" for a very long time,..I chose loneliness,...and it was probably the worst 5 years of my life,..but the most artistically productive at the same time,....but,.I was severely depressed,..unabated depression,..it took a long time till something snapped in my head,..and I got over losing the love of my life,..a 23 year relationship,.down the drain,....
Suddenly,..I was over it,.and ready to love again,...and I met someone,..but not without a lot of heartbreak,..and 5 years of hell,....and 3 hospitalizations,...I suffered so greatly,..and thought I would never make it through,....
I am here to say,.there is a light at the end of the tunnell,...I am living proof,...
My life has changed for the better,..finally,..Keep fighting,.. "

" If life were so simple that everything came down to binary choices, we'd all figure this stuff out pretty quickly. I don't think it's a choice between the two.

I choose love and life whenever possible, but there are times when the parts of me that can do that stop functioning. I try to force myself, but to no avail.

I often feel that I need love to be healed, but I have to heal first to find love. "

" I choose love without expecting to get anything in return. But, I almost always do get love in return. Almost. "
