We play with our phones on a date, we post messages on facebook to our friends instead of calling them, and don’t EVEN get me started on sending close friends and family member e-cards instead of a handwritten sentiment. I totally relate to the feeling of loneliness; we have a constant reminder that 500+ people know who we are, but only a couple actually want to call us or hang out.<br /><br />Also, I’m still surprised that my boyfriend loves me. I’m a good person, but I’ve also got faults. At some point I tore down the walls, took off my makeup, and stood there as the person I truly am. He still loves me…possible even more because of it. Blows my mind every single day.<br /><br />Lastly, I look up to you. Big time! When you wanted to write with me I was totally floored. I really respect you as a writer, but most importantly, as a human being. That means a lot because you know what a cynical bitch I can be ;) I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels the same about you.<br /><br />Awesome piece!Jen and Tonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521527507409190319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538303186554500986.post-28651833620216730072011-04-19T20:05:02.268-07:002011-04-19T20:05:02.268-07:00Of all your columns to date, this one is my favori...Of all your columns to date, this one is my favorite. It lacks the biting edge of a rake slap, but it does expose a raw nerve that needs to be touched from time to time. As you've noted, too often we focus on the negative, and it's heartening to see your gaze turn toward something positive.Matthew Clementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477101694380519172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538303186554500986.post-1667819306646562492011-04-13T19:16:58.583-07:002011-04-13T19:16:58.583-07:00As you know, the first thing that I thought when I...As you know, the first thing that I thought when I read the title of this one was you need to remember to write 3 things! ; ) However, I must say I wasn't expecting to read what I did. Not only did it hit close to home, it almost brought tears to my eyes. You are such a brilliant and talented man and writer. You never fail to amaze me. From humor to opinionated and raw to heartfelt, your way with words is not only impressive, it's admirable. It's one of the many reasons...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538303186554500986.post-57110203445498190772011-04-12T20:23:57.746-07:002011-04-12T20:23:57.746-07:00What about, someone hates you?

A year ago I got a facebook message from a girl that I went to college with that lived on my floor freshman year. I honestly don't remember her, and I remember EVERYONE and why I remember them. She told me about how afraid of me she was, how I ruined her freshman year at college and how whenever she saw me walking toward her she would turn and walk the other way. She was apparently the Prom Queen at her High School, most popular, and she believes that I came along to teach her to be humble. I looked at her facebook profile and everything and didn't even have an inkling of who she was. I of course wrote her a lengthy message back telling her that I was sorry, even though I honestly think that this was a case of mistaken identity. So just know that somewhere, someone out there hates you, and I'm not talking ex-girlfriends.OZ101https://www.blogger.com/profile/04863850858972350299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538303186554500986.post-87637099752670346062011-04-12T11:27:19.850-07:002011-04-12T11:27:19.850-07:00Very warm and fuzzy!
