Oh, good Derek. I'm glad to hear it. You created Astral Travels man! You have no idea how many times I've put that on to blow off steam. And you're back together with your ex and aren't you headed off to university soon enough?

The irony of flowers, for a dying person, as I see it, is you watch something bloom, grow, flourish, nurture it, then watch it die.
I think in a way, it would give some peace and speak to one about the nature of things.
Life is momentary.

I understand that, and you're correct, I wasn't necessarily focused on that element of his post.
However, I don't see how making himself die sooner is going to somehow cure his woes of eventually dying. Ironic flowers, or not.
Adam knows I really like him. He's right, he was one of the first people on here to ever be nice to me (him, NR and Derek). I respect him a whole lot, which is why i guess I reacted the way that I did to what he was saying.
Plus I've been baked out of my mind running away from my own catastrophic grievances... if that's worth a damn.
Que Sera,
Sera
