January 11, 2005:

Torn.

On the one hand, anger at treatment received. Unjust accusations, pettiness, insults, disloyalty.

On the other hand, sympathy toward a loved one who is struggling to cope with emotions which appear to be overwhelming and perhaps not completely understood.

Life, help me to know the right ways to respond. I would like to be helpful, to see my friends happy and be happy myself. It's important to me to do what's right, that is what's best, for myself and all of us. Also if it's at all possible I'd very much like to not get my ass kicked too badly.

Very much appreciated.

With affection...
