For my friend

I think these lyrics say it very well...

Everybody Hurts by REM
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

I love you. You are a beautiful person, and I hope you know how much you are loved, and I hope you don't shut yourself away. I would miss you, and I know so would others.

Strange vibes... Everything just feels weird right now. It's funny how much people I've never met face to face have come to mean so much to me. So much, that when they have too much going on in their day to day lives that they don't have time for the people on the other side of that computer, I miss them. And it kinda hurts. It's like getting the silent treatment, and you have no idea what's wrong.

I really should be working on an email to this guy I've "met" at the dating service. But should it really be "work" to write an email? I'm just not feeling it. But I know a lot of that is because I'm just so out of practice with the whole socialization, just talking to get to know someone. I know I should be asking questions of this guy to get to know him, but I don't know what to ask.
