    I thought it might be nice to have this, and the two I have thought of are actually song lyrics, but feel free to post whatever you feel is appropriate...

    Angels of Devils by Dishwalla

    this is the last time
    that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
    this is the last time - I will fall
    into a place that fails us all - inside

    I can see the pain in you
    I can see the love in you
    but fighting all the demons will take time
    it will take time

    the angels they burn inside for us
    are we ever
    are we ever gonna learn to fly
    the devils they burn inside of us
    are we ever gonna come back down
    come around
    I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

    -----

    if I was to give in - give it up
    - and then
    take a breath - make it deep
    cause it might be the last one you get
    be the last one
    that could make us cold
    you know that they could make us cold
    I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

    Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

    And I don?t want the world to see me
    ?cause I don?t think that they?d understand
    When everything?s made to be broken
    I just want you to know who I am

    Those lyrics are really deep. I will be pondering them for awhile

    This part of Free Fallin' by Tom Petty:

    And I'm free, free fallin'
    Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
    Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm
    Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm

    I wanna glide down over Mulholland
    I wanna write her name in the sky
    Gonna free fall out into nothin'
    Gonna leave this world for a while

    And I'm free, free fallin'
    Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

    It's like all of sudden you're walking a tightrope without a saftey net. Once in a while it still crosses my mind that there is no net and it upsets me. Most of the time I don't think about it though.

    Another Tom Petty favorite I loved to hear when dealing with the whole ordeal was "I won't back down". That one always lifted me up. Lyrics are mixed but they mentioned these verses

    I won't back down
    You can stand me at the gates of hell
    No, I'll stand my ground
    And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
    There ain't no easy way out

    Well, I know what's right
    I got just one life
    And a world that keeps on pushin' me around

    Another favorite of mine when trying to be independent from others was D.J. D.J. from Transplants

    We're gonna make it on our own
    We don't need anyone
    Lord knows we don't need you

    If you feel like rockin' out to a song, there you go

    very cliched I know but it has helped me

    Go on now go walk out the door
    just turn around now
    'cause you're not welcome anymore
    weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
    you think I'd crumble
    you think I'd lay down and die
    Oh no, not I
    I will survive
    as long as i know how to love
    I know I will stay alive
    I've got all my life to live
    I've got all my love to give
    and I'll survive
    I will survive

    It took all the strength I had
    not to fall apart
    kept trying hard to mend
    the pieces of my broken heart
    and I spent oh so many nights
    just feeling sorry for myself
    I used to cry
    Now I hold my head up high
    and you see me
    somebody new
    I'm not that chained up little person
    still in love with you
    and so you felt like dropping in
    and just expect me to be free
    now I'm saving all my loving
    for someone who's loving me

    It funny but when you are a JW you aren't really allowed to love yourself

    well as of now I give myself permission to do just that

    thats how these words have helped me

    Hey, Flyin, leave my Stuart Smalley alone. LOL

    Corvin, I love Stuart. He's a great guy. Not only that but:

    "He's fun to be with. Because he's good enough, he's smart enough and doggone it, people like him."
