He was one of my favourites in the entire world. It sucks that he felt he had no other alternative or hope than to commit suicide. How hard of a decision must that have been. WOW.. painful stuff!<br />Gia, I hope that you and everyone else who suffers from this thing keep strong and always remember no to follow the dark voices that tell you that your life isn't beautiful and meaningful, because it absolutely is. You'd be missed so please never give in.<br /><br />DannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049261319969434168.post-70362013531731870102014-08-14T08:07:05.837-04:002014-08-14T08:07:05.837-04:00I've never seen anyone write like you before. ...I've never seen anyone write like you before.

On top of the fact that you battle an eating disorder it must be so hard to bare. I just wanted to reach out and tell you that you are such a brave young woman to put it all out there like that. These kinds of things need to be said and voiced aloud more often, so that society can hear them and make things better in our world. So please, NEVER feel embarrassed or intimidated to say them. No matter what you may think, you are a strong person. An incredible person. You not only bare "the slings and arrows of your outrageous fortune" you share them and that is no easy feat. I applaud you, sweet Writer. Keep writing always. No matter what you may think, WE - your public are always reading, listening and looking forward to it. You're having quite a life right now but someday soon your ashes will be made into beauty. So, please promise to stick around to see it all blossom. <br />FYI.. since the terrible circumstances of the late, great Robin Williams, there have been more calls to the suicide and depression distress line than ever before. That means a lot, right? You blogs can also have the same affect. So share them-always!<br /><br />Much appreciation<br />AdrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
