Not really sure how it happened, but it appears I’ve made a new text friend (?). Will detail later if it blossoms into a true friendship. Weird, he checks on me from time to time to make sure I’m having a good day via text message.
Yesterday he sent me several because my day deteriorated pretty quickly (see last entry).
Here is one of them:
“OK. Don’t worry. You will be fine. Promise. Something interesting about the Jews in Nazi camps was that many who survived did so by projecting the future. Those who focused on the present and gave into it died. Dr. Frankel I think. My point..think about how awesome your life is going to be in the near future. Fake yourself out if you have to. think about the awesome man who will love you and be committed and all the great things you will do together. Think about how you will remember these days as funny because you wouldn’t trade the life you’ll be living for the one you had or were going to have with him.”
I’m inspired to continue the grateful list. Not just from this particular text, but from other notes and friends and pure frustration. I’ve gotten so many places when I’ve really set my mind to it. Ready or not…
Seriously, I’m so damn tired of being sad. I’m wasting precious time. On with the day.
