I Wish This Was 42 - by Dianna G

A YEAR?

July 18th 2008 06:48
I Wish This Was 42 has been here for over a year.

And so have I.

Now I'm going to get out all the gushy thank yous to the wonderful community that has kept me here.

David,

Although you are gone now and I have no idea if you still check up on us occasionally, it was your quick comments that left me enthralled. And delighted. It was your great conversation that brought me much comfort. Your writing was great and your blogging a delight. I do miss you, and will never forget what an excellent writer, and person, you were. Although I never met you, nor did I know you for very long, you did leave an impact-I actually was very upset when I discovered your URL in the hands of another blogger.

You were a very welcoming part of the community, and I loved your sarcasm and your style of writing. And your poetry. May you never be forgotten.

~Dianna

Katyzzz,

You've been a wonderful person to me, welcoming me gladly into the community and posting thoughtful comments. I have always found your posts to cheer me up and I love the artwork. It would not be the same site without you. No matter how dated you may be, but sh, that's our little secret. I think perhaps the fact that you remained was the only thing that pulled me back after David left and I had been busy for a while.

Or maybe it's simply everyone else. But I am going to blame you and your encouraging words, your great writing, and your fascinating pictures. Almost all of which are, indeed, trippy.

Thank you for your warm welcome and lasting support,
~Dianna

Jeanne,

Yup. I'm putting you here. I love your Writer's Notes blog, and while you may never have been very active in commenting on my blog, your blog has been of much use to me. It's an inspiration and it's nice to read about writing from someone who has talent. And I'm glad to see your blog still going strong.

You are a great help to all aspiring writers and I think more of them should read your blog; and I look forward to continuing to read it. I truly do.

Thanks for your amazing work,
~Dianna

To Anyone I Have Forgotten,

I am grateful to all of you who have been supporting of me and my blogging over the past year-and-month-or-so. And I am glad to see new bloggers and support them in any way I can, of course.

What makes Orble such a great blogging site-and the only reason I've stuck with it, truly-is the fact that it is quite simply a wonderful writing community. I will never forget those of you that have impacted my blogging here, and I doubt that I'm leaving anytime soon. The people just keep drawing me back in.

I'm glad to have started blogging here, and I'm glad to have remained here. And I hope that you all continue to read, and to blog, and that you all check out Katyzzz and Jeanne because they have simply amazing and inspiring blogs.

And I'm going to shut up now before I start rambling more than absolutely necessary.

Thank you all for the wonderful year it has been,
~Dianna

Are you aware?

June 13th 2008 23:06
Are you aware of the struggles we live through, every day? Are you aware of the pain that people can feel and have felt?

Do you know what it's like to be poor? Do you know what it's like to be on the edge of homelessness? To be suffering from depression? To feel as though nothing can go right? Do you know what it's like to be near starving, but never quite starving?

I know all of these things. I have survived all of these things. I have lived on welfare; I have almost been kicked out of my house; I have survived off of the generosity of better off family members.

To do what? Waste away like my mother, rotting in self-destructive depression and introverted fear? To drop out of school because I'm too depressed to make it through? No. I'm not going to do that. So many of my relatives have such high hopes for me. I know they do. Even the ones that don't outright say it.

They all hope that I can make something of myself, and I hope so too. But it's so hard, and so painful, even to live from day to day with no obligations. Obligations just make life that much worse. And I'm an escapist at heart. Escape to my fantasy worlds.

Escape to my video games, my movies, my fantasy worlds.

Well that's just too bad for me because it's time to face the music. It's time to realize that I HAVE to go somewhere with this life. I have to. I can't let my family down. It's hardwired into my system-even if I won't do it for myself, I will do it for them. And that is what I am doing.

I love to write. Writing is my passion. And I hope that when I'm moved out, someday then, writing will be my career. Writing will be able to pay my bills and feed me. I write. I write a lot, mostly poetry, which is the hardest stuff to market.

And now, I am going to write to make people aware of all the pain that I have felt and that others have felt around me. To make people aware of what they can do to change the world. That is my goal. Because I am a writer at heart. And I hope that eventually, my blogs, at least one, will achieve some sort of recognition.

I hope that I will achieve some sort of recognition.

Because in that moment, my family will be smiling.

Spiralling

June 13th 2008 21:18
Spiral... spiral... ever into the blackness, descending a cold spiral staircase that doesn't care for you. Towards the darkness which pulls you, calls you, and beckons to you.

There are thousands, millions of others and you can't see them. You can't see them because you always think that you're alone in your misery, alone in your suffering, alone in your pain

I am what I am, do not judge me

April 5th 2008 09:30
All I ask of this world is not to be judged. It's all I really want. From people in general-all I want is to remain unjudged.

That's why I hide what's on my arms. They aren't pretty, they're just scars. They mean nothing now. All they are is memories of pain now passed. Though some of it remains, will haunt me until the day I die

And to make the weekend good...

March 4th 2008 03:32
My ex broke up with my best friend; feeling responsible and angry, we made him think I was dead. It didn't work according to plan and I ended up broken up with and hated.

The one person who I love and care about more than anything else hates me and doesn't want to talk to me again

Yep. I've got three weeks to find a place to live. And I'm pretty much going to be house-hopping every few weeks for two years, maybe even being able to bribe my mother to let me stay for a week out of the month.

What I'm doing right now is getting a SIN number, going to school and trying to figure out a part-time job. Once I've got one of those, depending, I *might* be able to actually move back into my old place, with my grandfather

Life, Ze Universe, And Everything

February 27th 2008 04:55
Well I am unbelievably happy. I don't even know how to describe it. I'm just really happy right now. I have a boyfrriend who I love more than anything. He is so important to me, so much to me.

I love him so much and I'm happy with him. I get a really good feeling. Like this'll last until the end of time. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am

So.

February 22nd 2008 16:13
Last night was interesting. First, it went largely downhill because I had to go out and meet up with a friend and he DIDN'T SHOW. Then it went hugely uphill because I was hanging out with him and three other friends.

Then he decided to slip, fall, and hit his head on the ice and get a mild concussion, which wonderfulled my day. We had to take him to the hospital, and despite the fact that I hate ALL hospitals-especially this one-I went with him
