie]

Since we're being all positive now, I must mention that I had written a story with archaeological references. I was feeling insecure about those. Kurben was kind enough to read the story and give me his input on it. (Let me tell you, as a story writer, people are interested in what you write, but it's another thing for them to actually read it and give you their thoughts.) He was one very cool, gracious guy about that, and I am very appreciative.

I freakin' love this board and the people on it.

I bet you could ask him any question about history, or any number of things, and he would know the answer! Kurben, you are a SmartDude.

One year ago I had a very strange dream connected with PatriciaA. I would like to know that her health is good... Does someone know about it?

She really doesn't come around here any more and hasn't been communicating via FB either. I just hope that she is doing well and is happy.

...as do I...but it was hurtful to just drop out of sight....I've said that before, nothing new...she had plenty of friends here and on FB she could have asked to keep the rest of us posted...

Sorry about your recent loss Grandpa - it's been such a season of sadness for so many recently.

GNTLGNT I'm so bummed I never got to "know" most of those folks - though PatriciaA and PITH were around when I was new - and they both were so much fun to talk to. I understand why you miss them.

Makes me think of Billy Joel's lines:
So many faces in and out of my life,
Some will last, some will just be now and then.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes-
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.

It happens, we lose touch with people and then come across them again somewhere unexpected and its just a gem of a moment, but sad too, because you know you'll lose touch again. And what really sucks is when you lose them forever, and you lost the chance to tell them how much they meant to you. I get your sadness "in toto".

Surprised into tears. I'd forgotten that song. It's very difficult to accept that personal drift (even if it is natural). Reminds me of that Eddie Money song:
My friends, my friends
we never got together again but
I love my friends
my friends

I love that one too.
Leaving friends behind is one reason I can.not.finish TWTTKH. I can't bear to part with the Ka-Tet forever.

Oh Holly, I've been struggling with this too.

I think I get hurt more by the ones who have stayed here, but for whatever reason, unfriended me.....I honestly have no idea what I've done to offend them.
Some of the ones who came back can be hurtful too.....I even messaged a couple of them, and kinda got the cold shoulder. One even said something like "I really don't wanna talk, but it's nice seeing you around"....
I try to just shrug my shoulders and move on, but I still get my feelings hurt.

Wow - that's harsh. I've had someone just suddenly quit talking to me and I can't imagine what I must have said or done, but yes, that does hurt the feelings. I'm already a bundle of love and feelings - so easy to hurt.
Anyhow - you're awesome Sunny! We all love you.

One of the toughest but most rewarding lessons I learned was to not let other people control how I felt. Oh, their opinions are important. We need a yardstick for self-evaluation. And I like to please people, make them happy.

But letting others drive my mood to dark places is giving them a level of control I don't want them to have. So I stopped letting them do that. Mostly.
