Frustrated With Growing Up? Shut Up And Watch This Video

It turned out to be one of the most beautiful, inspiring speeches I have ever heard. ♥

I saw the Facebook post from Vin Diesel earlier, about what Paul Walker's mother told him when he went to offer them his support.

I wanted to say something, but for a long time, I just stared at the comment box. What do you say to someone who's just lost a part of their heart? Why say anything at all, when there are 291,881 comments to it? He won't see it anyway.

I decided to forget about it, and paged on.

And then I remembered when I lost *my* best friend. How even now, more than a year later, my heart breaks every time I think about psyco_chick32. About how much I miss having her in my life.

I remembered all my wonderful friends who left messages, who called me on the phone just so we could cry together. How much all of that love and support meant to me at the time. How much it still does.

I did leave a comment. I don't know if he'll ever read it in the sea of messages. But it doesn't matter. What matters is that he knows there are people who understand, who are thinking of him, of Mr. Walker, and want him to know that he's not alone in his grief.

Kim would have appreciated that, I think.

Blessed be, everyone! May your All Hallow's Eve be met with friendly spirits and happy memories. ♥

And for those who celebrate Halloween, may it be full of fun and lots of candy! ^_~

As for *my* All Hallow's - so far - it's been both interesting and wonderful.

( Cut out of respect for those who don't believe in/wish to read about the metaphysical and the afterlife. )

And all *my* love, to all of you. ♥



* Good luck with your NaNo, everyone! ★

Days Without Kim: Day 2

( Still grieving. )

It's amazing how little words have come to mean over the years. You tell your friends 'I love you! ♥' and it's just ... accepted. You don't think about the depth of the feeling behind it. You stop remembering that there's a face behind the other side of the monitor, and there's a real person you love and adore.

And then they're gone, and a part of you goes with them.

The world hasn't stopped moving, even though mine has.
