blog of the year award. make it. for this.


I know the feeling. I lost my grandfather end of last year and I think I've never really felt the same since before. It sounds cliche but you really don't realise how much you care until something is out of your life.

Cheers to staying strong, don't fall into the trap of thinking it's just for other people. Look after yourself too.

Thank you for the wonderful insight. Very nicely written, I commend your friend for being so strong. I lost 2 of my grandmothers during the same year, about 2 years ago, and even then, I still can't imagine what it would be like to lose someone as close to me as my mother.

I get that exact same feeling of helplessness and desperation sometimes when I'm drinking and someone is talking about his/her mother. But then I drink some more and it goes away.
In this moments I always got Metallica - All Within My Hands on my mind. Maybe because I listened to that song 8 hours straight when my mom died.

To laugh at the good things and to bear the sad things. It's what we have to do.

Let's hope that there will always be more good things in the future.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Accepting pain is a different story, the human mind is very cruel to us in dealing with pain.

Drinking/taking drugs will only help oh-so-much, it merely just puts your mind off the pain temporarily then hits you back double for it.

Remember, you are who you are. Your late family/friends last wish was for your happiness and well being.

Here's a song for everyone.

Very powerful words, been reading all your blog posts and it has made me very sad.

I come from a broken home and I've been through very hard times. I've been up and I've been down and I tried to stay strong but its hard. I've always been a very empathetic and sympathetic person and it hurts me more then anything else in my life. I cant stand watching people suffer and I want to help everyone but I cant. I get overwhelmed and stall.

Everyone deals with there problems in different ways, I love music and I put it in songs. Gaming is also something that really helps me. The escape of going into a video game or just writing a song is unprecedented and is probably why im still functioning as a human being.
