Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
From an outside view it may seem so, but no, she’s an admirable person actually. She’s just angry at the world.
Hey you! So it was YOU that she was referring to yesterday???
She never did tell me who it was. Just to be very careful with someone who had been in contact with me.
I advised her on how to try to end her account here.
But, you know, even as I was reading her rants, I was very skeptical. Reserved.
Because, from experience, I KNOW that there are always two sides to every story.
And now that I know who the other party is in her story, I am really shocked.
Billy, we all have pasts.
Some of which is just not that pleasant.
But we all ended up here for some reason.
Most have typed “help” into the subject line.
That tells me that they are reaching out, needing something.
And the ones that stay here AFTER they have gotten their help are the ones that I admire.
The ones that stay to help others.
That says alot about a person, I think.
I’ve seen you help people here.
With your words. With your poetry.
I really don’t care what any one else thinks of you.
But, I agree.
JJ is apparently hurting right now.
She is hurting herself with all of that incredible anger.
And when people are that angry and hurt, they are capable of saying alot of hurtful things to the target of their wrath. (You).
I don’t and won’t hold anything against her. I don’t know her, for one thing.
But if she ever does come back, really needing someone to just listen, I will listen.
And maybe just maybe get her to see things differently.
Maybe getting her to just laugh and move on.
I hope that it is that easy.
But anyway, no worries here, Billy.
You’ve got a life outside of Help.com.
You deserve your privacy. And I really feel as though that has been
breached big time.
Oh well. Its a new day.
Billy, I hope that you aren’t hurt so much by all of this.
And for pete sake, please never stop with your work, OK?
Now THAT would be tragic!
Please try to have a wonderful day if you can.
Hope to see you around the house here.
Peace always
Edie
Thank you for your supportive words Edie, they are truly appreciated. She wanted to talk today and I wouldn’t, I’ve tried before to talk of the anger and pain that takes her to the brink and causes her to hurt those she says she cares about and she can’t or wont understand. Though she lashes out in a very vindictive, destructive way I’ve seen the true person behind the hurt. She has a wonderful heart and at the risk of saying too much, she has an insight into others that would amaze anyone. I still will not say a bad word about her regardless of what she’s said about me. You never make yourself look good by making others look bad. Thank you again for your supportive words, :)

I don’t judge people on what others say, until they do something to make me think otherwise I treat them with respect and friendship. Two sides to every story I always think. :-)
She is in my prayers :)
I understand that, and my heart goes out to her. Thanks..
Thank you lilies, I have sympathy for her but have closed all contact with her. She has some things to work on, like all of us, but someday she will make a great friend to others. And yes I know she will return, I see that, have a great day..

This time it’s not a poem, it’s a request that you understand the heart of another.
I’m sure some are appalled, some are curious, some were taken by her charm, and some were skeptical.
Recently some of you met an extremely bright, intelligent, and talented woman online in this venue. “jjlove”. She was someone I became acquainted with about a year and a half ago. We became great friends but I stopped it from becoming more for personal reasons. I have never been forgiven that decision and her anger at times becomes more than she can deal with. She’s human please don’t hold it against her, I don’t. Some of what she has posted online about me is the truth, though most of it is just anger. And this is not the first time it’s happened.
The reason for this post is only to say I understand and I ask you do the same. For any of you here that are religious I’ll ask that you say a prayer allowing her to let go of the anger that drives her. For any friends who have questions about her posts please feel free to ask.
I’ll not chronicle my life here, but for those I see as friends I’ll tell you all of it, though some of it isn’t pretty. Those lessons and experiences are what drive my writing, my need to help others, and most all of my passions in life. Please do not think ill of her, she’s a wonderful person she just needs to realize it in her heart. I think if all of you reach out to her when she returns, and she will, it may just be enough for her to see that the entire world will care if she does.
