tsukikageTanuki-chan's having quite a bit of a problem lately. I haven't seen her much lately, but it's kinda hard for me, partly for that reason. To be honest, although online friends are much more distanced, she's one of my best friends. I just wish I could be there more... Call her... Walk with her... If she's a hugger, hug her. (I'm rarely a hugger, but... I'd make an exception here.)
......
What would I do in her situation, though? I guess I'm in a sort of reverse situation, but no pressures. I'm an atheist (and I promise to explain this all later), but I'm trying to believe in Christianity, mostly for my own sanity. I have this intense fear of death as eternal oblivion.
I held my fear off for a while by converting to Catholocism, but I realized this was a false belief, and the ground fell out. I'm just going to read the bible and talk with Patrick (and other Christians), and if God (if he exists) comes to, he'll come to me. I'm going to leave my heart open, but I'm not going to lie to myself again... Most importantly, if it's possible, I want to KNOW my beliefs so I can learn to be comfortable with them.
It's really not the same, but it's the same struggle of hanging on the edge. Wakaranai. Yea for reincarnation! =P (My "afterlife" of choice. Not finite, not eternal.)

tsukikage85: ne, i've been wanting to ask you something...
tsukikage85: i guess...
tsukikage85: assuming this is what you believe... does it... bother?... you that i'm going to hell
RedClaw49: I think there's hope, and focus on that.
RedClaw49: And try not to think about the rest, that's the best answer I can give..
RedClaw49: I'd like to talk about that more some time..
RedClaw49: (Read, not now, I'm sleepy.. -smiles at you-)
tsukikage85: lol
tsukikage85: ok
tsukikage85: *kisses you on your nose*
RedClaw49: I love you and I hope you'll change your mind..
tsukikage85: i do to...
RedClaw49: -smiles at you, hugging you gently-
tsukikage85: if only for my sanity =P

Tanuki-chan, don't do anything you'll regret, and that goes for either decision.

I'll tell you what's been going on later. All I can say is, driver's ed is DONE! *dances around the room like the mad maniac I am*
