oct 15, 2013 hi d his reply..
Note from SH - one reason I like dm, if i havent said it before is that he is doing a lot of the same things that i wanted to do myself when i was "younger" -- i see so much of myself in him or i feel so much loss from the fact i never did what i wanted to do - for example, make documentary movies.. as he has done - interview pple about the "mental health" system in various countires, enjoy life a bit, travel, make a difference in the world, say what i really think and feel.. etc... all of that just about makes me cry now... dm is a bit like an adopted "son" to me i guess. i dont have any kids. i keep "adopting" them and then losing them. i am afraid d and i will also part ways one day. i "hope" that doesnt happen. one of my personal goals is to try to keep this correspondence going. ie not lose him from my life - he is fairly important to me right now. i feel more alone than anyone really understands. not even my own partner fully understands. daniel is the closest thing i would call to a peer or colleauge. i am not sure he considers me as a peer or colleague. i dont really know how he feels about me but he has been replying to my mails and that helps me feel encouraged, hopeful, motivated and less depressed and suicidal. i see a LOT of potential in daniel. i want to keep supporting him. i fear the moments when we run into some big conflict. i am gonna try to avoid that. but it usually happens with everyone in my life and i feel a need to leave them or they feel a need to leave me, as david caruso did, for example. i still feel pain from the loss of david's friendship... anyhow, yeah, thats a bit more of how i feel and why etc. SH.
