- "I'm also a recovering addict. I enjoyed this because it's hard to not feel shame for our past experiences, and I can relate. But, I let the shame become my motive. Some people never come out of it. Let that be your reminder. Thank you for sharing. :)"

- "I never dignified this comment with a reply. That was selfish of me; it meant more to me than I could ever say. For what it's worth, I did find my way, and life is again beauty, manifest. Happiness is a decision, indeed... But thoughts like the one you gave me were half the reason I was ever able to decide again. Here's hoping you had a similar recovery, because the world is a dark enough place without people like you who strive to remind others of its beautiful light. Thank you, so very much."

- "this has a trembling hurt to it; the closing couplet was indeed painfully poignant and pointed both, but your words, i would daresay, are anything but paltry....they over.shadow if anything.....it is so very hard to come to grips with being abandoned, being left with your heart in your hands, let alone your throat, trying to gulp down emotion......an honest write. a true one."

- "yes, the shit you learn from your 'other life' does eventually become relevant to your 'real life.' but the blending requires practiced patience and a bit of aggressiveness (because you still have to go against the masses). love this one ! "

- "i can feel every word of this. when you find that place that makes you feel whole again, please share the directions. it's been three years for me.... keep writing, as this (even in the midst of your suffering) is inspiring..."

- "Those last few lines say it all... how cruel to be given an angel and to know her love, then have her taken away, everything else left only to pale in comparison... it never stops hurting. I ache for you, stranger. I knew an angel once, too. This is beautiful and familiar and so very intimate. Forgive my boldness. I think it is better (even though I often disagree with myself) to have known such beauty and lost it... than to have been ignorant all along. You are not selfish. You are suffering. There's quite a difference. I just hope you don't become so wrought with grief that you rob yourself of happiness. That would be a tragedy. Happiness is a decision, after all. ...Thank you for sharing this. It's exquisite."

- ""I've lost the insecurities. Discarded all the anger, remembered how to breathe.But for all the rebuilding, she is still gone." this is so beautiful..so full of pain, i feel almost intrusive reading it. i feel intrusive commenting on it, but i wanted to let you know that this truly touched me. "
