Sorry you feel bad. I never know what to say when loss is involved, because I know that with me, time is the only treatment. Things people say to make me feel better usually make me feel that they just don’t quite get it.
Suggestions: Visualize what’s-her-name standing on her head; Watch an Obama speech; And as for that twisty necky thing in the picture…WD-40?

Haha. I’ll be OK. I always am. Just sad. Time will help. I hate that I’m “good” at this particular type of recovery since I’ve been here before – more than once. Actually, that emoticon wasn’t supposed to be straight-up sad. It was more like: what the fuck do I do with myself and this free-floating unrest?
I know the idea of bad luck is stupid, but in times like this, it does feel very real.

Carlos Casteneda made up a fabled wise Indian in the desert who said something like, “Never believe in luck. You can’t count on it [but when it comes along, enjoy it].”
I say, “Never believe in bad luck. It’s just a salve for disappointment [and it’s a dangerous belief – even if it helps].”

Yeah, I know you think that, and I think you’re probably right. It’s similar to (gasp) believing in god. It’s like you made up an answer because you can’t grasp what’s happening with your little mortal brain. It isn’t real, but it FEELS real, and so you act as if it is.
