  hey SW, self loathing gets you nowhere, what is this? I often say to my friends: I wish you could see the awesome person that "I" see , you'd be so much kinder to yourself. So how about it, SW, can you give a guy a break?

  This is SO deep! Talk about Bizaar! Whoa! I hope my mom never finds out I'm a member here! You rock SW!!!!

  I would not have thought you'd be subject to very many, if any, moments like that, Silver. ((hugs))
  
  I definitely think it's something you can pull from. At least that much can be said of our lowest points, eh? Strong emotions make for excellent writing.
  
  I admit to being insanely curious, but I respect you enough not to pry. :) Hopefully those sorts of moments are few and far between for you.

  Wow. I thought it was pretty convincing until the bit about the header onto the sidewalk. I'll tell you why.
  
  You do that, and you know some people will be real hurt, and I just know you won't be that inconsiderate.
  
  Plus someone will someone will have to do the clean up, I am sure you are not that inconsiderate either.
  
  Watch some comedy, have a good laugh, and it will pass.
  
  It alway does, you see. :)

  SW....I believe that sometimes, you just can't help the way you feel. Usually there's a reason for that. So take whatever you've learned about yourself, and use it to your advantage.
  
  I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, you're a good guy, dude.

  Thanks for writing out the feelings to connect with.
  
  The feelings are there, the words are there.
  
  Takes a good writer to connect them.
  
  Takes a great writer to put them out there.
  
  Takes an awesome person to take the flak.

  ...a razorwire whip lashing my back as acid rain pelts down on me as i slog through hip-deep mud...

  
  
  Great grist.

  Silver, if I didn't know you better, I would have thought that you posted this for my benefit--as a response to what I commented to you in one of my posts. Thank you for reminding me that you, too, are human.
  
  I do feel, however, that this may be fuel for those haters that burn and smolder in SoulCastland. Just a thought. To hell with them anyway, right?

  Whoa! It's getting deeper and more bizarre by the second! I LOVE THIS PLACE!
  

• Zayda said on Aug 20, 2006....

  silver: you already know how i feel about what prompted this. but, as far as being "grist for the mill", i think that this is a fine piece of emotional writing. i can see you putting it to good use.
  
  thank you, btw, for sharing.
  

• CreativeWoman said on Aug 20, 2006....

  Silver,
  
  It takes great courage to bare your soul like that.
  
  I hope that those loathsome feelings pass sooner than later.

  Happens. Everyone goes through the crappy stage once and a while....you at least, put it out there for folks to see...
  

• silverwhisper said on Aug 20, 2006....

  as i said, this isn't something i'm proud of, but like i said, it's something that i think that i can use elsewhere.
  
  thanks, guys.

  Don't worry, man. Now that I'm used to this place, I'd say that ANYTHING goes! And you'll pull out of it. The best always do!
  

• hunter_boyce_chandler said on Aug 20, 2006....

  Once again SW I am proud to call you my friend.
  
  One day soon you will be on the New York Times Bestseller list and I fully intend to brag like a banshee about how we used to write together.
  

• FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 20, 2006....

  You have such creative use of words the way you express your emotions of frustration. Let me see now, is this how you feel for not having that much delayed book publishing deal yet? :)
  

• happykat said on Aug 20, 2006....

  Man, I could kick your ass for even thinking that.
  
  Whatever the reason, I hope you're feeling better and thinking more clearly.

  What brought this on? Despite firstly being unproud of the words, I think it speaks highly of you, in all actuality. You, who could make put into wordplay what you really feel. Bravo!
  
  I hope you're "considerably feeling better now" is staying that way.. or being better.
