One thing more, Leon. You say that life is meaningless, but I believe it's life that's sacred. I talk about art and sex because they're the most intense life experiences I know, so I feel they must be sacred too. They let us experience the values we've chosen for our lives in one exquisite not of pleasure exactly but of oneness with all of existence and with our own personal relationship to it. Art says: "This is Life." Sex says: "This is Living.

I__ have to prove to everyone, including Ellia, that I was more than some guy she used to know, that what we shared had and still mattered. She may have forgotten the promise we made on the beach, but I hadn__, and it was up to me to backup those words with action. Memories and ghosts were for the dead. Living things moved, and I was never one to stand still." ~Liam

She was my go-to person. I__ tell her everything. Now, all of those late-night phone calls, all the sleepovers at her house because I couldn__ deal with stuff at home, all the crying on her shoulder. It__ all gone. It__ like if she doesn__ know, then it didn__ happen, and if it didn__ happen then what exactly am I holding on to?_ ~Stacey

It__ like returning to a familiar room and noticing objects had been moved while you were gone__ chair here, a picture frame there. Items that were once brand new were suddenly broken in and worn from age. It was all very subtle, but enough to suspect paranormal activity or a cruel practical joke. When no one else saw what you saw, the freak factor really kicked in, because you were singled out and left questioning reality." ~Ellia

You can__ be friends with someone you have feelings for. It__l just be a constant reminder of what you can__ have. It__ like putting boiling water in an ice cold glass. It__ gonna bust and make a mess.

Today I wore a pair of faded old jeans and a plain grey baggy shirt. I hadn't even taken a shower, and I did not put on an ounce of makeup. I grabbed a worn out black oversized jacket to cover myself with even though it is warm outside. I have made conscious decisions lately to look like less of what I felt a male would want to see. I want to disappear.

Families living in dysfunction seldom have healthy boundaries. Dysfunctional families have trouble knowing where they stop and others begin.

She will always be etched in my being, like thread sewn through the fibers of my very soul.

If no one has boundaries_how can there be any transgression?

It is one thing to know about your dysfunctional habits but quite another to change them.

I was so done with looking at life through the eyes of beer-drinking cheese-heads. I wanted to go on that mission trip and look through the eyes of someone from a different culture and see what they saw. I wanted to meet people who didn__ crush the can of what they just drank on their forehead.-Rebecca Meyer, Crooked Lines

The more dysfunctional, the more some family members seek to control the behavior of others.

Boundaries represent awareness, knowing what the limits are and then respecting those limits.

Next to God, Family is the best thing.

A question that always makes me hazy is it me or are the others crazy'Albert Einstein

Not necessary that every problem has a solution, you have to live with 'some' problems..rather than forcing a solution and doing a blunder, live with it.. People always have solutions for 'your' problems but none for their own..

My father used to say there are two kinds of people: the noticers and the noticed

You are blood. You are sisters. No man can break that bond.
