A general thank you.

I mentioned this to a casual LJ-acquaintance after reading one of her posts. Everybody on my friends list is so depressing, talking about horrible conditions in hopsitals, terrible news, injustice and prejudice, as many depressing things as I can think of. This is even before those of you who talk about your own lives (you'll notice that I don't, but then, my life really doesn't have any angst or drama outside of my own mind).

Thanks.

This is important stuff, and I know myself that it's easy to just hide away from it all, but that doesn't do anything. Better to just keep talking about it, because people listen.

*hugs everyone*

Oh, and those of you who talk about your own lives? That's important too. *hugs tightly* It's good to get that stuff out, y'know?

Bah. I don't know if I consider it a good thing to write about depressing life stuff. I don't like being depressed, myself, or reading about other people having troubles. I really should give up LJ and dedicate myself to a paper journal.

No, no, no. I mean, go read what you want, but it's good to be able to say "look, I can sympathise with figgy and give her a hug, and that scarf that is now more than a year overdue". And marzipan. Everybody likes marzipan.

*hugs* I try to keep stuff reasonably balanced & I LOVE reading your journal.

I always love reading your journal. I hope you aren't horribly annoyed by my journal; I try to keep it upbeat for the most part.

[conuly]

Nah, cheerful is also good :)

Wow, an honest and GOOD opinion about depressing posts. I'm shocked and impressed. You rock.

Yeah! I let out some of my anger this way, but I don't whine all the time. It's good to have a balance.
