Screaming Into the Void (and the Void Screaming Back.)

I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that I hadn’t planned to make a post on here this early in the day but, after a really good talk with an old friend I felt like I kind of had to.  Because while there might be a lot of bad things going on in my life right now, I feel like it is imperative to my mental health and wellbeing that I also highlight the good things that are going on too.

Good things like how Angel and I have found a way around her not being here and me not being there, and still being able to watch a show or a movie together.  It may just be starting the same program on Netflix at the same time, telling each other if we need to stop or pause, and discussing it through text messages but, it’s something.  Our current show is The Final Table on Netflix, and it’s pretty great.

Or how I’ve pre-ordered a pizza to pick up at 6:30p.m after I get out of work tonight, so that I can go home and watch Hocus Pocus with my Grandma and BJ.  (And probably the dog.)

Good things happen too.

Let’s not get too far off topic now.

So apparently- and I know some of you may laugh at me for saying this but- I guess people actually come here and read this blog.  Crazy, right?

Actually, according to the statistics, which I’ve never looked at up until now, I found out that there are 38 people worldwide that come and read this.  There are 32 of you currently in the United States, 5 of you in Canada, and one of you all the way in China!  I find that absolutely crazy.  I can honestly say that until it was brought to my attention recently that, I didn’t think anyone actually read the things that I’ve written here.  Since it’s inception in May of this year, this blog has been my way of screaming out into the void, and it didn’t occur to me that there were, or ever would be 38 voices screaming back at me.

Screaming with me.

So, thank you all for being here.

I find it incredibly encouraging that there are people out there who read and care about what I have to say, and support my writing, even if its in such a small way.  If we’re being 100% honest though, which is something I try to be when speaking to all of you, it isn’t a small thing to me at all.  It is monumental.

I love you all so much, thank you.
