I have found that writing is my best defence against them, as you have. I find that to be a writer you have to lay your soul bare. You have to be a sponge sucking up all that life throws at you. :)Jack Easonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601041734648407356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-82069610586266467952012-02-28T14:57:47.418-05:002012-02-28T14:57:47.418-05:00Thanks for commenting, Tom!

Even longer to write about the real event as I did here. But when I did, it helped me deal with emotions I'd been bottling up and I felt better in the long run.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147640629724678243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-56019192238217857492012-02-28T13:49:30.141-05:002012-02-28T13:49:30.141-05:00Mysti, that was some awesome advice.

It opens us up and makes us vulnerable again. We might even shed a tear or become so depressed thinking about it, that we won't be productive again the rest of the day."<br /><br />I hope that this has sunk into the hard granite-like substance that my head seems to be made of.<br /><br />Tomtbritz13https://www.blogger.com/profile/17446521828212747361noreply@blogger.com
