All is not lost, though... Life sucks, true, but it's getting better. "I have to admit it's getting better. Getting better all the time. Yes, I admit it's getting better since you've been mine." ~The Beatles... I mean, in the last year, I've weeded out some people from my life that were just *BEGGING* to be weeded out. Some people who I'd known for *YEARS.* Some people who were "too busy" to give me the attention I deserved, and some people who were just too burnt out on drugs to give me attention... It's funny that I'm addressing this issue again, but I guess when I hit that little "low point," yesterday, that it reminded me, "Yes, things are bad now, but they're not nearly as bad as they were this time last year." I'm not giving anyone "cheap shots," or anything, but it's *AMAZING* how much one's heart heals when one removes certain people from one's life... It's weird that those who claim to *LOVE* you can bring you down, and make you feel like crap... Life sucks... That's been my general assessment of life for the last 17 years... But, removing these poisonous people from my life, and replacing them with people who actually *DO* care about me, and who *REALLY* love me, has done wonders for my bipolar depression thing. How many people do you know who would leave everything behind for you? Who would give up everything in their world just to be with you? *THAT'S* love!!! Someone who stands by your side when things get ugly, and supports you no matter what? My Denise is love! She has given me a whole new reason to tolerate life. She has shown me so much love in the 7 months that I've known her, more love than anyone has ever given me! I love her so much! It's going to be so great growing old with her, and witnessing how much our love can grow! I'm truly thankful for Denise being in my life. She is the glue that keeps my sanity from shattering on to the ground. I love you, Baby Girl!!! <3<3<3
