how can i tell you without telling you what has happened.
there is a deeply woven story that runs in and out of the people i am closest to. hollywood could not come up with a more daring and tragic story than what i have seen over the last year. i have what you would consider eight of my closest friends who have all been very much affected by this.
to protect them, i won't go into detail of who and what has happened, but i can tell you that many are falling apart. people now sleeping alone that used to have someone next to them every night. friends that absolutely despise each other who used to be as close as a friend could be.
there is something about getting older and experiencing tragedy that makes a person begin to accept that life in its rawest form consists of failure. when i was young i didn't see the darkness, i saw mostly a future and hope for me and my relationships. i didn't plan this. i didn't want this. but i accept it. failure will come and go, people will hurt me and i'll hurt people, but at the end of the day i want to make good decisions. decisions that build character in me and make me a better person.

Hollywood- Its a poison drug the draws you in with bright lights and drags you under with pain and deep rooted darkness.. If we could not have been born back in the glamorous hollywood days- days where all over the US people had problems but they were overall happy with one another and not so messed up- whats happened to us all..
why is it failure that will come and go? It is only failure if you don't learn from it.
thought of you today ... i was in your neck of the woods visiting a friend at vandy.
bek, you best call me next time you in nashville. we'll grab a soda pop or a summer wheat beer and have a little chit chat:)
is a little chit-chat really possible :) something tells me there is a lot to chat about. hey, i ended up not going to tara's wedding; i am guessing neither did you...
