For %%diary-flyin2thesun%%,

I keep thinking you're older than you are and that's a compliment.

Like me, you were cursed with the ability to think about things way too much.

I have to say that I agree with the decision to go to therapy. I've been seeing the same therapist for about 5 years now and it's the best thing I've ever decided to do for myself. Also, don't be afraid of antidepressants. I'd always thought I was "too good" for them and would never need them because I could handle things on my own. But then I went to Walmart one October weekend last year and drove home debating whether or not I wanted to drive my Saab off the bridge along Rt.17.

I didn't see a link between depression and migraines but at therapy that night, I did. Frank encouraged it but AJ took away the stigma.

I hope you have someone in your life like him. Both of them, actually. Frank gets a monthly recap while AJ ends up with a daily digest sometimes and helps to rationalize what goes on in between.

Point is, get well :) 20 years later, my point is that you should get well. So do it!

In other news, I realized this morning when Carim IMmed me that I don't really want to be pissed off at him anymore for telling me the reason Nick dumped me. There's shit going on with him that I've only recently found out that inevitably had to influence his decision to tell me.

His ex-Britney dumped him around the time he and I started fighting. Then, it was revealed that she and Paul were interested in each other. And, if that wasn't enough, she's getting an abortion.

There have been things happening in the last few months that have made me reconsider my stance on abortion. Mainly reinforcing or editing my view but never making me pro-life.

How singled out is that term anyway, pro-life. I mean, it's kind of unfair that it's only meaning involves abortion and you can't claim to be "pro-life" unless you're against it. I don't think that this is right cause with it comes the stigma that if you're not pro-life you're pro-death (Very Bush-like of you: they're either with you or against you). But you don't want to call pro-choicers that because it's inhumane and, lest I forget, not true. And you can't call other human beings inhumane but you can bomb our Planned Parenthoods clinics and doctor's homes. Good for you, cause that's so much better (*coughcoughhypocritecoughcough*). I am pro-life: in that I don't think people like me and others should die for being pro-choice. How's that?
