Ok. Wow. I do believe I needed some kind of tissue warning. Wow! Incredible job on this! As much as I want to be smiling from ear to ear for the greatness you have done with it, I am sad, broken hearted and in pieces with this character pain.
I know the personal attachment with this story so it makes it even worse. I would like to jump on the plane right now and fly to ATL and hug you! So instead I send you (( cyberhugs)) I love ya girlie!
I take it that song I had to you listen to, help a little. Her words are strong willed man… Ingrid is amazing!
Thank you for leaving your heart on paper. I know how hard this must be for you but know this...beyond a shadow of doubt, you'll be FINE!! My own personal experience lets me know that it'll get better. Think of this as a part of your broken road, leading you to the greater later. Truly beautiful work hon. I look forward to the day that you're so happy you're delirious!
Ki
Author's Response: Thank you for the support and well wishes. Hey, you never know, maybe I'll write another short one the day I find my delirious happy :)
I'm wiping the tears as I write this.
This is simply amazing. It's a harsh truth that many of us fail to write, but you captured it in an essence that we could all feel.
Losing first loves are hard. Hell, I still hold onto my first love memories 10 years later. He's still the guy I'm hung up on.
Love you girl. Thanks for writing this. Especially the last sentence-it's the one thing we all need to realize.
Author's Response: Aw, please wipe those tears away. I think I've cried enough for the world. Its all a bitter pill to swallow, but you know, in the end, after all the pain and the tears, we'll be ok. We really will be ok. No one died from a broken heart, right?
Author's Response:
Thank you. Band-aids suck, right? You still gotta rip them off. It's better to let the wound air and heal on its own accord. Thank you!
okay, seriously? wow...I'm...I'm speechless. I am in awe. I feel the need to bow down to you....either that or just give you a really tight hug and tell you that everything is going to be okay. My heart literally broke for you while I was reading this. I know I don't know all the details but I know that you've been through hell the last little while and I'm sorry. The way you have been able to express your thoughts and emotions is beautiful and incredible and I'm a little jealous! lol...
Also, ten points to you for using a big word I had to go look up! LOL That doesn't happen very often!! "Capricious"...learned a new word! Love ya! And I'm glad that we've had the opportunity to become friends. :)
Author's Response:
I'll take the hug. Then, I'll ask for another.
Don't let your heart break, hun. I can't help you put it back together & get mine glued too. I'm no multi-tasker, hehe.
Hell, is a nice way to put it. I appreciate you being there to letting me twit-vent. Thank you! Our cyber-friendship is truly becoming more than I ever imagined. Thank you.
You know, green is totally not ur color. lol...kidding. One of the greatest compliments I can receive is my expansive vocabulary, so thank you. lol, i think i swallowed the dictionary as a child. It'd be my parents' way of punishing my sister and I. Read the dictionary.
Oh goodness. Girllllll. You have a way of writing that makes my heart just rip open and bleed for you.
And I'm so impressed that this is something that REALLY happened and you put it out there for us all to read. I can only imagine how much you much be hurting, because the pain shows through in your writing.
Now I know how to punch in the face. :) When I see Jace, he's going to pay for this. ;) No one should have to hurt like this. But you will be okay. And you will be stronger too. Here's me, singing into my hairbrush in my stilletos to you...
"Stronger than yesterday (clap, clap), Now it's nothin' but my way, my loneliness ain't killin' me no more."
Author's Response:
I don't wish for you to bleed for me, I apologize. It was something so painful, so new, and so overpowering that I needed to let it out. Unfortunately, some things I simply cannot talk to my family about, and you guys, are just there always. Thank you so much for the support.
Let's no get violent [even though we really want to]. But, thank you for the offer to beat up Jace [wink,wink]
I'll have you know the (clap,clap) is ONE of my favorite parts of the song, hehe. Watch ur balance on those things! lol.
Author's Response: The clueless 'wtf' is the worse. You've built this fairytale around this individual, and in an instant, they prove everything wrong. Then, you're left wondering if it was all a lie. It'll get better tho, thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate it.
Author's Response: hugs for you too, "lil sis"...thank you
WOW.
Sitting in tears over here. If that is how the breakup went down between you and your ex...I can definitely relate. Their conversation was me and my ex to a T. Do you hear me? PERFECT T. The arguing and never actually resolving anything? Yep. All the time for almost 2 years straight.
And THIS: I hadn't felt this safe and warm in his embrace in ages. Ironic that I'd feel it again at the end, right?
Umm. Our last convo had a hug like that, that seemed to last for ages and I hadn't felt that SAFE in forever. Also...his last words? About still being there if she ever needed him? I think you were a fly on the wall during his and my conversation.
Anyway...this was BRILLIANT. And I love you so much for putting it out there. I felt it all the way down in my toes. You are an incredible writer and this just proves it even more.
That last line: "I know I'll be okay"...you will be ok. I'll be ok. We'll both find someone else that will love us and we'll be a thousand times stronger. Love you girl! <3
Author's Response:
This is exactly how the breakup went down, less than 12 hours ago. In reality, I haven't finished the bottle of tequila, but I'm damn near it.
The arguing about everything and resolving nothing is an endless cycle. Every sing argument. It never mattered what it was about. It was never resolved.
Irony always comes back to slap us in the face in the end, right? We should've seen the things that were missing throughout instead of at the end. They always say that you can look back and pinpoint the differences, right?
Thank you for the love, hun. It is greatly appreciated. Writing helps. I can't sing my songs or read my poems to anyone, but I can post my stories. Thank you for the compliments. Thank you so much.
We'll be ok. When? It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we WILL be ok.
