How am I?
Surprisingly I am doing ok, yeah lots of crap lately. Big and serious stuff, along with the just generally annoying (my car's engine light is on, it is only 3 years old grrrrr) So I dig deep and tuck in and go on. That is it in a nutshell. Am I disappointed, yes terribly. Am I sad, sure who wouldn't be, do I feel like giving up, yeah I do. I might, just can't place too much hope on a maybe. Nothing is clear on this end of things. So I work, it keeps me sane. On that note, I am off to work now. Be well...

I noticed you have the comment 'melancholy and a bit lost' beside your avatar.
I have a fair idea of how you are feeling but dont give up hope Corby dear, I always try to be optimistic and being that way or maybe fooling myself look forward to better days.
Everything else might seem to be going against you but your poetry is both beautiful & inspiring & I so look forward to visiting your Blog and finding Corbyhawk treasures here. :)
Corby, I don't know the particulars of whatever you are dealing with except for what you relate here - love and death - and cars. You're right - big and serious stuff - and annoying. But you have one huge asset in your quiver - time! It really is the great (but slow) healer. And, you are not only talented, you are young! Being "nourished" by experience will contribute to a meaningful life ahead and actually feed your work in the meantime. Wisdom is that light at the end of the tunnel - the consolation, perhaps, for suffering. Go on, 'glut thy sorrow on a morning rose...' (I often turn to Keats when melancholy fits fall my way).
ya know, dear...maybe you need to walk away from the thing(s) that hurt you the most. I realize not all (death of loved ones) can be avoided but, maybe cutting the ties with the things you can will help to make you free. Everyone suffers but you are too good in all ways to tolerate what you do not deserve. Be good to you.
Dianne, you are sweet thank you, I am not good at giving up...
dw-I swear you sound like someone I know, but alas I am not as young as I seem. However you are right, I need more Keats and time. :-)
Jean-believe me I know and I am trying to be.
Thanks to all of you!
