I love it when the real you peeks out of the shell and we get this noble tenderness and true strength. I always miss it so when it's gone. Welcome back
"I see you"

I love you, Mel, but I don't think you give me enough credit, and I don't think you do see me. Your comment, while sweet, is also extremely patronizing. Who do you think you are? I've been here the whole time, fighting the good fight. I may not always be at my best, but I'm still more defensible than the unapologetic and unreasoning mob I've seen you take sides with against me, under the subtle mantle of peacemaker. Even when you defend me, you mostly accuse me, so my enemies think even my friends are against me. I don't need these backhanded compliments, and I don't need you treating me like I'm having some sort of episode if I'm somewhat less than graceful as I defend myself against a hundred relatively unprovoked personal attacks. I'm here, -- noble, tender, and strong, -- whether you see me or not. Don't I always begin by showing my best? And when the maenads come and tear me to bits, and I let out a cry of pain, -- a cry for justice, -- you're right there with a disappointed look in your eye for me, to tell me I'm not being myself. Thanks. "Welcome back"?? Do you have any idea how condescending that sounds? This is the real me. I've been here all along. "Don't call it a comeback." I crusade for utopian values, even when its unpopular (or "grandiose"), and even when the last of my friends has lost faith in me. That's who I am. If you see me now, then "Welcome Back" to you. Seriously. I'm sorry if this is upsetting to you. I care about you and I don't mean to be rough. It's just this bothers me a lot. Peace

I guess I spoke too soon.

You care about me? Then why haven't you written to me or called me since you got your new girlfriend? It's been pretty obvious that I needed a friend.

Thanks for not only taking yourself away but chasing the few girls I had made friends with out of LindaLand.

Trust me, I know the "real you" can be a complete ass. I just like the higher vibration you better and that's what I choose to encourage. My heart was filled with love for you when I wrote that. I just tried to tone it down some so I wouldn't make Yin uncomfortable. I also just changed her name to her screenname just in case. I bend over backwards for you and you don't even notice the carnage you cause. I MISS WHEELS. YOU were my best friend. I have no one to talk to now here and when I try to be loving to you, you find fault in it and think the worst. What happened to the benefit of the doubt? You are callous.

I'm glad things are going so well for you now that you don't need me anymore. Thanks for making me cry when I was trying to be loving. I guess I suck at it as much as you do. Those Celine Dion lyrics were for you, by the way. I was going through my briefcase bag at lunch at work and I found your card. I read it and that song came on and it expressed my feelings in that moment exactly so I posted the lyrics when I got home.
Now if you want to bait me until you get me to say something terrible so you can get me kicked out of LindaLand, I have no doubt that you can. Just know that it would be evil. I guess if that's what our soul contract is then so be it. Bring it.

Wheels talks to me on FB. More than you do. I talk to Ghani on FB too. But it's not the same as here and you know it.

You present it like I sought out people you were fighting with and made friends with them. That's b.s. and you know it. You and Wheels were peas and carrots when you met and when I became friends with her. Ghani was also your friend here. It's not my fault that your friends turn to enemies so quickly. Sounds like you are washing your hands of me as well... and just going to remember the memories. Well, I'm not going to deal with that during the full moon and eclipse. If that means I lose you then that's out of my control.
As for Adonis, I was working 11 hour days 7 days a week while I was with him and he was babysitting Rosie. He was stupid jealous and I didn't want to deal with his b.s. when I had to have SOME sleep. I also didn't want to take any chances that he would be grumpy with Rosie. You're the one who told me to find some young hot stud and do whatever it is you told me to do with him. Yeah, "true love"... talk about condescending. He did help me with rent and caring for Rosie for a while so he tried to do good for me with what he had inside of himself that could.
whatever, I've got things to do. you hurt my heart.

I'm glad you're still in contact with your friends. I'm not going to argue with you, especially here. And I've got things to do, too. I'm busy educating and motivating parents to stop poisoning and depriving their children to death. Although I have no children of my own, this work is still important and rewarding to me. So I'll get back to it.

Best of luck with everything, Melody.

Take Care
