hey blossom, you're cousin doesn't sound very caring

maybe you can plan another trip to America, at another time, and maybe with people who you'd rather come with?

hope you feel better

Hey lil sis

your cousin is just being mean, you cant just snap out of depression, geez if it were that simple then there wouldnt be a whole damn forum on the subject here.

ofcourse your upset you cant go to America, but hun, maybe you can go somewhere else for summer, oh idk, like England, i know of a big sis, that would love to see ya , not as exciting as America granted, but like theres always shopping in London

I'm sorry for your hurt . I remember when I got everyone to sign up for a backpacking trip with science club then came down with poison sumac. Everyone got to go but me. That made me cry and cry.

You've got lots of friends, Ladybugbutterflyblossomy, and there are new ones waiting round the corner.

[this one appears to be part fairy, part butterfly!!!]

This one doesn't mind clashing with Pink!!!

thanks everyone.

but really i don't have lots of friends and there are none waiting around the corner. noone wants to be my friend in college. i barely get to see the friends i have at home. my cousin was always one of my best friends because we've known each other since forever. but whatever. it just gets lonely and really depressing sometimes. i'm really glad i have all ye as friends but i need real life ones too or else i'll probably never be happy. and i really really really can't stand another summer at home. it'll be the same thing everyday again - get up, go to work, come home, be depressed for a while, then go to bed.

i hate my life.

So change it.

"No one wants to be my friend in college", but there was a girl down the hall that you watched TV with, last week.

"I barely get to see the friends ... at home" ... then figure out how to see them more.

Yes, if you don't change anything, it'll probably stay approximately the same.

And you left out "talk to my friends onsite" in your daily life, last summer. I know we're not the same as people you can touch, but ... can you see that depression is making you edit out all the good things? It still might be mostly bad, but only depression's lies can make it all bad.

i'm sorry.

Ah, sweety, that's not why I said it.

I don't want to make you feel worse.

I should've just said that I was sorry you felt so bad.

There is no way to just "snap out of it". The only thing that I do know that can work is to try, though. I just don't have as gentle a touch as 'finding' does.

I'm sorry that I sounded like your cousin, for a second.

It's not what I meant.

that's ok.

It's not okay if friends hurt our feelings, sweety, that's why I apologized.

you didn't hurt my feelings.

"Who am I to blow against the wind?" :-)

Is there anything I can do to help you, ladyblossomy?

probably not just ignore me.

Well, if ignoring you would actually help you, I would.

It would pain me, because I would miss you, but if you told me it was the best thing, I'd have to respect your wishes.

well, nothing is going to help so you may as well just ignore me.

How about, as long as it doesn't hurt, I keep annoying you for as long as possible? :-)

I'm much better at being annoying than ignorant.

if that's what you want to do, fine. but you should save your energy.

Why, is there an energy crisis coming? :-)

This is what Demented Bunnies do! Blossombug.

i dunno. maybe.

You're allowed to be uncertain, Blossomfly.

I can bounce for both of us, for a while, at least.

um ok.

but remember don't waste all your energy on me.

Have you ever heard of the concept of 'agape'?

I pour out my energy without expectation of any return, and it repays me anyway, just the way your angels described it.

Except without the ray guns.

no i've never heard of that.
