malign Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Maybe he will have gained respect for you, once he realizes how much courage it took. Maybe you even gained some respect for you ... Victimorthecrime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I know I have tremendous respect for Small. He has alone faced physical, emotional, and social problems head on and shared openly & brilliantly about it to the benefit of many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Small Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 @Victimorthecrime Thanks for the ccompliment but I'm just another guy in some bad situations. Trying to cope from one day to the next. If it wasn't for friends like you I wouldn't post here and that would suck. So thanks for being here.

Small Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I've managed to meet my deadline. That's a massive relief. I have a few days spare so I'm going to sit on it until I'm confident about it all. When I have more time I'll post in about something.

Victimorthecrime Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 @Klingsor - I didn't see it either and felt the same sting of exclusion. I promise I will be on my best Catholic school boy behavior! Klingsor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks guys. This is the worst time of year for me so I'm trying not to get too upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingsor Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Sorry you're feeling down man. I had made some New Years resolutions but they fizzled out. So that has depressed me. Plus no work holidays except Presidents' Day for like another 5 months. Like starving rats, clawing and climbing over each other for a bigger crumb of cheese.

Victimorthecrime Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hope you feel better Small, and soon. I'm finding I am better off not thinking about my life but just doing what little I can and let it be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Small Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I went to a funeral last Saturday. The uhm, earth. It's not normal soil. It's thick like clay. It was so thick, heavy, dense. That's where I'm going to end up. That's it? Trapped deep in thick clay? No friends & family. What the fuck? How am I supposed to be okay with that? I'm not trying to act annoying or deep. But I have been disturbed by that a lot. I can't get this image out of my head. The clay & the big open field in the middle of nowhere.

Small Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I shouldn't have gone. I have been to 2 burials but I've never noticed that before. I don't want to be buried out there in some field with thousands of strangers. Where anyone can walk in or through. There's no privacy. And the surrounding area is so run down. How about that clay eh? It's a narrow deep hole. Covered in clay? That must get solid like concrete. Does anyone else think about this?

IrmaJean Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have thought about how I would like to be laid to rest after I die, yes. I don't like the idea of being inside a box and buried; I would much rather be out in the wide open and give back to nature as my last act, become one with it. Maybe it would be a small comfort to plan your wishes in writing? Death and funerals (or even birthdays) can trigger fears around it, I think. I think most of us likely have some struggles around that. I personally draw comfort from the thought of deeper connection. My energy and essence will live on through nature long after my form ceases to exist. But I think everyone has to find their own path to peace. Maybe talking about it and sharing is helpful? I hope so. Did you have the chance to skate yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
