Such heartfelt words and I couldn't agree more with you regarding the intimacy of certain online friendships and connections.

Condolences. And hugs.

Please accept my condolences. I won't offer platitudes - I didn't like them when I miscarried - but I do know the pain of this loss and can assure you that while it never goes away completely, it does heal.

Brain pops. Breaks. Realizations. It's all good. (The dead mouse, however, made me a bit queasy.) Sometimes it takes having a break to refresh the mind and spirit and to remember what direction it really is that one is meant to be traveling. If you really want to write musical theater, then by all means DO SO! Heaven knows the theater community is starving for something fresh and new, rather then the same regurgitated tripe it turns out now. You already DO have the skills and the connections and time is all relative anyway, so it is a non-issue. And with the right bit of scheduling (i.e. turn down a few projects here and there once in awhile and get some sleep), it is possible for you to work a "day job" to support yourself while you are doing what you really want to do, what really makes your inner-most self truly happy. It's like the Chariot learning to control both the light and dark, getting both horses to work together for a common goal. You can do it.

Don't force it. Don't worry 'bout it. Let it ride. And never doubt that you, sir, are unforgettable.

I've had moments/days like that where I let loose without the filter between the brain & the mouth working properly. Sadly, it cost me the friendship not only of those I ripped on, but the person I was defending in so doing. Lesson learned - I hope.

I agree (and also why I despise politicians). I've had a lot of time to think about the incident to which I referred - going on a 1-1/2 years now. This distance has allowed me to see that I was going through (still am, to a degree) a "cleansing" time and the Powers That Be were seeing to it that certain toxic relationships would be removed from my life - and boy, were there a lot of them. I experienced a lot of the "letting go of that which no longer serves" and, painful as it was, it has been for the best. Of course, in the process, a lot people have discovered just how colorful my language can be.
