16 on My Deathbed.. This for Janetk



16 on my "Deathbed".. this for "janetk"

I been reading your blogs "janetk". I am actually "impressed". You are "funny", "real", "moody", and alot more. But it's obvious you are kinda "depressed". I jokingly said in a blog before "your psycho".. but was basically kidding. I think your a "great gal" really.. But I also think you are having some problems in life.

I don't know your life. I do know mine has been hard at times. Great at times. I won't go into that deeply here. I will say, "experience makes us stronger".

The picture above, did not become my "deathbed". Most thought it would. I lost 50-70 lbs (I don't know exact). I had to relearn to walk. I was messed up, and hospitalized a long time. This was my "first" major thing (and many followed).

I cannot say I ever got over the "erratic" nature I've had. I can say I learned to deal with it...

What I never said before to you.. is why "I feel", I started living the way I do. I drank, I smashed cars, I smashed motorcycles (alot) because I couldn't "cope". When "young", I pretty much did everything with no care. Now, I still do things (not drink and drive), but I can still live wild at times. I prefer not too..

Right now, you are having a hard time "coping" (I think).. You have to "try" to cope better. If you don't, you will go down a dark path. Today, I drink, party.. but I "cope'. I won't be getting in a car with friends, and flipping it.. it. I have matured.. but still like a good time..

I am only here because "God" (for some stupid reason) wants me here. By all accounts, I should be dead....

Take care sweetie,
Gary :)

Oh gosh...don't ever stress out about what you've said to me! It's incredibly difficult to actually offend me...and when someone has, I usually let them know and give them the benefit of the doubt.

I think that honesty is really important and I therefore really value someone's honesty when they're speaking to me. I think it's critical to be honest in what we say and how we act.

I know you're not preaching...if I thought you were, I likely wouldn't read or respond. I meant what I said about valuing your opinions and experiences. We are a lot alike.

I relate to what you say about erratic behaviour except that my "erracticness" is usually a bit more out of control...the coping mechanisms that I mentioned. I will be doing fine for a while and then something will trigger it and I'll feel the way that I did for so many years. It's a process, isn't it? One day at a time, trying to be the best you possibly can.

Thanks again.

Well, aren't you sweet?

"I am only here because "God" (for some stupid reason) wants me here" made me laugh.

Thank you for sharing with me some of your experiences and for offering your advice. It is not lost on me, at all. You and I are a lot alike in some ways...my destruction was in a very different form than yours and it, for the most part, stemmed from the actions of others in my life. I am working on healing from those events and moving forward. It's not easy. I have learned some very unhealthy coping mechanisms that I am working very hard to reverse.

You say you should be dead. I should be, too. Barring that, I should be in a looney bin. How I have managed to get this far in life, relatively unscathed, is a mystery to most people.

Blogging helps me to gain my perspective. I helps me release things so that they don't eat me alive. Thanks for reading and thanks for the encouragement, Gary.
