(I'm also one of your newest followers).<br />I feel like I know you so well because you write so eloguently. I know it's tough to fight the pull of the Darkness (I've fought it myself as well), but you MUST continue and some day you will be triumphant. The Darkness will be off in the distance, unable to detract from the joy in your life and the love of family and friends (even ones like me you haven't met). Keep strong and keep smiling - that frown in your last photo doesn't suit you.Tess_Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589812908772084336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-42536339094506413992016-09-14T21:46:13.820-04:002016-09-14T21:46:13.820-04:00sophie1lynne@yahoo.comsophie1lynne@yahoo.comSophie Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333071551207169892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-83005774364955984382016-09-14T18:52:58.526-04:002016-09-14T18:52:58.526-04:00I have followed your blog for years now and for re...I have followed your blog for years now and for reasons unknown to me, you have a special place in my heart.<br />I would like to contact you privately.

I&#...Sophie,<br />I was so worried for you reading that.<br />I'm relieved that you couldn't go through with it. I believe you have all the things you say you don't; courage, heart, spine, guts; all of those in spades. To feel so down, to see no other way out but to end your life but to make the decision to carry on knowing what you still face takes courage. <br />Somebody said they believed we are put on Earth for a purpose. I believe that too, I have to when I watch the pain and suffering family and friends go through, people that don't deserve what they get dealt. It might not be obvious as to the reasons and we might not find out in this lifetime but we will find out eventually and it will make sense.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410714441581467404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-79928820331784154482016-09-14T01:04:52.402-04:002016-09-14T01:04:52.402-04:00I was really worried that you were up to something...I was really worried that you were up to something and I am glad that you did not go through with it.

Figure it out girl, because you will always be your own first responder. Today you chose wisely. The last time you chose wisely. We want you to stay with us for awhile and not find yourself again where you have to make this choice. <br /><br />I sat reading today, fearing for you, mentally preparing myself to get packed and head to Pennsylvania to try to stop you, or to join in with those who knew you, as they mourned your foolish death. <br /><br />You don't know me, although we spoke briefly at Keystone a few years ago. You were nice, intense, and exuding confidence on steroids. A couple year later, when I was last at Keystone I wanted desperately to speak to you, as I hold you as a woman of success who has wisdom that many of us only aspire to, only to sense that you were only looking to be with those you already knew. I hated myself for not being more assertive and injecting myself into your inner circle -- at least for a short while. You were (are?) someone I admired and looked up to because of you amazing blog, and your life upon which it is built. Like Kimberly, you have a story of boldness -- of going where no transwoman has gone before, blazing a trail for us to follow. What Lisa was to you, you are to many others. Just because you don't know us as you knew Lisa doesn't lessen the bond we feel with you. That you are unaware of us feeling and sharing your pain doesn't lessen the pain to us reading of your pain. <br /><br />Picture yourself sitting in the park, in your finest dress, wearing gifts from Lisa, Linda, and all your closest friends. Picture them surrounding you. Picture all of Keystone surrounding them, picture all of your sorority sisters surrounding them. And finally picture alll the other transwomen surrounding them -- you're in the middle of all of us. And we are all reaching in to lay our hands on your head and shoulders and let you feel our strength and love flow to you. You are not alone, and you should not consider acting alone when you are hurting. You need to draw on our strength and love. <br /><br />I don't know what else to say, but don't leave your friends like Lisa left.

It's easy to check out when you're hurting so. I've been where you've been a couple of times. So much pain so much heartache it's hard for a body to stand. But I believe we were put on this Earth for a reason sometimes takes a lifetime to figure out what that reason was. So my friend I don't consider you a coward I consider you very brave. Have a drink on me today and I'll raise one in your honor hugs.
