Time for bed, Anthony. Morning brings amazing things.

Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 21 June 2003 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

You could always be me, Anthony (and you know what I mean). We'll go to church together when I'm in Emminton and we'll pray together.

Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 21 June 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Keep in mind what Kenan said, Anthony, take some *hugs* from us all, and get some rest. Suffice to say, my friend, you are wrong about yourself above. It may be banal enough since I say it often enough, but it is true: fret not.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Anthony: strength. We got your back. Plus, most of us have been there, one way or another.

Neudonym, Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:19 (twenty-two years ago)

here, here. crikey mate, i know it's cliched, but this shall pass. everybody has been there. and try my beer, onion and sausages recipe this is bound to have you laughing at how freakin' awful it its.

Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

your life might suck, but i hope you don't hate yourself. i'm sure all of us disagree with your last line. hugs to you.

JuliaA (j_bdules), Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

As Neudonym said, we've all been there. And what's more, every single one of my favorite people -- the finest, smartest, most compassionate and sensitive and worthwhile people I know -- go through what you're going through on a semi-regular basis. Feel bad, sure. Go ahead. From the evidence I've gathered, it seems to build a lot of character. But don't ever feel worthless.

Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Anthony, I love you.

Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

you are none of the things you describe in your last line.
its ok to wallow, but dont believe your last line, ok.
shitty times pass. we all get them ( i have only just semi-recovered from one such phase ). the thing is, they DO pass.
remember that, keep breathing and yes, get some rest.

donna (donna), Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Sleep is so much better than killing yourself, 'cause it's like death, only you wake up. Release and escape, and then rebirth. I do it every day.

I hope Anthony isn't reading this right now. I hope he's sleeping.

Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 21 June 2003 05:02 (twenty-two years ago)

anthony you bring smiles to my life. i want to do the same fo you. *hugs*

The mere fact that you feel rotten about this shows how truly wonderful you are as a human being. I would think you were a bad person if you didn't feel a thing, or if you celebrated this.

my sister hates me for who i am.

For what reason? Jealousy? Resentment? Intolerance? A lack of intellect? All of these things (the only ones I can think of) only reflect badly upon her own humanness, not yours.

my best friends are ignoring me, been cold or are in italy.

The ones who are ignoring you are letting you know indirectly that maybe it's time you moved on in regards to them. You can outgrow friends and it would be better in the end if you just let them go.

The ones who are cold are miserable bastards and it's best to live one's life without those types of people.

The ones who are in Italy will return to your life, guaranteed. You should look forward to that moment.

im broke and dont know how i will pay rent this month.

Ohhh, money problems. Yes, those are really hard to go through. Just have faith that you have the inner strength to move through this moment and see improvement.

im in debt.

See: Above.
school doesnt want to take me

You mean, schools in general or just a school. Because if it's "a" school, there are plenty of other schools out there. If there's one thing I've learned since high school about schools, it's that it's not worth it aiming for one singular school because you might miss out on feeling a part of a community that's more suited to you.

im a year from vancouver

A year goes by quite quickly. I've learned this as I've grown older.

i have no love life, dates string me along or dissapaite

So do I. Let's commiserate together, along with Julio (wherever he is). In my case, I can chalk it up to boys being muy macho. I'm sure we can chalk it up to something similar in your case.

my writing isnt going well.

That's what you think. I think it's admirable that you would try to improve upon your writing. I've just given up on mine, basically. Your level of writing is probably miles past the level of mine. And while that may not bring any comfort to you, at least know that I wish I was like you and people like you.

I wish the best for you.

Innocent Dreamer (Dee the Lurker), Saturday, 21 June 2003 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate mine right now, too, Anthony *hugs*

Not speaking to close friends for a long time is difficult, but sometimes the longer the gaps between seeing them, the better it is when you finally get in touch

dave q, Saturday, 21 June 2003 09:19 (twenty-two years ago)

sleep.
rest.
early mornings.
massage courses.
giving up/diluting/cutting down on alcohol.

fresh fruit.
slow release foods.
vitamins.
extra exercise than usual.
long baths.

you know the usual.

exlifehater, Saturday, 21 June 2003 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm struggling to think of anyone more deserving of the best thoughts than Anthony. Mate, you're a fine human being. Keep going. AIM or mail if you should wish to talk.

Matt (Matt), Sunday, 22 June 2003 01:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Anthony, you're so totally not sad and worthless and pathetic...you were the light of Whyte during my last visit to the city, man. Keep your eyes on your mailbox, hopefully something mildly amusing should be there in a week or so!

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 22 June 2003 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

you are lovely Anthony, best wishes.

isadora (isadora), Sunday, 22 June 2003 01:37 (twenty-two years ago)

The very fact that you belong to ILX makes it a better place, Anthony.

Hang in there. We're all on your side.

C J (C J), Sunday, 22 June 2003 07:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Ant if you kill yrself I am going to be SO MAD. Like CHEWING OUT OTHER PEOPLE'S VOICEBOXES MAD. So put a stop to the pity action and get out there and do what you do. It took me a long time to respond to this bcz I couldn't figure out what to say. Then I got drunk and violent and everything was clear. You keep on truckin, boy, you got a crowd and a half rootin' for you. Burn it up. Stay fresh.

Millar (Millar), Sunday, 22 June 2003 07:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Anthony, I wish i could offer some useful advice, but sadly I cannot. Please hang in there & take note of what has been said on this thread. Try to take a step back & re-evaluate things, I can't promise they will look any different, but they might.

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

What Millar said but, y'know, less Violent, Anth.

Anthony I hug you

M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 22 June 2003 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

big hugs anthony, big wrapped-up-in-quilts hugs.

teeny (teeny), Sunday, 22 June 2003 22:15 (twenty-two years ago)

anthony life is good good a lot of the time! it'll get good again.
hey did you ever get that record i sent you btw?

duane, Monday, 23 June 2003 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Anthony - life is constantly evolving, and with that comes the shit - but because you're still living and growing and becoming more you, then all the shitty things too shall pass and evolve into something exquisite. You're embraced by a lot of people - savour the care and love that's being expressed - really, we all have excellent taste and if we like you that must mean that you're pretty damn amazing.

I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 23 June 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

you know its often when you're right down in the dumps that stuff comes along and just changes everything, and problems will just be memories, and distant ones. well thats what happened for me anyway.

as for the old thing with dates stringing you along, well thats still a problem for me. but ive come to the conclusion that some women are just evil, they meet up and conspire, and they always make sure to come back and bite you in the ass just when you think you're gettin better. ok so i guess that aint a cheery thought, so just forget about those women, they aint worth the bother. theres a lot of more easy going women who wont do your head in. as for where they hang out, im still waiting for someone to tell me on that one.

but seriously theres a lot of beautiful things in the world outside (and this is coming from me, an ex-shut in). you gotta get outside of those problems and start something new. just take a drive or a walk to the nicest place you ever been, pop a Creedence tape in, and i guarentee you'll have a good time. sure there are still problems to deal with, but just for a while, get outside of them.
