I know how it goes and just wanna say, one day it won't hurt so much, you'll feel good knowing that they are no longer hurting. My eldest bro passed away fr cancer too. The pain eventually goes and you heal. :) Your in my thoughts buddy. -Jenna N (Mangapunk#2) Hey Rachel, sorry for your loss.

Mindy, Becca, your backgrounds seem closer to mine than I originally thought. Goes to show how little you know about the people around you at any given time. A testament to self-absorption or respect for people's privacy? I'm never certain which I suffer from! But I feel I know you a little better now, and I thank you for that. I am beginning to realize that many people wear masks to get through life. Which is weird when you consider how much we are encouraged to just "be ourselves" growing up. But sometimes, it just feels safer when you're wearing a mask, even if it's lonelier. Thanks, guys. Mindy, Becca, your backgrounds seem closer to mine than I originally thought.

Like Becca, I too can relate. Leaving a small town for better opportunities, always feeling the pull (and the sense of abandonment) from people back home... and wearing different hats, showing different sides. I'm glad you got out and are thriving here. This is a beautiful post and tribute. Like Becca, I too can relate.

I think there is something about all of us that no one can quite get except "those you knew you when" if you get what I'm saying. I'm someone who always feels like I wear different hats with different groups of people and no one actually gets the full Becca experience, whatever that may be. In other words, I relate.
