One Hello World

“My flat mate was hit and killed by a car. And the first thing we did as flat, was to go to his room and remove the copious amount of weed that he had there, so that his parents would always think of him as their perfect little son.”

Empty Sex
I have been waiting to share this for ages because it’s making me feel awful. And I’m hoping that there’s somebody else in the room who kind of does something similar or feels the same way. But, I have a boyfriend who I do really, really love. But, I have sex with other people, because it’s the only thing that makes me feel worth anything and helps my depression. But, then afterwards, I feel emptier than ever.

All I Ever Wanted From You

“We don’t have to do anything extraordinary. We don’t have to talk about anything important. We don’t have to make any hard decisions or hurt any feelings or say anything significant at all. We just have to be together.”

Such a wonderful thought about what is truly valuable in relationships. Thanks for calling.

In the Wake of the Day

“I’ve never felt more alive, more encouraged, more determined in my entire life. I’m 25 and I’m on the verge of starting up a business. But, it’s with the way my mother raised me and where I’m at now: how I’ve become a strong, intelligent man…”

Mornings always hold so much potential. Thanks for calling.

They Just Want Me for Sex

“Honestly, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m even worth dating… because I don’t do what the other girls do.”

Stay young, stay foolish. Thanks for calling.

Waiting for Peter Pan

“I’m not afraid to grow up. I guess I’m just afraid that I’ll forget what it’s like to be a kid.”

Stay young, stay foolish. Thanks for calling.

Coming Out Would Ruin My Life

“"I just want to finally be able to say that I’m gay without being afraid of getting hurt. To be able to go out and actually find someone that I can marry and settle down with later on in life. To just finally find the happiness I’ve been longing for for several years.”

Happy National Coming Out Day. I hope that you that someday soon you can be in a place where you can be true to yourself and feel safe. Thanks for calling.

In Dreams of Falling Leaves, She’s My Inspiration

“I wonder what it would be like to actually be with her, you know? It’s that one dream that you have over and over again: holding hands, walking between the trees and all the leaves are falling. You lie down on that blanket underneath that one tree and you sit and you smile at each other. It’s so real, until you wake up and realize no matter what you’ve done, in the end, you feel all alone.”

Maybe if you shared with her the fact that she’s your inspiration (and some of the resulting creations), maybe you could realize that dream of yours. :-) Thanks for calling.

Your Downward Spiral

“I don’t know when you got so angry or when you thought it was ok to treat other people like trash on your race to get sloshed at a party, Jay. All I can say is: I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there to catch you at that point and turn you around.”

Sorry to hear it. I hope that with your love, patience and support, he can be better. Thanks for calling.

Seeing the Beauty Like I’ve Never Opened My Eyes Before

“Happiness is a feeling I thought I’d forgotten and I thought I’d never have it again. But I’m here to tell you that for the first time in years, I’m not just existing - I’m living. I’m seeing the beauty in everything like I’ve never even opened my eyes before. Getting clean is not easy. If you ask me, I think it’s a train wreck. But it’s so worth it.”

I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. I hope your story stands as an inspiration for anybody who is fighting drug addiction - it gets better. Thanks for calling (again).

This call was a follow up to Working With Chimps Helped Me End My Drug Addiction.

Alone But Not Lonely

“I think that loneliness is a term that’s misconceived by everybody. There’s two different things: there’s being alone and there’s being lonely. I’ve learned loneliness is only something you invite when you’re by yourself. And I can be by myself and be completely happy.”

I very much enjoy my solitary time, too. Thanks for calling.
