i know i missed you. my arms are only so long. i sometimes say they are too long, yet find they are too short. how can they be both?
i'm sorry that i don't have the right words to make you feel loved enough? how can i frame them in such a way so that you believe them? how much longer do my arms have to be? i'll keep stretching them though, as long as you need them.
you were missed, i promise you. did you hear me whispering to you? i almost thought i heard you whispering back. maybe i was wrong? you're loved jyl. i promise. and i'm still very sorry.

k,
the point of my post was not directed at you..or your arms..so please rest them by your side.
alot of you seem to have such a connection and the rest of us can feel left out..
your post about "gossip" should have included everyone..not just the posts who you felt were important.that is how "i feel".
i am sitting here grasping for ....anyone ...hope.....
your words today turned my intention into something it was not..
i was just trying to say "help"

I'm sorry you're feeling bad jyl.
I have to admit that initially, that post made me feel left out too. But then I figured karen_kay was just telling that person about people they knew, rather than what she felt were the most important posts. So I decided not to take it personally.
Can you let us know what's going on with you? Maybe it will help.
P.S. Don't feel bad KK, written messages are misinterpreted all the time. Its the nature of the beast. You didn't do anything inappropriate in my opinion.

(((jyl))) You may have noticed that I spend an inordinate amount of time on this board, ahem. (Yes I do still hold a full time job, folks. I count my blessings every single day.) Some of us can easily speak out when we are hurt, scared, or confused, or all at once - hello!! And others, perhaps like you, clam up when you're in need. It's not easy for you to say that you're hurting and need a voice or a written human contact. The hard part is putting that post out there, because it makes you more vulnerable.
As you can see here, you are loved, supported, and missed. We are your kindred spirits. We are comforted by the communion of Babble. It doesn't matter what you post; inane, repititious, incoherent! - just let us know that you're here.
Darn, I've gone back to capitalising. I need lots more practice.

i emailed you. and i'm not trying to make you feel bad, but i cried and i cried because i hurt you. and i've cried today several times because i remember that i hurt you. that in turn hurts me. and i still hurt, something i can't change dear, as much as i wish i could. i'm still reaching dear.
the gossip thread. i have to pick and choose. is it better to just not post at all? is that the best thing for me? it honestly hurts me that i leave people out. if i do it, it's my own personal fault, not theirs. i wish i could do it all, but i'm human and i make mistakes. i wish i didn't. but i fuck up sometimes. i wish i didn't hurt people, but i do. i try to stay in contact with people off the boards that i care about, even if i miss them on the boards. honestly, i wish i could do it all, but i can't. it's my problem. and i'm sorry people are hurt by my problems.but this place sucks me in and i'm already trapped here far too many hours in a day. to think i could devote any more of my time here would be even more dangerous and irresponsible for me. i'm already pissing my life away.
honestly miss jyl, i'm sorry i didn't mention you in that post. i'm sorry i didn't mention texas chick. i'm sorry i missed sar when she was here. i'm sorry i didn't meet many of the great people who were here a long time ago. i'm sorry i never see kid around anymore. i'm sorry my mom can't tell me she loves me. i'm sorry my ddad loved me too much. i'm sorry i'm half dead. i'm sorry i quit everything i start. i'm sorry i leave all of my friends. i'm sorry i never call anyone back. i'm sorrry i drop everything when something new or better comes around. i'm sorry for many things right now. i'm sorry i can't write. i'm sorry i can't spell. i'm sorry i can't keep my life straight. and i'm sorry you have to listen to this.

KK, you're making me cry! I knew you would feel bad about this but you shouldn't! It was just a random collection of events that got misconstrued. Please don't be so hard on yourself. I love to read your posts. You are so kindhearted and loving. The reason you're getting so upset is because you are a sensitive person, and that's a gift! You are a good person!
YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON!!!
Please be a little easier on yourself, you deserve it. I hope you feel better soon.

Sunshine goes around corners, did you know that KK? It can go to Canada, it can go to Indiana, it's amazing. Especially the sunshine in Florida, which THANK HEAVENS (I never thought I'd say this) is finally back! You guys are my backbone. KK, I'm sorry that you feel this place is sucking your backbone of its marrow... it should be strengthening you, not taking it away. You sound like you're in a dark, deep place, like maybe an aquarium that hasn't been cleaned in a long time, just fed, and the algae has built up on the glass so everything is all murky, and it smells - well - fishy.
I am the scraper that cleans the aquarium!
I am miss sunshine!
I am better today, so take advantage before I dive again, ladies!!Use us, use us, use us. Babble only works if we can speak to each other about our pain and hurt. Emails are beautiful; Babble is the place where the WORLD can reach out to help us.

Please don't be so hard on yourself....
remember you wouldn't be this hard on anyone else...would you?
We all love you so much and each of us wants to be included in any wonderful post you post.We love you.
We can and will forgive you for any thing you do.....none of us is perfect.
I understand sometimes your thoughts are on one or more people that might not include those of us that would love to be included.
That is the cost of popularity.....
we all love you.
We all want your attention.
It's sometimes too much for you.
I know I am guilty of wanting your wonderful attention.
Please breath and relax.....you can rest easy.

Hey, hey. Take it easy, my love. You are heard, we hear you. Mostly I hear the hurt and loneliness. I am so very sorry - sometimes being public like here on Babble invites all the other hurts in too. That doesn't diminish your pain, nor the love and caring that is sent to you.
Babble has to be so many things to so many people.
Actually, KK has been as scarse as you have been lately. It gets awfully lonely in these parts with such a diminished audience (speaking for myself only). So I'm afraid we're borrowing posts... please do not be offended.
You are heard. You are being read. You are being responded to.

I'm sorry jyl. In my attempt to connect with you I believe I insulted Karen_Kay, which is why I felt the need to post a message letting her know that was not my intention and I that I do think highly of her. But apparently neither one of you care to speak with me, so I think I'll just shut up now and stay out of your threads.
I hope you will post to the people you do want to speak with here, and I hope you get to feeling better soon.

***Sorry, I realize now that I really didn't understand this post.
It sounded like KK was so very upset.
I just wanted to smooth her furrowed brow, dry her tears and give her a big hug.
I was that upset on PB and she was very sweet and supportive to me.
I wanted to return the favor.I'm sorry something sweet said to KK translated as something not sweet said to you.
Please don't go home.....
we need and appreciate you here.

i didn't mean to neglect you. i'm sorry dear. i'm dense at times and it takes a good whacking to gain my attention. next time, feel free to just smack me, ok?
you're sweet, you know it? and supportive too. and i bet you're sexy too. that's the three S's, making a deadly combination.
of course i want you to post to me. in fact, i want you to post only to me. from now on. no one else, shall you post to. if i see it, i'm going to scream. think i won't? try me!
toodles dear.
(and you didn't insult me. not at all. just remeinded me that i sometimes leave people out. reminded me of a fault i have. it was nothing to do with you, and everything to do with me. not your fault, my fault. can you forgive me, once again, for my personal fault, not yours?)

Okay, I was just in a very bad mood and you made me laugh. Thank you for that. And no apologies neccessary. I was just afraid I made you and jyl mad and that was why you guys weren't responding to me. See, that's a fault I have – paranoia.
Thanks again for the sweet email. It made me feel much better.

we are here just waiting to be of support. There's plenty of love and caring.
I know it's hard for me to ask for support as well.
It's a good stretch.....I will continue to look forward to your post.
